Did you choose from Shahih grade Hadeeth only or just a random pick ?

 

[Shia Islam]

Did you choose from Shahih grade Hadeeth only or just a random pick ?

Thank you brother for your important questions.
As you know in shia islam there is no Hadith book that is said to contain only Sahih Hadith, as Sunnis said about al-Bukhari and Muslims..

I have my self studied the Science of Hadith, however, I did not start studying the science of Rijal (Narrators) as yet.

So i am not yet fully capable of deciding the authenticity of all the Hadiths.

The Good thing is that in Shia Islam, the chain (number of Narrators) is short. That is because we have 12 infallible Imams. This means that if someone called A, for example, is narrating a Hadith from someone called B, who is narrating the Hadith from imam Sadiq a.s., who is narrating the Hadith from his fathers...from the prophet SAWA, then we need only to investigate about two narrators, who are A, and B.

As for the Hadiths I have chosen, I did not study their chain of narrators. However I feel that the message these Hadiths is conveying is shared by the Quran and other authentic Hadith.

 

[F0uad]

I have a question can Shia's consider some of the works in Bukhari authentic or not?

 

[Shia Islam]

Many of the Sunni Hadiths are also narrated by the Shia Imams. It’s important, however, to note that Shia imams (who are also revered by the Sunnis), have mentioned the names of some Shahaba (companions of the prophet) who used to lie about the prophet SAWA. Unfortunately, Al-Bukhari depended most on those Shahaba. He also intentionally avoided relating Hadith from Ahlulbayt imams a.s.

There are many Sunni sources which are far better than al-Bukhari work. However these sources have been demoted in favour of al-Bukhari for political reasons. For instance Al-Nasā'ī (214 – 303AH), who wrote one of the six canonical hadith collections recognized by Sunni Muslims, has applied more strict rules and conditions related to accepting the hadiths, as some Sunni scholars confirmed.

Thats an honest answer . Thanks for clarification ..

Not sure how you could link a Political reason to that of Al-Nasai but ok. Thanks for your answer.

you are welcome.

Just to add, that what can be refereed to as Political reasons, we may see as religious reasons nowadays.

As time passes, people see the past differently.

Somebody requested Imam Ali to advise him how to lead a useful and sober life. Imam Ali thereupon advised him thus:

"Do not be among those people who want to gain good returns without working hard for them, who have long hopes and keep on postponing repentance and penance, who talk like pious persons but run after vicious pleasures. Do not be among those who are not satisfied if they get more in life and are not content if their lot in life's pleasures is less (they are never satisfied), who never thank Allah for what they get and keep on constantly demanding increase in what is left with them; who advise others to such good deeds that they themselves refrain from; who appreciate good people but do not follow their ways of life; who hate bad and vicious people but follow their ways of life; who, on account of their excessive sins hate death but do not give up the sinful ways of life; who, if fallen ill, repent their ways of life and on regaining their health fearlessly readopt the same frivolous ways; who get despondent and lose all hopes, but on gaining health, become arrogant and careless; who, if faced with misfor- tunes, dangers or afflictions, turn to Allah and keep on beseeching Him for relief and when relieved or favoured with comfort and ease they are deceived by the comfortable conditions they found themselves in and forget Allah and forsake prayers; whose minds are allured by day dreams and forlorn hopes and who abhor to face realities of life; who fear for others the enormous repercussions of vices and sins but for their own deeds expect very high rewards or very light disciplinary actions. Riches make such people arrogant, rebellious and wicked, and poverty makes them despondent and lethargic. If they have to work, they work lazily and if they put up a demand they do it stubbornly.

Under the influence of inordinate cravings, they commit sins in quick succession and keep on postponing repentance. Calamities and adversities make them give up the distinguished characteristics of Muslims (patience, hope in future and work for improvement of circumstances). They advise people with narration's of events and facts but do not take any lesson from them. They are good at preachings but bad at practice, therefore they always talk of lofty deeds but their actions belie their words. They are keen to acquire temporal pleasures but are careless and slow to achieve permanent (Divine) benefits. They think good for themselves the things which are actually injurious to them and regard harmful the things which really benefit them. They are afraid of death but waste their time and do not resort to good deeds before death overtakes them. The vices which they regard as enormous sins for others, they consider as minor shortcomings for themselves. Similarly, they attach great importance to their obedience to the orders of Allah and belittle similar actions in others. Therefore, they often criticize others and speak very highly of their own deeds. They are happy to spend their time in society of rich persons, wasting it in luxuries and vices but are averse to employing for useful purposes in company of the poor and pious people: They are quick and free to pass verdicts against others but they never pass a verdict against their own vicious deeds. They force others to obey them but they never obey Allah. They collect their dues carefully but never pay the dues they owe. They are not afraid of Allah but fear powerful men".

from the sayings of Imam Ali. I picked the longest but to me most important one..
