The Shi'a rejection of the Sahah Sittah



These adherents of Mu'awiya declare right at the beginning:

Islamzine.com states:
Shi'ism and Islam are indeed different religions. The divergence of Shi'ism from Islam can be summarized from the books which they consider most authentic, and the statements of their most respected scholars. Some of the 'proofs' available to support this position are as follows:


There is NO requirement in Islam to believe in Sahih Bukhari, Muslim etc. As the Minhajj have taken offence to the comments let is look at some of these hadith, and then we leave it to those with open minds to conclude whether these are true words / deeds or folk tales, we present seven hadith for our readers perusal:

Narrated Abu Hurayra (RA): The Prophet (s) said, "The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all Together) looking at each other. The prophet Moses (RA) used to take bath, alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from talking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So, once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with the clothes. Moses followed the stone saying, "My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! Till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone." Abu- Hurayra added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from the beating."
"Sahih Bukhari" Volume. (1) Book (5): Bathing, Chapter (21): Taking bath in seclusion & completely naked

Do our readers believe this type of rubbish? The dash of the stone with the clothes of Moses and the sprint of Moses (nude) after it is such a fabricated story that no rational mind is ready to accept it. This hadith can only best be described as a fable, narrated by Abu Hurayra it cannot be a hadith of The Holy Prophet (s).

Thus this is clearly a fabricated Hadith, that has clearly been based on folk lore.

"Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: While Allah's Apostle (s) was carrying stones (along) with people of Mecca for (the building of) the Kaaba wearing an Izar (waist-sheet cover), his uncle Al-'Abbas said to him, "O my nephew! (it would be better) if you take off your Izar and put it over your shoulders underneath the stones". So he took off his Izar and put it over his shoulders, but he fell unconscious and since then he had never been seen naked".
"Sahih al Bukhari" Volume. (I). Book (8): "The book of Salat (Prayers)" Chapter (8):"It is disliked to be naked during the prayers"

We are sure that any rational mind would agree that for anyone to remove his trousers in broad day light in public is a deplorable act of indignity. No matter how exhausted a person maybe he would never commit such an appalling act, let alone the beloved Prophet Mohammed (s). This is an absolute lie fabricated by the Nasibi Banu Ummayya to degrade Banu-Hashim.

This is hence another tale!

"Having Sexual Intercourse and repeating it. And engaging with one's own wives and taking a single bath (after doing so)"

Narrated Mohammed bin Al-Munthahir on the authority of his father that he had asked 'A'isha (RA) (about the Hadith of Ibn 'Umar). She said " May Allah be merciful to Abu Abdur Rehman. I used to put scent on Allah's Apostle (s) and he used to go round in the morning he assumed the Ihram, and the fragrance of the scent was still coming from his body".
"Sahih al Bukhari" Volume. (I). Book (5): "The book of Bathing" Chapter (13)

Narrated Qatadah: Anas Bin Malik (RA) said, "The Prophet (s) used to visit all his wives in a round, during a day and night and they were eleven in number. I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet (s) the strength for it?" Anas replied, we used to say that The Prophet (s) was given the strength of 30 (men)"
"Sahih al Bukhari" Volume. (I). Book (5): "The book of Bathing" Chapter (13)

Narrated from A'isha (ra): We performed Hajj with the Prophet (s) and performed Tawaf-al-Ifada on the day of Nahr (slaughtering). Safiya got her menses and the Prophet desired from her what a husband desired from his wife, I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! She is having her menses". He said "Is she going to detain us?" We informed him that she had performed Tawaf-al-Ifada on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Proceed".
"Sahih al Bukhari" Volume (II), Book 26: Book of Hajj, Chapter: The visit (of the Ka'aba to perform Tawaf-al-Ifada) on the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhu'l Hijja)

Narrated A'isha: "The Prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While in Itikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to be in my periods (menses)".
"Sahih al Bukhari", Volume. (I). Book (6): "The book of Menses", Chapter (7):"Fondling a Menstruating Wife"

Abu Wali used to send his menstruating maidservant to bring the Qur'an from Abi Razin by carrying it from the hanger (of its case)". Narrated A'isha (RA): "The Prophet (s) used to lean on my lap and recite Qur'an while I was in menses".
"Sahih al Bukhari" Volume. (I). Book (6): "The book of Menses" Chapter (5):"To recite Qur'an while lying in the lap of one's own menstruating wife"

According to these 'authentic' traditions we can see clearly that the above hadith prove that the Holy Prophet (s), The Master of all the Prophets was:

  1. So fond of Sexual Intercourse that he used to sleep with his eleven wives in just one night

  2. He couldn't be patient even in the days of Hajj (pilgrimage)

  3. He liked fondling his wives, and could not restrain himself from fondling them even during their menses.


May Allah give us protection from such vulgar thoughts! As far as his (s) strength and health is concerned Allah (swt) had blessed his Apostle (s) distinctly. He (s) was exceedingly strong both mentally & physically with vital senses many fold more sensitive & powerful then an ordinary human being. Despite this favour, the Holy Prophet (s) used his strengths modestly. It was his (s) complete self-control on emotions that depicted his (s)-exalted manners & sublime morality.

Allah (swt) praises his (s) manners in the Holy Qur'an in Surah-Al-Kalam (The Pen) Verse 4

"And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are on an exalted standard of character."

The Holy Prophet (s) was a just person. He (s) treated all his wives justly He (s) spent a day with each of them. He (s) visited only one wife in a night. He (s) preferred to sleep early after the Isha prayers and wake up soon after the midnight for Tahajjud prayers he then continued various 'Ibadaat' (worship & veneration) until the Fajr (Morning Prayers), this was his routine.

The actual Shi'a position



We the Shi'a refuse to accept such filthy traditions, by doing so does that make us kaffir. As far as we are concerned protecting the integrity of the Prophet (S) if far more important than protecting the integrity of Sahih al Bukhari! Hence yes we do regard these as tales we believe that:

  1. It is utterly untrue that the Holy Prophet (s) visited all his wives (i.e. eleven) in just one night.

  2. It is also untrue that Holy Prophet (s) had the desire of fondling his (s) wives during menses

  3. It is also untrue that The Holy Prophet (s) desired to have sexual intercourse with Hadhrath Safiya on the day of sacrifice.

  4. It is also untrue that The Holy Prophet (s) recited The Holy Qur'an in the Laps of any wife during her menses.


The above traditions are derogatory to the piety & holiness of The Holy Prophet (s). When a Non-Muslim commits blasphemy by quoting these narrations our necks bow down with humiliation & embarrassment. And this Minhajj are trying to call us kaffirs because we reject these books! On the Day of Judgement at least the Shi'a will say we protected the perfection of the infallible Prophet, whilst groups such as Minhajj dedicated their lives to degrading the Prophet (s) with the above filthy traditions!
