Commonly narrated fabricated hadiths

[Saad]

Assalam o alaykum,

It was narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him):

“The Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Do not tell lies about me. Whoever tells lies about me, let him enter the Fire.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, 106).

Narrated Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): I heard the Holy Prophet saying,

"Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire." (Sahih al-Bukhari, 109).

This thread is for posting commonly mentioned fabricated (mawdu') hadiths that are narrated in lectures or books, etc.

Note: Make sure to give proper reference.

One such fabrication is common in Urdu language

”اے میرے بندے! ایک تیری چاہت ہے اور ایک میری چاہت ہے، اگر تو میری چاہت پر اپنی چاہت کو قربان کردے تو میں تیری چاہت میں تیری کفایت کروں گا اور ہوگا وہی جو میں چاہوں گا۔ اور اگر تو میری چاہت پر اپنی چاہت کو قربان نہ کرے‘ تو میں تم کو تیری چاہت میں تھکا دونگا اور ہوگا وہی جو میں چاہوں گا“۔

Translation is :

"O my slave, there is your intention, and there is my intention , if you sacrifice your intentions over mine, then I will help in your intentions, and only that what is my intention will happen. And if you do not sacrifice your intentions over mine, then I will tire you in pursuit of what you intend... and only that will happen what I like."


Just to add, there are different versions of this fabrication , this is the shortest one. Read the Article above for research over it. I've been in pursuit of this fabrication since 2000, when it became popular with the song of a Pakistani Singer "Jawwad Ahmad".

[Ahmad_shakeel]

by Imam Lukhnawi,

منها ما يذكره الوعاظ من أن النبي كان عالما بالقرآن بتمامه وتاليا له من حين ولادته وإن معنى قوله ما أنا قارئ في جواب قول وجبريل له عند بدء الوحي اقرأ علي ما ورد في صحيح البخاري وغيره إني لا أقرأ بأمرك فإني عالم به وقارئ من قبل هذا فرية بلا مرية تكذبها الآيات القرآنية والأخبار النبوية منها ما يذكرونه من أنه لم يكن أميا بل كان قادرا على الكتابة والتلاوة من ابتداء الفطرة وهذا قول مخالف للكتاب والسنة بل وإجماع الأمة فلا عبرة به عند أرباب الفطنة ومنها ما يذكرونه عند ذكر حسن

"One of them is what is mentioned by the sermonizers that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) knew the whole Qur’an and recited it from his birth. As far as his saying ‘I am not a reader’ in the response of Gabriel (may the peace of Allah be upon him) at the time of first revelation which is narrated by Sahih Bukhari and others, it means (according to these sermonizers): I (the Prophet) will not read with your order as I know it already and recite it regularly. This is no doubt fabrication rejected by the Qur’anic verses and Prophetic traditions. Also, they say that he was not illiterate; rather he was able to write and recite by nature. This is also opposed to the Qur’an, Sunnah and even the unanimity (Ijma) of the Ummah; therefore it has no significance in the eyes of the intelligentsia."

Imam 'Abd al-Hay Lukhnawi (may Allah have mercy on him) writes at another place in Al-Athar al-Marfu’a,

الآثار المرفوعة ج:1 ص:42
وقال أيضا قبل ذلك بأوراق عديدة أما ما ذكر من أن الله قبض من نور وجهه قبضة ونظر إليها فعرقت وذلقت فخلق الله من كل نقطة نبيا وإن القبضة كانت هي النبي وإنه كان كوكبا دريا وإن العالم كله خلق منه وإنه كان موجودا قبل أن يخلق أبواه وإنه كان يحفظ القرآن قبل أن يأتيه جبريل وأمثال هذه الأمور فقال الحافظ أبو العباس أحمد بن تيمية في فتاويه ونقله الحافظ ابن كثير في تاريخه وأقره كل ذلك كذب مفترى باتفاق أهل العلم بحديثه انتهى

“As far as what is mentioned that Allah Most High picked up a handful from the light of Himself and cast a look at it, so it perspired and dropped, so Allah created out of every drop a prophet. The handful was the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), he was like a brilliant star and the entire world was created out of it. He was present before his parents were born and he committed the Qur’an to his memory before Gabriel came to him and so on. Hafiz Abul Abbas Ahmad bin Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in his Fatawa and Hafiz ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) in his History that all these things are fabricated lies according to all scholars.”

['Abdullaah]

Taken from here. May be compiled by a person you don't agree with, but I suppose better to avoid narrating these ahadeeth unless proven otherwise.

Some of the hadeeth below are labeled fabricated/baseless, and some are very weak. I am posting them both as Mufti Husain sahab says that the ruling is the same for them when it comes to quoting them.

Compiled by Shaykh Ihsan Al-`Utaibi (May Allah preserve him)

12 - Whoever sleeps after 'Asr and loses his mind should blame none but himself. Ibn Al-Jawzi mentioned it in his book of fabricated traditions "Al-Mawdo'at" (3/69), and Al-Suyuti in "Al-La'ali' Al-Masnoo'a" (2/279), and Al-Dhahabi in "Tarteeb Al-Mawdoo'at" (839)

16 - Disagreement amongst my Ummah is a mercy. Fabricated "Al-Asrar Al-Marfoo'a" (506), "Tanzeeh Al-Sharee'a" (2/402), and Al-Albani said: it is baseless "Al-Da'eefa" (11)

17 - My Companions are like the stars; whichever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided, and in another narration: My Companions are like the stars; whichever of them you take his opinion, you will be rightly guided. Ibn Hazm said: a fabricated void false tradition, that was never found to be authentic "Al-Ihkaam fee Usool Al-Ahkaam" (5/64), and (6/82). Al-Albani said: Fabricated "Al-Da'eefa" (66), and see also "Jami' Bayan Al-Ilm wa Fadlih" by ibn Abdilbar (2/91)

18 - He, who knows himself, knows his Lord. Fabricated "Al-Asrar Al-Marfoo'a" (506), "Tanzeeh Al-Sharee'a" (2/402), and "Tazkirat Al-Mawdoo'at" (11)

32 - One Hour of Contemplation is better than Sixty years of Worship. Fabricated; "Tanzeeh Al-Sharee'a" (2/305), "Al-Fawaid Al-Majmoo'a" (723), and "Tarteeb Al-Mawdoo'at" (964)

37 - If not for you (O Muhammad!) I would not have created this World (dunia). Fabricated; "Al-Lo'lo' Al-Marsuu' " by Al-Mishmishi (454), "Tarteeb Al-Mawdoo'at" (196), and "Al-Da'eefa" (282)

63 - 'O Jibreel, describe for me the Fire, and tell me about Hell. So Jibreel said: Allah Ta'ala fanned jahannam (Hell) for a thousand years until its color turned red. Thereafter he fanned it for a thousand years until its color turned white. He then fanned it for another thousand years until it turned black in color. So it is absolutely black… [Long hadith]. Fabricated; "Al-Haythami" (10/387), and "Al-Da'eefa" (910)

66 - The Substitutes (Al-Abdaal) in this Community (Ummah) are thirty like Ibrahim the Friend of the Merciful. Every time one of them dies, Allah substitutes another one in his place. Fabricated; "Al-Asraar Al-Marfoo'a" by Ali Al-Qari (470), "Tameez Al-Tayib min Al-Khabeeth" by ibn Al-Dayba' (7), and "Al-Manaar Al-Maneef" by ibn Al-Qayim (308)

71 - The (evil) gaze is a (poisonous) arrow from the arrows of Iblis (Satan). He that abstains from it out of my fear, I will grant him in return such Imaan (faith), the sweetness of which he will experience within his heart. Very weak; "Al-Targheeb wa Al-Tarheeb" by Al-Munziri (4/106), "Majma' Al-Zawai'd" by Al-Haythami (8/63), and "Talkhees Al-Mustadrak" by Al-Dhahabi (4/314)

78 - Love of this world (dunia) is the root of all evil. Fabricated; "Ahadeeth Al-Qasaas" by ibn Taymiyah (7), "Al-Asraar Al-Marfoo'a" (1/163), and "Tazkirat Al-Mawdoo'at" (173)

80 - Everything has a bride, and the bride of the Quran is Surah Al Rahman. Rejected (Munkar); "Al-Da'eefa" (1350)

85 - The grip (the treatment) of the Angel of Death is harder/harsher than thousand strikes of a sword. Very Weak; "Tarteeb Al-Mawdoo'at" by Al-Dhahabi (1071), and "Al-Mawdoo'at" by ibn Al-Jawzi (3/220)

90 - Do not let water be the last of your meal. Baseless; "Al-Da'eefa" (2096)

91 - Truly, hearts rust just as iron rusts, and their polishing is Istighfar (seeking forgiveness). Fabricated; "Zakherat Al-Hufaz" (2/1978), and "Al-Da'eefa" (2242)

92 - We have come back from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad. Baseless; "Al-Asraar Al-Marfoo'a" (211), and "Tazkirat Al-Mawdoo'at" by Al-Fitni (191)

94 - `Abd Ar-Rahman Ibn `Awf enters Paradise crawling. Fabricated; "Al-Manaar Al-Maneef" by ibn Al-Qayim (306), and "Al-Fawaid Al-Majmoo'a" by Al-Shawkani (1184)

And Allaah knows best.

[Usman]

17 - My Companions are like the stars; whichever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided, and in another narration: My Companions are like the stars; whichever of them you take his opinion, you will be rightly guided. Ibn Hazm said: a fabricated void false tradition, that was never found to be authentic "Al-Ihkaam fee Usool Al-Ahkaam" (5/64), and (6/82). Al-Albani said: Fabricated "Al-Da'eefa" (66), and see also "Jami' Bayan Al-Ilm wa Fadlih" by ibn Abdilbar (2/91)

This hadith is accepted by most scholars. Read for a detailed explanation why this hadeeth is Sahih by Mufti Ebrahim Desai

http://www.al-inaam.com/dhadith/qna/companionstars.htm

Also the site you pasted is not a reliable resource,

Secondly, Albani is not a reliable resource. He had shiddat/prejudice in his works.

Thirdly , Dha'eef does not mean "Fabricated", Maudhoo means "Fabricated".

Albani Rahimahullah's major problem was that he never looked into the saying of the fuqahaa. That's because his major inspiration was the words of Indian Ghair Muqallid scholars "Nawab Siddique Hassan Qannoji" and his students, which was refuted back then by Maulana Abdul Hayee Lucknowi Rahimahullah.

This hadeeth is Hasan li ghairyihi , and according to some ulama Hasan Li'dhatihi. Meaning , although the chain of narrations is not strong enough, but the subject and the number of narrations, and above all, the ta'mul of Ummah upon it makes it Saheeh.

['Abdullaah]

@ br. Usman,

1. The ahadeeth posted have been classified as what they are not only by Sheikh Albani (rah), but others as well.
2. I have already mentioned why I have posted both fabricated and 'very weak' (not just 'weak') ahadeeth in my post. Please read the second paragraph of the previous post.

[maneatinglizard]

Not just that Hadith, but a lot of the Ahadith on that list are considered safe to relate by a lot of scholars.

[Ahmad_shakeel]

Not just that Hadith, but a lot of the Ahadith on that list are considered safe to relate by a lot of scholars.

Substantiate... tackle every that hadith with proper proofs that u think many others have accepted and no hollow claims...

[Zubair]

Hafidh Ibn al-Jawzi, Shaykh Albani, even Imam ibn Taymiyya can't be taken for their words alone.

Regarding The abdal hadith, Hafidh Sakhawi says regarding one particular chain after quoting, "The Budala' are in Sham, and they're 40 men, every time one of them dies, another is replaced in his place... "the men are from the Sahih narrators, except for Shurayh, he is thiqa" What supports the hadith of Abdal are the statements of scholars who used it, from the time of salaf, from them Imam Shafi'i, Imam Ahmed, Imam Bukhari. Another hadith in Sunan Abi Dawud mentions 'Abdal us Sham أبدال ‏ ‏الشام

One saying i've heard, and is very famous is, "the scholars of my Ummah are like the Prophets of Bani Isra'il", Hafidh Sakhawi says, "our Shaykh (ibn Hajar) and those before him, Damiri and Zakarakshi, 'It has no basis.
