I am not asking you to defend the tenets of Shiaism. I just had questions that I thought you could help answer. Jazak Allah. I know that Abu Huraira was specifically picked out by the Prophet to remember his sunnah and tell others. After being given this job, Abu Huraira came to the Prophet complaining that he was having a difficult time remembering all of the sunnah. The Prophet laid Abu Huraira's cloak upon the ground and cupped his hands and then made a dropping motion over the cloak as if he was dumping something on it. He then gathered up the cloak and gave it back to Abu Huraira. He then states that after that time he never forgot any of the sunnah that he observed from the Prophet. (If I have made a mistake, please someone correct me so misinformation does not spread.)
I am also curious as to how there could be two sahih versions of a hadith that tell of two different things? This is confusing.
I am also confused by you saying that you are shia for historical reasons. Does that mean your family is shia or that you like their version of history or I don't know what?
Jazak Allah for responding
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
