To what extent are the mentioned hadiths, which are being spread by an enemy of Islam, authentic? Is refuting him by denying them correct? And what is the appropriate response to this person?
We have examined the doubts raised by the Christians and found that the narrations they cited are either fabricated or taken out of context to disparage the Prophet, peace be upon him. This can be clarified as follows:
(1) The hadith "And would a queen bestow herself upon commoners?": The woman did not intend to disrespect the Prophet, and her statement was a relic of the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era).
(2) The report of insulting the Prophet's honor in Ibn Hisham's Sira: This is a fabrication and has no basis.
(3) Aisha's hadith, "By God, I think you wish for my death": The Prophet's perfect masculinity is a virtue, and the context of the report pertained to appointing Abu Bakr to lead the prayer.
(4) The hadith "Indeed, Islam began as something strange and will return as something strange": This does not indicate the end of Islam but rather the increase of evil. Other hadiths point to the elevation of Islam and the triumph of Muslims.
(5) The hadith "Face the Qibla with my posterior": This is not authentic and is attributed to Aisha [i.e., a saying of hers, not the Prophet's]. Even if it were authentic, there is no fault in it.
(6) The hadith "Whoever has intercourse with an animal, there is no hadd punishment for him": This is a statement by Ibn Abbas and does not imply the permissibility of this heinous act. Rather, it means that the prescribed hadd punishment for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is not applied to him, though he is subject to disciplinary punishment (ta'zir).
(7) The danger of the tongue to religions is greater than the danger of the hands. Reviling the Messenger and harming him is apostasy from Islam, which necessitates execution.
(8) The statement that Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him, is the god of Islam: This is a lie and a slander.
We advise you to diligently seek beneficial knowledge and be wary of visiting websites that promote doubts.
