Questions arisen out of Hadith "Sahih Al-Bukhari"
Does Mohammed say that a woman isn't as smart as a man?
<b>Mohammed asked some women, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?" The women said, "yes," He said, "This is because of the deficiency of the woman's mind. " Vol. 3:826</b>
<b>"I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you." Vol. 2:541</b>
The Majority of people in hell are women?
<b>"I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women. " Vol. 1:28, 301; Vol. 2:161; Vol. 7:124</b>
Women are harmful to men?
<b>"After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women." Vol. 7:33</b>)OK I agree with that one. :P
Do all prophets have such sexual proweress?
<b>"The prophet used to visit all his wives in an hour round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the prophet the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the prophet was given the strength of thirty (men). " Vol. 1:268</b>
What about assurance of salvation? Christians rest assured in their relationship with God because of the work of Christ. It seems that even Mohammed didn't know of his salvation.
<b>"By Allah, though I am the apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me." Vol. 5:266</b>
God punishes the dead if the their relatives weep?
<b>"The deceased is punished because of the weeping of his relatives." Vol. 2:375</b>
If you speak badly against somebody they will go to hell?
<b>"You praised this, so Paradise has been affirmed to him, and you spoke badly of this, so hell has been affirmed to him. You people are Allah's witnesses on earth." Vol. 2:448</b>
Urine on your clothes will bring damnation?
<b>"The deceased person is being tortured in the grave not for a great thing to avoid, it is for being soiled with his urine. " Vol. 2:460</b>
Holy War Fighting is a one way ticket to Paradise?
<b>"The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostle, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to paradise (if he is killed). " Vol. 1:35</b> (So as a side note, did not Mohammed himself fight in a Holy War? Then how come he had no assurance? I guess because he didn't die in battle? Therefore wouldn't it better to die in battle, for all to die in battle rather then win and live and face possible damnation later in life?
Drinking camel urine makes one healthy?
<b>"The prophet ordered them to follow his camels, and drink their milk and urine , so they followed the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy." Vol. 7:590</b>
Huh?
<b>"If a housefly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease. " Vol. 4:537</b>
I think we can safely say that this is false...
<b>"As for the child, if the man's discharge precedes the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity of the man, and if the woman's discharge precedes the man's, then the child attracts the similarity of the woman." Vol. 5:275</b>
Shoe law?
<b>Mohammed said, "If you want to put on your shoes, put on the right shoe first, and if you want them off, take the left one first." Vol. 7:747</b>
Don't breath in your cup!
<b>Mohammed said, "Don't breath into your drinking utensil." Vol. 1:156</b>
We all know what causes an eclipse.
<b>Mohammed said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse because of the death of someone but Allah frightens His devotees with them. " Vol. 2:158</b>
Yawning is from satan?
<b>The prophet said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of yuo (during the act of yawning) should say: "Ha", Satan will laugh at him." Vol. 2:158</b>
