Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahhabis Fitna Exposed Hadith The ignorant writer writes under the heading “Denial of the Hadith”: “The Shia’s have their own books of traditions; however, in these books the sayings of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam) are no more than five percent; the rest 95 % contains sayings and doings of their imams. In Shi’a terminology “Hadith” means talk, action or speech of an Imam.

Thus the Shi’as have broken all the links with the Islam of Rasulullah (Sallallah alayhi Wasallam) who on the occasion of Farewell Pilgrimage said: “I am leaving behind two things among you; if you hold fast to them you will never go astray. These are the Book of Allah and my Sunnah” There are a lot of amusing things in this short quotation. Let us begin with the definition of Hadith.

Hadith even in Sunni terminology is not confined to “narration of the talk, action or ‘Taqreer” of the Holy Prophet (S) but includes talks of his companions and their disciples too. Likewise, in Shi’a terminology it means the talk, action or “Taqreer” of the Holy Prophet (S), his daughter Bibi Fatimah and the twelve Imams (a.s.) (i.e. the 14 Ma’sums) or its narration.

Now it is for the reader to decide whether the words of the companions and their disciples (who were admittedly not Ma’sum ) are more worthy of acceptance or those of Bibi Fatimah and the 12 Imams whose ‘Ismah is accepted even by such pillars of Sunni’ism as Shah Waliullah Dehlavi, Shah ‘Abdu ‘l­ ‘Aziz Dehlavi and others. This is quite apart from the fact that 4 of this group - Bibi Fatimah, ‘Ali, Hasan and Husayn a.s - were also companions of the Holy Prophet (S).

The unknown writer has given the definition of hadith in these words: “In Shi’a terminology “Hadith” means talk, action or speech of an Imam:’ You have seen that it is not only Imams but even before them the Holy Prophet and Bibi Fatimah whose talk, action and Taqreer or its narration which is called Hadith.
