Now let us
expose Suyyuti’s shocking and self-contradicting statements which he tried to
disguise as truths in his book so that the reader will have the conclusive
proof that our commentary on Suyyuti is not based on harboring any ill feelings
towards him or his supporters:
As for his
(Suyyuti’s) statement, “Verily Ibn Hibban talked of Zakariyyah in
his book "Al Thiqaat" (*)”:
Then yes that
is accepted but then he (Ibn Hibban) is from those who dont consider him
worthy of being authentic because the criticisms against Zakariyyah are many
from the greatest of the Sunni Ulama.
Ibn Adi
said: Verily He (Zakariyyah) fabricated hadith
Saalih
Jazrah said: Verily He (Zakariyyah) is from the Liars
Ibn Younus
also declared the same and called him Daeef even after complimenting him!
(*) We need to clarify one thing that when
Ibn Hibban mentioned Zakariyyah in his "Al Thiqaat", he said in his
entry/interpretation:
"He
Faulters and Transgresses/dissents (from truth) and gave the evidence /
attestation (with regards to him) that: Faulters in the Hadith of Musa
(a.s)...."
So how can he
(ibn hibban) consider him (zakariyyah) correct (in hadith)
when he bears witness to the opposite in his very own words!
And Al
Dhahabi said in "Al Meezan" that:
«زكريّا بن
يحيى المصري، أبو يحيى الوقار [ عن ابن وهب فمن بعده ; قال ابن عدي: يضع
الحديث، كذّبه صالح جزره، قال صلح: حدثنا زكريا الوقار ]. وكان
من الكذّابين الكبار ; وقال ابن يونس: كان فقيهاً
صاحب حلقة، عاش ثمانين سنة، وقيل: كان من الصلحاء العباد
الفقهاء، نزح عن مصر أيّام محنة القرآن إلى طرابلس المغرب ; ضعّفه
ابن يونس وغيره»
"Zakariyyah
bin Yahyah al Misri, Abu Yahya al Waqaar [from Ibn Wahab and so after him: Ibn
Adi said: Forged Hadith, Saalih al Jazri declared him Liar.
Saalih said: Narrated to us Zakariyyah al Waqaar.] and He was from the greatest
of Liars! And Ibn Younus said: He was a Faqeeh, a Fake Man, Lived
for 80 years and (there is) a saying: (He is) from the Good Fuqaha (Jurists),
migrated from Egypt to Tripoli in the west in the days of disaster/affliction
(for quran); Ibn Younus and others all declared him Daeef (Weak).

And as for
his (Suyuti's) approval / authentication of Abi Qatadah:
It should be
enough to know that he (Abi Qatadah) is noted as a most untrustworthy,
abandoned, weak and unrelied upon person by the greatest of the Sunni Imams of
Hadith and ilm al Rijaal:
البخاري قال:
إنّهم سكتوا عنه، وقال أيضاً: تركوه، وقال أبو زرعة والدارقطني:
ضعيف، وقال يعقوب بن إسماعيل: إنّه يكذب،
وقال أبو حاتم: ذهب حديثه، وقال الجوزجاني:
إنّه
متروك،
وقال ابن حبّان: إنّه لا يجوز الاحتجاج بخبره، ولم
يخرّج أصحاب الصحاح كافة له شيئاً
“And the
best of them, Al Bukhari said: reduce/subside from him
and Al
Bukhari also said: Abandon/drop/leave him.
Al Zara3a
and Al Darulqutni said: Daeef (Weak) !
And Yaqoob
bin Ismaeel said: Verily He Lied!
And Abu
Haatim said: Leave his Hadith!
And Al
Jowzjaani said: Verily he is Matrook (Abandoned)
And Ibn
Hibban said: Verily it is not permitted to represent (any religious argument)
on basis of his reports, and the authors of the Al-Sihah never took anything at
all from him!”

And as for
his (Suyyuti's) authentication of Abu Qatada by Ibn Ma3een for this cursed
liar:
Then no one
with a sober mind and firm intellect can reach this opinion. Because He (Ibn
Ma3een) said once already with victorious firmness / finality and sureness /
certainty:
إنّه ليس بشيء
"Verily
he is Nothing"
And (then) he replied phrases of criticism with the criticizers and with that he said at another place:
إنّه ليس به
بأس كثير الغلط
"Verily with him is nothing good, (he is) abundant / plentiful in mistakes"

in order to make the narrations look authentic!) and God knows best.
5- Al Duafa
wal Matrookeen by Ibn al Jawzi Vol.2, P.145 Entry no.2136
As for
Suyyuti's fictitious words that "besides" Ahmad bin Hanbal and Yahya,
Suyyuti "others" authenticate Ibn Waqid as well; this is merely a
plain lie and empty plea of a biased person who is unable to digest defeatist,
because all the known books of ilm al rijaal have already very clearly
explained the opposite in detail.
Here again, I
present, the words of Al Dhahabi on this person from his infamous Meezan al
Eitadal:
«عبد الله بن
واقد، أبو قتادة الحراني، مات سنة عشر ومائتين ; قال البخاري: سكتوا
عنه، وقال أيضاً: تركوه ;
وقال أبو زرعة والدارقطني: ضعيف ; وقال أبو
حاتم: ذهب حديثه ; وروى عبد الله بن
أحمد، عن ابن معين: ليس بشيء، وروى الدولابي، عن
عباس، عن يحيى: ليس بشيء، وقال أيضاً: ليس
به بأس، كثير الغلط.
وقال
الجوزجاني: متروك
وقال ابن
حبّان: كان أبو قتادة من عباد الجزيرة فغفل عن الاتقان، فوقعت
المناكير في أخباره، فلا يجوز أن يحتج بخبره
"Abdullah
bin Waqid, Abu Qatada al Harrani, died in the year 210 A.H;
Bukhari
said: reduce/subside from him; and also he said: Abandon/drop/leave him.
Al Zara3a
and Al Darulqutni said: Daeef (Weak) !
And Abu
Haatim said: Leave his Hadith!
And
Abdullah bin Ahmed narrated from Ibn Ma3een: He is Nothing
And Al
Dowlaabi narrated from Abbas who reported from Yahya: He is Nothing
And he
also said: With him is nothing good, Abundantly/Plentifully Wrong
And Al
Jowzjaani said: Matrook (Abandoned)
And Ibn
Hibban said: Abu Qatada was from the men of al Jazeerah, he overlooked (was
forgetful) about perfection/accuracy and in his reports fall in the category of
the disowned/rejected ones so it is Not permissible to justify arguments using
them.”
Then Al
Dhahabi narrates a number of traditions narrated by Abu Qatadah including one
which is narrated from Thawri who narrates from Hisham from his father from
Aisha...and then declares at the end that:
حدّثناه محمّد
بن العباس الدمشقي بجرجان، ثنا عبد الله بن ثابت بن حسان الهاشمي الحراني، ثنا أبو
قتادة ; قلت: هذا حديث موضوع مهتوك الحال ما أعتقد أنّ أبا
قتادة رآه.
"This
hadith is a forged one, degraded/disgraceful in nature because Abu Qatadah
narrated it"
ثمّ وجدت له
اسناد آخر عنه رواه الطبراني: عن عبد الله بن سعيد البرقي، عن أحمد بن أبي شيبة
الرهاوي، عن أبي قتادة فهو الافة.
And
al-Dhahabi says: This (hadith) has also reached me through another chain of
narration from him (Abu Qatada) through Al-Tabarani on authority of abdullah
bin saeed al barqi from Ahmed bin Abi Sheebah al Rahaawi from Abu Qatadah who
is an Aafat!!
أبو خيثمة
مصعب بن سعيد، ثنا عبد الله بن واقد، ثنا حيوة بن شريح، عن بكر بن عمرو، عن مشرح،
عن عقبة بن عامر، قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم): (لو لم اُبعث فيكم
لبعث فيكم عمر) ولم يخرجوا لابي
قتادة شيئاً
Abu Khuzayma Mus3ab bin Saeed (the author of Sahih al Khuzayma) says that: I heard Abdullah bin Waqid, who heard Haywah bin Shareeh on authority of Bakar bin Umro on authority of Mashrah on authority of Aamir who said the Prophet of Allah (s) said: If I had not been commissioned amongst you as an apostle/prophet, Umar would have been- and (Al-Dhahabi adds) NEVER TAKE FROM ABU QATADA ANYTHING!"
Sunni
Reference: Meezan al
Eitadal by Al-Dhahabi Vol.4, P.219 Entry no.4676
What an
exquisite moment this is. Surely truth is manifest openly for any truth seeker
to witness here. Both Ibn Ma3een and Al-Dhahabi have flatly rejected Abu Qatada
and refused to accept him as anything besides calling his hadiths “forged”.
Suyyuti
quoted Yahya bin Ma3een and others for authenticating this Liar (Abu Qatada)
and We have now clearly read the detailed analysis of al Dhahabi with the
verdicts of scholars before him (including Yahya ibn Ma3een) and then finally
Dhahabi himself; where not a single word has he written to honor him with any
authenticity. Now the reader can himself see how truthful Suyyuti has been in
quoting those "and others" who have allegedly
"authenticated" Abu Qatada while his own master Dhahabi disagrees
with him vehemently and openly accuses Abu Qatada of manufacturing and forging
false Hadiths in the name of the Holy Prophet (s).
Suyyuti did
not even realise that he tried to distort the facts on authority of a book /
author which is very well known. We are however certain that he knew all these
facts but deliberately hid them from the eyes of the ordinary people and made
the lies to promote this fabricator as perfect in order to please his political
masters.
The double
standards of Suyyuti can also be fathomed from the fact that the very same
hadith (which tabarani took from aisha as mentioned by al dhahabi above) is
also mentioned in the same fashion by Suyyuti in his book "Al-la'laai
al Masnoo3a" with the same addition (on authority of al-dhahabi) in
the end that this Hadith is reached through Abu Qatada who is an Aafat (wrong/harmful) !!
The respected
reader may check this below as extracted from Suyyuti’s book in question where
he clearly says that his Imam Al Dhahabi has declared this Hadith as a forged
and disgraceful and that he has said its also mentioned by al Tabarani and
contains the narrator Abu Qatada who is an Aafat (wrong/harmful)!!:
حيث قال في
اللالئ المصنوعة، في مناقب أهل البيت (عليهم السلام) عند ذكر هذا الحديث:
«ابن حبّان،
أنبأ محمّد بن العبّاس الدمشقي، ثنا عبد الله بن ثابت بن حسان الهاشمي، ثنا عبد
الله بن واقد أبو قتادة الحراني، عن سفيان الثوري، عن هشام بن عروة، عن أبيه، عن
عائشة: (إنّ النبيّ (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) كان كثيراً ما يقبل نحر فاطمة
(عليها السلام)، فقلت: يا رسول الله أراك تفعل شيئاً لم تفعله قال: أو ما علمت يا
حميراء أنّ الله عزّ وجلّ لمّا أسرى بي إلى السماء أمر جبرئيل فأدخلني الجنّة،
ووقفني على شجرة ما رأيت أطيب منها رائحة، ولا أطيب ثمراً، فأقبل جبرئيل يفرك
ويطعمني، فخلق الله في صلبي منها نطفة، فلمّا صرت إلى الدنيا واقعت خديجة، فحملت
بفاطمة كلّما اشتقت إلى رائحة تلك الشجرة شممت نحر فاطمة، فوجدت رائحة تلك الشجرة
منها، وإنّها ليست من نساء أهل الدنيا، ولا تعتال كما تعتلّ أهل الدنيا) عبد الله
بن واقد متروك، قلت: قال الذّهبي في الميزان: هذا الحديث موضوع مهتوك الحال، ما
أعتقد أنّ أبا قتادة رواه، قال: ثمّ وجدت له إسناداً آخر عنه رواه الطبراني: عن
عبد الله بن سعيد الرقي، عن أحمد بن أبي شيبة، عن
أبي قتادة، فهو الافة، والله أعلم»).

After reading
such blatant contradictions of Suyyuti, I can only say, May Allah protect us
from such combination of Asabiyyah (sectarian prejudice) and Ghulu (extremism
in promoting some personality). His advances to protect the greatest liars and
manufacturers of Hadiths have been defaced from the very authorities he himself
considers authentic and masters and imams in hadith and ilm al jerah wal
ta3deel.
