Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

  Many fabricated accounts were transmitted by liars concerning the noble Companions, the Successors, and those who came after them. Most of those who transmitted these accounts were narrators from various sects and schools of thought, and most of them combined lying about Rasūlullāh sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam  with lying about other people. I have counted about thirty such lying narrators, some of whom I will mention below. Regarding those who lied about the Companions, there is a well-known group that specialises in lying about them and defaming them. Among them are the poet Sayyid al-Himyari al-Shi'i, Mina ibn Abi Mina, Abu al-Jarud Ziyad ibn al-Mundhir al-Kufi, Abu Muhammad ibn Khurash, Ahmad al-Juwaybari, and Ibn Tamim al-Sa'di. Those who lied about ‘Ali radiyallahu 'anhu  and the Ahl al-Bayt radiyallahu 'anhum  were numerous, most of them Shia. Among them were Abbad ibn Abdullah al-Asadi, al-Harith ibn Abdullah al-Awar al-Hamdani, Muhammad ibn al-Sa’ib al-Ka...

A person had come. His name was Rashid al-Kindi. Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu saw him and said, "O Rasul of Allah, this person speaks ill of us." Hearing this, Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam scolded the man very severely. He said, "Sire, I do not say anything to him, but I speak disparagingly about Mu'awiyah."       Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, "Destruction be for you. Is he not my Sahabi?" Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said this thrice. Then Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam took an iron rod, handed it over to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah radiyallahu 'anhu and said, "Strike him hard." H...

1.     Name: Abū Mikhnāf Lūṭ bin bin Yaḥyā bin Sa’īd bin Mikhnaf bin Sulaym 1.     Residence: Kufa, the city in which the tree of Shiasm grew very strongly. Abū Mikhnaf Lūṭ bin Yaḥyā grew up in the cradle of Shiasm, and his family was well known for their Shia-related activities. 2.     Beliefs: Abū Mikhnaf Lūṭ bin Yaḥyā’s Shiasm is a point of agreement between the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jamā’ah and the Shia. His narrations clearly indicate this. 3.     Statements of the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jamā’ah ‘Ulamā’ on Abū Mikhnaf: The ḥadīth scholars have reached consensus that Abū Mikhnaf is weak, nay, he must be left out. ▶      Abū Ḥātim said ra ḥ imahull ā h , “Abū Mikhnaf is matrūk al-ḥadīth .” ▶      Ibn Ma’īn ra ḥ imahull ā h said, “ Laysa bi Thiqah , i.e. he is not trustworthy.” ▶      Ibn Ma’īn ra ḥ imahull ā h was asked, “Is Abū Mikhnaf like ‘Amr bin Shamr?” He ...
