In Defense of the Hadith ‘Allah has greated the soil…’

By: Dr. Saad Mohammed Al-Sheikh

The researcher has produced evidence to defend the authenticity of certain hadiths and their recitation. The enemies of Islam have succeeded in influencing some people and making them doubt the tradition of the prophet with the claim that it doesn’t correspond with reality and reason.

Throughout history, there have been people who defend the prophet’s tradition and therefore preserved the sequence of reference to the original narrators and secured the authenticity of the Hadiths.

The rules for narrating the Hadiths in an informed fashion have become the basis for the science of legislation. It is also, worth mentioning, that there is no discrepancy found between the Quran and the Hadiths as it is narrated by both Muslim and Ahmed. Consequently, the well-informed scholars who have mentioned and narrated the Hadiths cannot be treated in the same manner like the missionaries and orientalists or even like those who have claimed scholarship for the sake of personal gains. The first group is highly considered as a source of knowledge, while the latter is a group of benefitteers. It is now clear that this study is systematically and practically answering to those who have thrown doubt on the educated narration of authentic Hadiths.
