Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al Mahdi, The Twelfth Khalifah In The Sahih Sunni Ahadith Some Commonly Misused Shi’i Ahadith On The Mahdi ==================================================== In this chapter, we will be examining the ahadith that are often quoted from Shi’i books by some Sunni elements to “expose the Shi’i Mahdi”. These reports are found in almost every anti-Shi’i article or book, as long as the topic is, or is related to, al-mahdawiyyah .
What our noble reader will soon notice is that it is extremely rare to find a single reliable hadith among them. Unfortunately, this is the ugly tradition of the Ahl al-Sunnah concerning Shi’i riwayat generally. The chance that a Sunni will, in any situation, quote a reliable hadith from the Shi’i sources to prove any point against the Shi’ah is virtually nil. Even then, those dha’if reports are still often overstretched to “prove” what their texts clearly do not indicate!
May Allah save our Ummah from ignorant and dishonest “callers”. So, we strongly advise our brothers and sisters from the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah and the Shi’ah Imamiyyah: whenever anyone – whether Sunni, Shi’i or otherwise - claims to you that a certain hadith exists in the Shi’i sources, demand adamantly that he must produce: (i) its full Arabic text with its chain of narration; (ii) evidence of the reliability of its sanad ; (iii) its primary source with the full citation; (iv) a declaration that it does not originate from a dha’if source book; (v) a declaration that it does not contradict the Qur’an as interpreted in authentic Shi’i ahadith ; and (vi) a declaration that it does not contradict superior Shi’i ahadith .
When you do this, you have already won 2/3 of the battle to defeat deceit and trickery. Narration One ‘Allamah al-Majlisi (d. 1111 H) records: الغيبة للنعماني: ابن عقدة، عن محمد بن المفضل بن إبراهيم عن محمد بن عبد الله ابن زرارة، عن الحارث بن المغيرة وذريح المحاربي قالا: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ما بقي بيننا وبين العرب إلا الذبح وأومأ بيده إلى حلقه. Al-Ghaybah of al-Nu’mani : Ibn ‘Uqdah – Muhammad b. al-Mufadhdhal b. Ibrahim – Muhammad b. ‘Abd Allah b. Zurarah – al-Harith b.
al-Mughirah and Dhurayh al-Muharibi: Abu ‘Abd Allah, peace be upon him, said: “Nothing remains between us and the Arabs except slaughter.” And he gestured with his hand to his throat.[^1] This hadith is dha’if , according to Ayatullah al-Muhsini,[^2].
