Laddu Maharaj's guidance to muslims on Reliable and UnReliable Hadeeths!

Let me give guidance on what is reliable and what is un-reliable-

1. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The Fire is surrounded by indulgence (pleasures) of appetites and Jannah is surrounded by things people dislike." [Agreed upon]


This is wrong. Jannah us not surrounded by things people dislike but has a magnificient way to it.


2. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "This world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the unbeliever." [Muslim]


This is wrong. World is NOT a prison but is a place where humans can achieve heavens or hell through his karma. Mere belief in Allah does not lead to Jannah.


3. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "A man follows the religion of his close friend, so each of you should be very careful about whom he takes as a close friend." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

What he is means is the power of collective spiritual alliance. Budhha has already said more about that in his discourses on Sangha.
The same is reflected in the hindu notion of spiritual lineage or Gotra.


4. Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who safeguards for My sake what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I will safeguard Jannah for him." [Agreed upon]

"Safeguard" is not perhaps the correct translation here. It could be "utilizes". So here the exhortation is for Jehad of speech and Jehad of Lund.


5. Anas reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "None of you can truly be said to believe until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself." [Agreed upon]

This is golden principle and was know to all civilizations before Mohammad. It is not a revelation but a well know moral concept.


6. An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The metaphor of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and affection is that of the body. When one limb of it complains, the rest of the body collapses with sleeplessness and fever." [Agreed upon]


This is wrong. It onlt aims at subduing dissent and argument within the muslim community. It should be rejected.


7. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The strong man is not the one who throws people in wrestling. The strong man is the one who has control of himself when he is angry." [Agreed upon]


Even hindus consider control over anger as one of the bigget virtues. It is not a revelation but a well known moral precept.


8. Jarir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "If someone does not show mercy to people, Allah will not show mercy to him." [Agreed upon]


This is the doctrine of karma. You sow what you reap and is again a well known precept.

9. Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "I memorised from the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH): 'Abandon anything that gives you doubt for what gives you no doubt. Truthfulness is peace of mind and lying is doubt." [At-Tirmidhi]


This is BS. Should be rejected. Doubt is needed to arriva at truth. Cartesian doubt is the basis of arriving at well understood propositions.


10. Abu Umama Sudayy ibn 'Ajlan al-Bahili said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), speaking in the Hajj of Farewell. He said, 'Fear Allah, pray your five prayers, fast your month, pay the zakat on your property and obey your leaders and you will enter Jannah of your Lord." [at-Tirmidhi]


Abolutely BS. This should be rejected. None of these things can lead to jannah.


11. Jabir also reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "No Muslim plants something without what is eaten from it being sadaqa for him. Even what is stolen from it is sadaqa for him. And no one visits it without that being sadaqa for him." [Muslim]


This is absolutely BS. It only helps justify Theivery and thuggery.


12. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "All of my community will enter Jannah except those who refuse." He was asked, "Who are those who refuse, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Those who obey me will enter Jannah and those who disobey me refuse." [al-Bukhari]

This was only true for the period of time Mo was alive. It is not true for times after he was dead.



13. Abu Hurayra, reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "Whoever has done an injustice to his brother with regard to his honour or anything else should seek to be absolved by him before the day when there will be neither dinar nor dirham. If he has right actions, they will be taken from him to counterbalance the injustice he did, and if he does not have any good actions, some of the bad actions of his friend will be taken and he will be made to carry them." [al-Bukhari]


This iswrong, there is no automatic carry over of karmas to other persons. Every one must suffer his own bad deeds.


14. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not harm his neighbour. Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should honour his guest. Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak well or be silent." [Agreed upon]

This is well known to hindus in the precept that "Guest is like God"



15. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who desires the expansion of his provision or to have the best of his life prolonged, should maintain ties of kinship (blood-relationships).'" [Agreed upon]


Again this is a well understood cultural precept known to all civilizations before Mohammad. There is nothing new in it.


16. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported: "The Prophet, (PBUH), said, 'A person who maintains ties of kinship is not someone who only does so with those who maintain ties with him. A person who maintains ties of kinship is someone who restores them when they have been cut off.'" [al-Bukhari]

Again commonsense.


17. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "It is better for one of you to take a rope and carry firewood on his back than for him to go to a man to beg from him who then gives to him or refuses to." [Agreed upon]


commonsense. One does not require Allah's revelations to understand this.

18. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Which of you loves the property of his heir more than he loves his own property?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is none of us who does not love his own property more." He said, "His property is what he sends ahead (i.e. gives in the way of Allah), and the property of his heir is what he keeps back (i.e. the property he will leave if he died tomorrow)." [al-Bukhari]

This is plain gibberish.


Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Ansari al-Badri reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it." [Muslim]


Again, common sense .


20. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who calls people to guidance has the same reward as that received by those who follow it, without that decreasing their reward in any way. Anyone who calls people to misguidance, is attributed with wrong actions the same as those who follow it, without that decreasing their wrong actions in any way." [Muslim]

Commonsense. The guru or guiding person does partake of some of the karmas of the shishya- but not in entirity.
