Weak Hadiths in Sahih al-Bukhari?by GFHaddadIbrahim ibn Ma'qil said: I heard Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari say: 'Iwas with Ishaq ibn Rahuyah when a man said: 'Why don't you compile an epitome(mukhtasar) of the prophetic ways?' This stayed with me, and was the reason whyI compiled this book (the Sahih).' Al-Dhahabi said: 'It has beennarrated through two firm channels of transmission that al-Bukhari said: 'Iextracted this book from about 600,000 (sound) hadiths, and I compiled it over sixteenyears, and I made it a plea for what lies between myself and Allah.' 'Al-Firabri said: Muhammad ibn Isma'il said to me: 'I never included in theSahih a hadith except I made a major ablution (ghusl) and prayed two rak'atbeforehand.' Al-Nawawi said: 'The scholars have agreed that the soundest of all hadithcompilations are the two Sahihs of al-Bukhari and Muslim, and their vastmajority have agreed that the soundest and most beneficial of the two wasal-Bukhari's ' He continued: 'The totality of its hadiths are 7,275with the repetitions and about 4,000 without.' In his Kitab al-Tatabbu', al-Daraqutni argues for the weakness of 78 hadiths inal-Bukhari, 100 in Muslim, and 32 in both based on isnad and matn criticism.Al-Nawawi said: 'The two Sahihs differ from all other books only inrespect to the fact that what is in them is sahih and does not requireinvestigation.'

Ibn al-Salah said: 'Whatever only al-Bukhari or onlyMuslim narrates enters also into the category of what is definitely sahih.except a few letters which some of the expert critics objected to, such asal-Daraqutni and others - and these are known to the specialists.' He saidthis after stating that what they agree upon is 'definitely sahih'(maqtu'un bisih.h.atihi) for the Umma. Imam al-Nawawi objected to the terms'definitely sahih' while granting all that is in the Sahihayn thelevel of 'strongly presumed sahih until it becomes mutawatir'(yufidu al-zanna ma lam yatawatar) as is the rule with all sahih lone-narrated(ahad) hadiths. But Ibn Kathir differed: 'I am with Ibn al-Salah in hisconclusion and directives, and Allah knows best.'

Al-Suyuti in Tadribal-Rawi cites Ibn Kathir's words verbatim then states: 'And this is alsomy choice and none other.' This is because of the standing of the twoSahihs in the Umma and because none of the past Imams in Islam ever declaredexplicitly and rightly that all they had gathered in their respective books wassahih except al-Bukhari and Muslim, and the verifying experts have confirmedtheir claim.

Al-Suyuti also states:Shaykh al-Islam said: 'What al-Nawawi mentioned in Sharh Sahih Muslim isbased on the perspective of the majority (al-aktharin); as for that of theverifying authorities (al-muhaqqiqun), then no. For the verifying authoritiesalso agree with Ibn al-Salah.' By 'Shaykh al-Islam' al-Suyuti means the spotless Hafiz andimmaculate Imam Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani and his book al-Nukat 'ala Ibn al-Salah.Al-Suyuti goes on to quote in detail - mostly from Hadi al-Sari - therefutations of Ibn Hajar to al-Daraqutni's criticism, showing that, in effect,the latter fails to invalidate the view of the Sahihayn as 100% sahih.The fact is that they are all sahih but not all of them reach the same highdegree of sahih. This is in essence what al-Dhahabi concluded concerning thefew narrators of the Sahihayn whose grading was questioned: 'The narrationof one such as those, does not go below the rank of hasan which we might callthe lowest rank of the sahih.' Shaykh Abu Ghudda comments in the margin:'This is an explicit confirmation that al-Bukhari and Muslim did notconfine themselves, in the narrations of their respective books, only tonarrate hadiths that have the highest degree of sihha.' Then again in hisappendix (p.

144) he states:Our Shaykh, the 'Allama Ahmad Shakir - Allah have mercy on him - stated:'The truth without doubt among the verifiers of those who have knowledgeof the sciences of hadith. Is that the hadiths of the two Sahihs are allsahih and there is not in a single one of them a cause for true technicaldisparagement or weakness. What al-Daraqutni and others criticized is only onthe basis that it did not reach the high criterion which each of them definedin their respective books. As for the criterion of soundness (sihha) of thehadiths in themselves, then both of them lived up to it.Dr.

Badi' al-Sayyid al-Lahham in his edition of Ibn Kathir's al-Ba'ithal-Hathith (p. 44-45) also closes the discussion on the topic of the Sahihaynwith the same words but without attributing them to Shakir. Abu Ghuddaconcludes (p.

145): 'All these texts show that most of what is in Sahihal-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim is of the highest degree of the sahih, and thatsome of what is in them is not of the highest degree of the sahih.' Moreto the point, our teacher Dr. Nur al-Din 'Itr said in his manual Manhaj al-Naqdfi 'Ulum al-Hadith: 'The ruling concerning the hadiths of the two Sahihsis that they are all sahih.'

All those mentioned above - Ibn al-Salah,al-Nawawi, al-Dhahabi, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Hajar, al-Suyuti, Ahmad Shakir, AbuGhudda, 'Itr, al-Lahham - agreed on the fact that all of what is in al-Bukhariand Muslim is sahih, and, apart from al-Nawawi's duly recorded dissent, themuhaqqiqun such as Ibn al-Salah, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Hajar, and al-Suyuti considerall the hadiths contained in them maqtu'un bisihhatihi i.e. Of the sameprobative force as mutawatir hadith. Further examination of the positions ofthe major hadith Masters might add more names to this distinguished list.The questions are sometimes asked (1) whether all the Ulema of Hadith agreethat all the hadiths in al-Bukhari and Muslim are sahih or (2) if there are anyscholars who consider them to contain some weak narrations, and (3) whether onewho believes that 'the Sahihayn are not 100% sahih' is an innovator.As was just shown, some of the greatest hadith authorities such as Ibnal-Salah, Ibn Kathir, and al-Suyuti answered yes to the first question. Imamal-Haramayn (Ibn al-Juwayni) said that if a man swore on pains of divorce thatall that is in al-Bukhari and Muslim is sahih his marriage would be safe. ButImam al-Daraqutni said a small number may not reach that level so the answer tothe second question has to be yes.

Yet the objections were refuted one by oneby Ibn Hajar at the beginning of Fath al-Bari and Imam al-Nawawi at thebeginning of Sharh Sahih Muslim. The short formula 'whether the Sahihaynare or not 100% sahih' remains tenuous and misleading, for the Umma farand wide - meaning the Consensus of the Fuqaha' generation after generation -have been satisfied that they are.This conclusion excludes the chainless, broken-chained reports, or unattibutedreports sometimes adduced by al-Bukhari in his chapter-titles or appended tocertain narrations. An example of the latter is the so-called 'suicidehadith' - one of al-Zuhri's unattributive narrations (balaghat) which isactually broken-chained and therefore weak. It does not meet the criteria ofhadith authenticity used by the lesser and greater hadith Masters, much less thatof al-Bukhari who mentioned it only to show its discrepancy with two otherchains whose versions omit the attempted suicide story, and Allah knows best.The above conclusion is proof that the position that everything that is foundin the two Sahihs is rigorously sound refers only to full-chained reportspositively attributed to the Prophet,and Allah knows best.report anybroken links toCopyright © 1988-2012 irfi.org.
