Salaam,
I am wondering about islam... and what is the meaning of the hadiths?
For example... which are we to follow? All of them? Some? Any?
I recently read some hadiths that say really weird things. I am confused. here is what I mean:
Bukhari:V4B54N52 “The Prophet said, ‘Kill the snake with two white lines on its back, for it blinds the onlooker and causes abortion.’”
and
Bukhari:V7B71N673 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If a fly falls in your drink, dip all of it into the cup and then throw it away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing, an antidote or treatment for that disease.’”
and one more here...
Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”
I am not a highly educated guy. But I think this stuff is (forgive me if i sin here) totally hard to understand.
Could these things be true? what do you all think? any opinions?
thanks everyone!
