Does Bukhari Explains the Quran?
The advocates of hadith are fond of saying that the hadith
explains the Quran without which, they say the Quran cannot be
understood. In other words without hadith they will have to reject the
Quran or at least ignore it. The scholars also say that the hadith they
call "Sahih Bukhary" is the best hadith.
It can be easily proved that the hadith does not in any way
explain the Quran and that the "Sahih Bukhari" is not worth the papers
it is printed on.
For evidence please refer to, and check all references of
"Sahih Al-Bukhary" by Dr. Muhammed Muhsin Khan, Islamic University,
Medina Al-Munawwara. Publisher "Kitab Bhavan, New Delhi, which is the
Nine volume encyclopedia. Vol. 6 of "Sahih Al-Bukhary" is devoted to
the explanation of the Quran (Tafsir). The other eight volumes
prescribe things like drinking camels urine to cure fevers (vol 7,
hadith no 590), burning people first and then their houses if they do
not go the mosque on time, (vol.1, hadith no.626), dreaming of
undressing women (vol 9, hadith no.139 and 140), using shoes to
garland camels (Vol 2, hadith no 763), and other such non-sense.
But let us focus on vol. 6: the explanation of the Quran by
Imam Bukhary. Although the Quran has 114 suras or chapters, Bukhari
does not explain all the verses in all the suras. Sura 2, Al Baqarah
has 286 verses, but Bukhari only provides hadith for about 50 verses.
This is slightly over 20% of Al Baqarah. Bukhari has left the Ulamma
groping the dark over the remaining 80%.
Sura AL Kauther (Sura 108) is the shortest sura in the
Quran, only 3 verses. However Bukhari "attempts" to explain the meaning
of just one word "Kauther" as sufficient to explain this whole Sura.
Bukhari says; "Kauther" is a river in heaven.
But simply, "Kauther" means "good in abundance".
(Translation by President of Islamic research, IFAT, Saudi Arabia).
This also suggests that Imam Bukhari did not know Arabic. It is a fact
that Bukhari was a Persian from Bukhara and his mother tongue was
Farsi. The scholars have no records to show when Bukhari learned
Arabic. More about this later.
The greatest surprise of all is that 28 suras of the Quran
are NOT "explained" at all. The sura numbers are as follows; 23, 27,
29, 35, 51, 57, 58, 64, 67, 69, 70, 73, 76, 81, 82, 86, 88, 89, 90, 94,
100, 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, and 109. Bukhari explains this away
as follows "no hadith were mentioned here."
According to the scholars only the Prophet is supposed to be
the source of the hadith. The hadith is supposed to explain the Quran.
The BIG question is, "Who went on un authorized holiday for 28 WHOLE
SURAS of the Quran ?!!!
The scholars insist that the hadith explains the Quran.
Hence the scholars have to do away with 28 SURAS of the Quran because
Bukhari did not explain these 28 SURAS..
Therefore the boast by the scholars that those who uphold
the QURAN ALONE and do NOT depend on the hadith at all, cannot
understand the Quran, falls FLAT on its face. The scholars are in a far
worse situation. 28 Suras are missing and none of the other suras are
explained in full by Bukhari.
To revert to the earlier point that the Persian Bukhari may
not have known Arabic, this is suggested by the way Bukhari has changed
the names of certain SURAS. By itself this is a strange phenomenon. The
scholars themselves do NOT know why Bukhary did this.
Non-Arabs sometimes refer to a Sura by its first verse. This
is because they may not have known the Arabic name for the SURA because
they are not scholars of the Quran or simply because they are not
Arabs. Bukhari displays the same characteristics.
Sura Al Naba (Sura 68) is labelled as Sura "Amma
yatasa'alun", this is actually part of the first verse of the sura..
Sura Al Baiyina (Sura 98) is labelled as Sura "Lam Yakun". Again the
beginning verses. Sura Al Takwir (Sura 81) is labelled Sura "Idhash
Shamsu Kuwirat". This is the start of the first verse again. Sura Al
Maarij (sura 70) is labelled Sura "Sa'ala Sa'ilun".
Some SURAS have been given two names. Sura Al Insan (Sura
76) is labelled Sura "Hal-Ata-insani" or Sura "Dahr".
But this is a revealing point because such labelling is more
akin to reciters who are not Arabs, who do not know the Arabic
language. Apart from the fact that Bukhari was Persian from Bukhara
many scholars believe that he was also blind. The next question is "WHO
WROTE the Sahih Bukhari?!" It will also be pertinent to see how Bukhari
handles some of the explanations of the verses-if and when he cares to
explain them.
For example some explanations end with a blank
space.: Vol 6, Hadith number 50 seeks to explain Sura 2:223. After some
narration it continues like this; Nafi' added regarding the verse:
"So go to your tilth when or how you will. Ibn Umar said; " It means
one should approach his wife in........" The explanation ends with a
blank space. But not to worry. A footnote completes the picture. The
footnote says "Al Bukhary left a blank space here because he was not
sure of what Ibn Umar had said !." And yet this called "Sahih
Al Bukhary" Perhaps this is why some scholars have much problems in
this
department.
department.
There is also one of the most foolish and incredible
explanation by Bukhari for Sura 11:5. The beautiful meaning of the
verse is actually :11:4 "To God is your return and He has power over
all things."
11:5 "Behold ! They fold up their hearts, that they may be
hid from him. Ah! Even when they cover themselves with their garments.
He knows what they conceal, and what they reveal. For He knows well the
(innermost secrets) of the hearts." 11:6 There is no moving creature on
earth but its substance depends on God; He knows its resting place and
its temporary deposit. All is in a clear Record." Translation by
Presidency of Islamic Research, IFTA, Saudi Arabia..
This meaning is crystal clear. We all answer to God. There
is nothing we can conceal from God. Every single thing that we do is in
a clear Record. "Kitaab-un Maubeen". So do not think you can hide
anything from God.
NOW, Here is Bukhari's ridiculous explanation of the same
verse in 11:5. Vol. 6 Hadith no. 203: Narrated Muhammed bin Abbad bin
Jaafar that he heard Ibn Abbas reciting: " No doubt! they fold up their
breasts." 11:5 and asked him about the explanation. He said, "Some
people used to hide themselves while answering the call of nature in an
open space lest they be exposed to the sky, so the above revelation was
sent down regarding them.
According to Bukhari, the whole purpose of this narration
was to tell the Sahaba that God could see them defecating and sleeping
in the desert!. According to Bukhari's logic then, after this verse was
revealed, the Sahaba who travelled with their wives in the desert lost
all their inhibitions, since God could see them anyway. No need to hide
anything.
Similarly Bukhari twists sura 5:87. To explain "5:87"
Bukhari first quotes it partially only, not in full, as follows : "O
you who believe DO NOT make unlawful the good things which God has made
for you" 5:87
The explanation by Bukhari (Vol.6 Hadith no. 139) is as
follows : Narrated Abdullah "We used to participate in holy wars
conducted by the prophet and we had no women with us. So, we said (to
the prophet) "Shall we castrate ourselves "? But the prophet forbade us
to do that and therefore he allowed us to marry a woman temporarily) by
giving her even a garment, and then the prophet recited. "O you who
believe ! Do not make unlawful for you...." There is a footnote
"Temporary marriage (Mut'a) was allowed in the early days of Islam.,
but later, at the time of the Khaibar Battle, it was prohibited (God
knows it better)."
The uncertainty in the footnote lends support to the fact
that this is an evil lie against God and the prophet by Bukhari.
Sura 5:87 is actually as follows : "O ye who believe, make
not unlawful for you, but commit no excess. For God loveth not those
given to excess."
Is prostitution an excess ? Worse than that it is an evil.
Which Muslim scholar will allow his daughter to receive "even a
garment" as a payment for temporarily servicing the lusts of some
Sahaba ? Note how the Bukhari has the sahaba coolly suggesting "Shall
we castrate ourselves ?" as though it is done every morning after
breakfast.
In Sura 24:33 God and the messenger told us: "Let those who
find not the means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until God gives
them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed
in writing, (for freedom) give them something yourselves out of the
means which God has given you. But force NOT your girls into
prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that you make a gain
in the goods of this life. If anyone compels them, (on them) God is
forgiving, Merciful."
In other words, do not look for sex outside marriage. If you
cannot marry, it is better to keep chaste. Control your lust. The
messenger said do not force anyone into prostitution, but instead
Bukhari says the messenger set the price for hanky panky at merely a
piece of garment. This is Bukhari's malicious lie against the
Messenger. In truth the messenger told his men to control their lusts :
Sura 24:30 "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze
and guard their modesty, that will be better purity for them, and God
knows all that they do."
If anyone insisted on following their lusts, the Messenger
would have told them " God doth wish to turn to you, but the wish of
those who follow their lusts is that you should turn away from them,
far away " Sura 4:27 (All translation from Presidency of Islamic
Research, IFTA- Saudi Arabia).
The Quran is crystal clear. But Bukhari says you can but a
woman for a price of cloth. Perhaps the scholars are gleeful at this
suggestion also.
Here is another hadith that has neither head nor tail, It is
started under "The book of the Virtues of the Quran". May God saves us.
Vol 6, hadith No 503. Narrated Valium Utham. "I was informed that
Gabriel came to the prophet while Um Salma was with him. Gabriel
started talking (to the prophet). Then the prophet asked Um Salma, "Who
is this ? " She replied "He is Dihya (Al Kalbi). When Gabriel had left
Um Salma said; "By God, I did not take him for anybody other than him (
i.e. Dihya) till I heard the sermon of the prophet wherein he informed
about the news of Gabriel." The subnarrator asked Utham: From whom
have you heard that ? Utham said "From Usama Binzaid". God sent Gabriel
with the revelations to be delivered to Muhammed. Therefore Gabriel
delivered the revelations to Muhammed. But here Bukhari says
the prophet did not know Gabriel had come to him. Instead he asks his
wife!!. Was the prophet's wife a Messenger also, such that she could
hear Gabriel? And she calls him strange names like Dihya and Al Kalbi.
There is some confusion. Is God that inefficient that His
angel Gabriel is called Dihya and Kalbi, all in the course of duty of
delivering revelations to His messenger Muhammed?
Let us see 2:97-98: "Say, who is an enemy to Gabriel for he
brings the revelation to thy heart by God's will, a confirmation of
what went before. And Guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.
Who ever is an enemy to God and His angels and prophets, to Gabriel and
Michael, Lo..! God is an enemy to those who reject faith."
Gabriel brings the revelation straight into the prophet's
heart (alaiqa Qalbika bi idhnillah) with God's permission. But Bukhary
says Gabriel just started talking and the Prophet did not know who it
was. He had to ask his wife...!
"Verily this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
With it came the truthful spirit (Ruhil Kudus) to thy heart that thou
mayest admonish, in the perspicuous Arabic tongue" 26:192-195
Gabriel brought the revelation straight to the Prophet's
heart. But Bukhari says the prophet had to ask his wife of Gabriel:
"WHO IS THIS?"
It is easy to refute the Christian argument by referring to
his own Bible. In a similar way the "muslim" scholar who insists on
giving eminence to fabricated hadith can be countered by referring to
his own books written by the hands of their leaders like Imam Bukhari,
without God's permission.
In Sura Al Baqarah, God says: Therefore woe to those who
distort the scripture with their own hands then say; "This is from God"
Seeking a cheap gain. Woe to them for distorting the scripture, and woe
to them for their illicit earnings."
As stated earlier the hadith of Bukhari is not worth the
paper it is printed on. By following such ludicrous hadith which
clearly taint the good name of the Prophet Muhammed, the Muslims have
been lost for over 1000 years now. They can only recall the glorious
days of the Prophet. Little do they realize that during the glorious
days there was no hadith. There was only the Quran.
God is Great.
