Go on the forums to check out the debate inshaa' Allaah. It is well underway 18 posts deep.

But so far it is a very civil debate and no name calling. I congratulate Wasil for taking the opportunity to debate Farid and vice versa.

Yes, Farid = LordBotta

I was surprised, but someone is behaving.

[Muntaqim Force]

I am watching the debate too but not liking any post or comment as for me that Haq Chaar Yaar forum is not an islamic forum to discuss religion at all. It is run by outlaw terrorist organization which is condemned my Islam and Law of many countries. Debate will not end up anywhere.

With Sipah Sahaba there is only one way to debate and that is make it Saffin and lets get down to unfinished business.

Debates are done with brothers such as Ahlul Sunnah brothers not with payed agents. Such agents are not there to learn or seek knowledge but to create fitna as much as possible.

That Haq Chaar Yaar Forum is on a payroll. I doubt if Wasil is on but chances of Farid getting good amount of dollars/halwa is there. Anyways when it come to debate over something, i follow the steps of Imam Ali a.s and refrain myself from following the steps of those stupid Kufis who selected Abu Musa Ashari to represent them post Saffin.

Is it the sunnah of Ali to accuse people of being paid off without proof?

[Muntaqim Force]

Is it the sunnah of Ali to accuse people of being paid off without proof?

No it was the sunnah of Muawiyah lanatullah and i am trying to use his weapon on his disciple. (sarcastic answer)

It is sunnah of not only Imam Ali a.s but since the earth was made till the day of judgement sunnah of all people with knowledge and brain to judge them from their leaders, behaviour, previous encounters etc etc and then pass the doubt. Not out of blue just like this.

A shocking waste of time! How does this "debate" address the 'Aqeedah and rituals of Islaam, that have now been eaten away by Bid'ah viruses. Anyways, traditionally, rijaal is a confused, self-contradictory science, and "scholars" have always differed on the authenticity or otherwise of narrators. No matter where you land in rijaal, you are still on the wrong track!

[Saimaaa]

I think the debate is good and through it one can analyze the fact through a basic level. The shia sunni differences are mainly grounded in the documented narrations. The same narrations are quoted in the exegesis of Quran as well by each side to prove their claim. If any of two participants proved their point , it would show gross errors and loopholes in the narration system of the school of the opposite. The debate is of a very scholarly level and its good that they picked on the core narrators. I can not research the Hadith sciences due to my lack of knowledge of Arabic and the basics of Hadith sciences so i will make my mind in the light of the result of this debate about the Hadiths of the two schools.

I agree with you, this kind of debate does not address the real reasons why Shias criticize abu Hurayra. Farid mentions that one of is two favorite narrators is Ibn Umar, the same man who said he would oppose anyone who would give bayah to someone other than Yazid.

Narrated Nafi':

When the people of Medina dethroned Yazid bin Muawiya, Ibn 'Umar gathered his special friends and children and said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'A flag will be fixed for every betrayer on the Day of Resurrection,' and we have given the oath of allegiance to this person (Yazid) in accordance with the conditions enjoined by Allah and His Apostle and I do not know of anything more faithless than fighting a person who has been given the oath of allegiance in accordance with the conditions enjoined by Allah and His Apostle , and if ever I learn that any person among you has agreed to dethrone Yazid, by giving the oath of allegiance (to somebody else) then there will be separation between him and me."

The rijal-authenticity haggling does not address issue the issue of narrator's biases like that of the one quoted above.

Edited August 15, 2011 by JimJam

[Saimaaa]

^ If that is the case then why not to reject all of the Hadiths and narrations? Who can say with certainty what happened then and what was in the heart of the narrator and recorder then?

[twoblade]

It's an important discussion. Even though most of Abu Hurairah's reports can be corroborated through other Sahaba, if he can be established as a liar (which seems to be the modern day Twelver line) than Sunnis have a serious problem. Unfortunately, it seems Wasil knows the issues with the common Shi'i book on this topic and probably won't pursue that avenue and will limit himself to certain other topics surrounding Abu Hurairah's reports. Likewise, Ibrahim is a mountain for Twelver Shi'ism in how many traditions are recorded from him (not just how many so-and-so says he narrated, but how many are actually codified with his name in the colophon). So if Shi'a don't even have a real basis for considering him reliable, you make thousands of narrations majhool.

There is another grave subjective error in what you have said. How on earth did we come to know that Yazid was a bad guy ? You are establishing bias of Adullah Ibn Umar in the favor of Yazid based on a preconceived notion that Yazid was a bad guy. The badness of Yazid has been transmitted through reports as well. So if rijjal sciences are useless as one can never know what was in the heart of narrator then why not to think the same about the narrations in which Yazid is shown as a bad guy?

I think these are your biases right now through which you are referring to the bias of Abdullah ibn Umar and the bias emerged in you due to narrations deeming Yazid as a bad guy. If we apply your formula "Rijjal sciences are useless as you never know what was in the heart of the narrator at the time he was reporting the Hadith" then the badness of Yazid is doubtful as well.

Yazid was a good guy who deserved support? Why?

This is not an issue which can be argued away why attempting to weaken any narration that you dont like which is anti-Yazid. Yazid is a divisive personality which has a very negative impact on Islamic history, his victims and the descendants of his victims all have condemned him in the severest way. Attempting to justify Yazid will next have you trying to create fictional supervillains to explain what went wrong. Because something did go very wrong

All what i wanted to say was that all the narration and history record can be rejected based on your logic. The Quran-only claimants why is it necessary to know about Yazid and his victims? If it is so important then rijjal sciences is extremely important

and if not then Quran is free of all the faction narrated by the Shias unless on starts plugging in the same narrations whose base can be rejected through your formula of "who knows what was in the heart of the narrator and what was his bias", giving far fetched twists to the verses. Metaphorically it sounds funny like "Putting one's own words in God's mouth".

[JimJam]

When you have someone arguing so passionately for a divisive personality you know there is something amiss. Rijal science is important but there are lots of times where it just becomes like beating about the bush while the real issues remain where they are, if rijal science is anything it is inherently self serving towards the sect of the 'rijal scientist'. One side will accept them, the other will reject them, its a stalemate.

Yes, Shia narrations are biased towards the Imams point of view. And being loyalists of them we accept their opinions.

[Saimaaa]

^ It was not about Yazid. It was about the faulty logic which you used. There are good rules through which chains can be analyzed irrespective of the affiliations of the narrators.

[Gypsy]

^ It was not about Yazid. It was about the faulty logic which you used. There are good rules through which chains can be analyzed irrespective of the affiliations of the narrators.

That is only possible when both sides of the fence (Shia and Sunni) narrated about the same event (through proper chain of narrators).

Some examples are

The event of Ghadeer Khum

The event of Mubahila

The event of the cloak

The Jamal war.

Fatima refused to speak to Abu Bakr and Umar

Fatima buried in the night

Otherwise, JimJam said it best. It is a stalemate.

You repent and whatever for your major sin or have a hadd applied to you doesn't remove that stain on your record and character, you are still a dubious and untrustworthy source of religion. Bar none.

Lets see where this goes. Brother the islamicforum is run by Haq Chaar Yaar organization. The people who run this organization, how they feel towards shia islam can be seen if you type in google " shia killings of parachinar".

You think people whose stanch towards shia islam is as in that video will take what Walid will say!!!! This debate will end up no where and they shias will say "wah wah walid' and the yazidis will say ' wah wah Farid' .

Knowledge of Rijal is not bad but it is not always proper and have many flaws because here were focus on humanly characters and their narrations. Allah s.w.t has given us intellect to use, now if i read 1% of muslims who are indeed followers of Yazid try to save his position and rest 99% have clear narrations that he was tyrant, then i wont waste my time over rijal sciences. Similarly if i read hadith that Prophet s.a.w tried to commit suicide or if Umar was better than Prophet s.a.w, i wont waste my time again over rijal sciences.

When we analyse any statement, the first think to look is what is being said and not who is saying it. Means the hadith mutn is most important to understand. Rijal is the last resort and the amount of narrations shias take and refute does not need rijal sciences at all.

Some people above want to learn something out of this debate. For them my answer is , religion is not learnt from discussions going on in the toilet (islamicforum) in fact, the knowledge seekers bury themselves in books for most of their life and then reach somewhere. Another hint why islam cannot be run by these internet forum's of such people, there is not one thread but many in which the id is created by some wahabi as a shia and then they debate among themselves and in the hand the shia Id (wahabi undercover) accepts that he was wrong. This is all fraud.

jazakAllah

[Sheraz]

Haha I was thinking the same. Must be one sad yazidi who makes a new accout n debates n looses. Shame it can't b proven nonetheless it would b amusing.

As for the debate it's pointless. Cause when it comes to Abu huraira farid is gonna get ripped.

Cause as walid said "Abu huraira was to keen to narrate Hadith when he himself couldn't have been present!"

[Muntaqim Force]

After previously explaining the faith of the on going Debate, i request the admins of this room to remove this thread too. Following are the number of reasons for this thread removal.

1- Topic itself is not debatable but rather it is about the discussion between two people at another forum.

2- Regarding invitation of this debate, another thread was already there.

3- Walid is not appointed as a debater by some international shia authority. So this debate is between two guys and this has no credibility for discussion.

4- Islamicforum people (Wahabis)do not consider shias as muslims, order others to kill shias and have blessings of paradise. Therefore before talking about science of narrators, Walid should prove to them if he is muslim. In such case, publicity of Islamicforum's propaganda should not be welcomed over this forum under the disguise of this thread.

5- Debates are done among public, scholars not matter if they belong to different sects or religion BUT debates are never done with payroll agents. Islamicforum is run by outlaw terrorist organization of Sipah e Sahaba, a wahabi cult, proven Bristish agents on mission to destroy Islam. Therefore discussing Islam with anti Islamic agents was the first wrong step of Walid. We should not welcome this over shia forum.

Therefore, this wahabi advertising propaganda thread should be removed.

Also, look at the people who are interested in this thread so far. You will have a clear picture of it too.

NOTE: Debates and discussions can be done with wahabis too but not with wahabi AGENTS.

Saima, you are a Sunnee. So, what mind are you making up again? In any case, have you ever asked yourself if this rijaal thing can be applied to the Qur'aan too? Izan, could you please provide a SINGLE Saheeh or Hasan chain for the Qur'aan as per Sunnee rijaal? Actually, the Qur'aan has only one extremely weak chain as per Sunnee rijaal! Sunnee scholars instead claim tawaatur for it, without really bringing the rijaal-tested chains that form together to make it mutawaatir. If rijaal is so unimportant when it comes to the Qur'aan, why do we make so much noise?

Secondly, Sunnees grade all the Sahaabah as "trustworthy" when there are in reality terrible liars among them! I exposed two of them in this article http://www.wilayat.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1097:Moin-al-Nasibi-Fails-Again-Concerning-the-Sahabah-%28Part-2%29&catid=71:05-Sahabiat-%28Companionship%29. They are Waleed ibn 'Uqbah and Aboo Hurayrah. I have provided undeniable instances of them both LYING! And I wrote this one too to expose another LIAR among the senior Sahaabah http://www.wilayat.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1504:Mu-tab-ibn-Qushayr-The-Tragedy-of-a-Badr-Warrior-Who-Turned-And-Died-A-Hypocrite&catid=70:05-Biographies-of-Sahaba-General. It is Allaah Himself who has called him a LIAR. So, as you can see, the ROOT of the Sunnee rijaal system is very faulty. How can anything be sensible about it?

Finally, who gave people like Yahya ibn Mo'een, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Bukhaaree, and others the authority to judge the reliability of others? NONE! Rijaal as a whole revolves around the contradictory "opinions" of some self-imposed "judges"! May Allaah save us from its evil.

[MysticKnight]

It's all conjecture and web of doubts. You don't know whom is truthful and liar. Humans can't see inside hearts of people. That's just reality.

Say, Shias are right, what makes Sunni Rijaal analysis wrong? The simple fact of their creed. If they can be wrong, why can't Shia Rijaal be just as wrong.

If Sunnis are right, what makes Shia Rijaal analysis wrong? It's simply because they believed in Imams and rejected Sahabas? That makes them not able to tell truthful from liar, but having the right creed makes you know truthful from liar.

This Rijaal thing is a joke. It's not a science, it's conjecture. You don't know whom is truthful and liar, you may know someone to be a liar if you catch them lying (which most of the time, it has nothing to do with that), but you certainly won't know if they are truthful, because even if you never catch them lying, they may lie.
