Reply to the Allegation_ Muhammad Has Sex With a Crazy Woman in the Street

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, to Him be the best praise and the most beautiful commendation. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He speaks the truth and guides to the path, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

As for what follows,

this is an important rule: collecting the chains of transmission of the hadith and its wordings reveals what is hidden.

This is a necessity that must be paid attention to, that the researcher should not limit himself to one narration to clarify an issue, extract a jurisprudence, or build a ruling, but he must collect the wordings of one narration to clarify what is unclear or add meaning.

The issue requires more clarification and detail, which is not the place for it now.

Al-Hafiz Abu Zur’ah Al-‘Iraqi said: ” If the chains of transmission of the hadith are collected, what is intended by it becomes clear, and we do not have the right to stick to one narration and abandon the rest of the narrations .” (Tarh At-Tathreeb 7/181)

Yahya bin Ma’een said: “He says, ’ If we did not write the hadith from thirty chains of transmission, we would not have understood it . ’” (Al-Khatib fi Al-Jami’ li Akhlaq Al-Rawi 2/212)

Imam Ahmad said: ” If you do not collect the chains of transmission of a hadith, you will not understand it, and some parts of a hadith explain others .” (Al-Khatib in Al-Jami’ li Akhlaq Al-Rawi 2/212)

Al-Athram said: Hadiths explain each other and confirm each other (Nasikh al-Hadith wa Mansukhuh 251)

Al-Qadi Iyad said: Hadiths explain each other and their interpreter removes the ambiguity from their ambiguous and ambiguous narrations (Ikmal al-Mu’allim 8/380)

Ibn Daqeeq said: If the chains of transmission of a hadith meet, they explain each other (Ihkam al-Ihkam 1/117)

Ibn Hazm said: The difference in narrations is not a defect in the hadith if the meaning is the same, because it is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that when he narrated a hadith, he would repeat it three times. So each person transmitted according to what he heard. So this difference in narrations is not something that weakens the hadith if the meaning is the same (Al-Ihkam fi Usul al-Ahkam 1/139)

Some of it is from Al-Muqrib fi Bayan al-Muttarib by Sheikh Ahmad ibn ‘Umar ibn Salim Bazmool.

The doubt says:

” Muhammad had sex with a mad woman in the street - a woman who was mentally unstable and she said, ‘O Muhammad, I have a need of you.’ So he said to her, ‘Look at which street .’” “I wanted to fulfill your need, so he was alone with her on some of the roads until she had finished her need. ”

The response is from two aspects:

First, the explanation of the hadith: The purpose of seclusion and its meaning:

An-Nawawi said:

(( His saying: (He was alone with her on some of the roads)

means he stopped with her on a well-traveled road to fulfill her need and give her a fatwa regarding seclusion, and that was not seclusion with a non-mahram woman, because this was in a passageway for people and they could see him and her, but they could not hear her speech, because her question is something that he does not reveal. And Allah knows best )) (Sharh Muslim 15/83).

Al-Bukhari included a chapter for it in his Sahih, and he said: ( Chapter on what is permissible for a man to be alone with a woman in the presence of people ).

Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said:

That is, he should not be alone with her in a way that their persons are hidden from them, but rather in a way that they cannot hear their speech.If it was something that is feared, such as something that a woman would be ashamed to mention in front of people, and the author took his statement about the biography among people from his statement about some of the paths of the hadith, so he was alone with her in some paths or in some of the alleys, which are the well-traveled paths that people usually pass through (Al-Fath 9/333).

And the statement of Al-Hafiz is confirmed by what Abu Dawud Al-Tayalisi narrated in his Musnad:

On the authority of Anas:

” A woman from the Ansar came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to** speak to him** about something , so she was alone with him, so the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are the most beloved of people to me.” He said: He means the Ansar . (3/545/2180)

The second aspect of the response: How was the seclusion?

1The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not seclude himself with her alone!

Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Anas ibn Malik:

” A woman from the Ansar came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with her children. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are the most beloved of people to me.’ He said it three times. ” (6154)

In another version of Al-Bukhari: ” And with her was a boy .”

In the version of Musnad Ahmad, he said: ” With her was a son .” (3/129/12327)

2The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, only kept a short distance from his companions out of concern for them. For the woman who asked, even Anas, may God be pleased with him, heard the last words of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace..

“The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are the most beloved of people to me. He said it three times. ”

So how did he hear it and know how many times the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, repeated the statement, except when he was close to him.

Two notes:

1What is meant by love in the hadith are the Ansar in general, as in Musnad al-Tayalisi and others: On the authority of Anas:

” A woman from the Ansar came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to talk to him about something, and she was alone with him. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are the most beloved of people to me.’ He said: ‘He means the Ansar .’” (3/545/2180) .

And in al-Nasa’i’s Sunan al-Kubra :

” By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are the most beloved of people to me. Whoever loves them loves me, and whoever hates them hates me.” (5/87/8330)

2Anas’s statement: ” There is something wrong with her mind .”

Sheikh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad said in Explanation of Sunan Abi Dawood:

There is some error and deficiency. It was said that this was only mentioned because she asked him to sit with her, and that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, took care of her and fulfilled what she wanted because of her weakness.

Finally, the hadith contains evidence of the noble character of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his response to the believers and his fulfillment of their needs, may my father and mother be sacrificed for him.

Anas, may God be pleased with him, said :

” She wasA female slave from the people of Medina would take the hand of the Messenger of God , may God bless him and grant him peace, and he would go around with her in her needs until she was finished, then she would return . Narrated by Al -

Bukhari in a suspended chain of transmission and by Abu Al-Sheikh Al-Asbahani in Akhlaq Al-Nabi (26)
