WHY WERE FIRST AHADITH COLLECTIONS (SAHIH BUKHARI) MADE 214 YEARS (IN IRAQ, NOT MECCA) AFTER MUHAMMAD’S DEATH IF THEY WERE INSPIRED BY ALLAH? Obviously, the first question which we must ask is why these Traditions were written so late, 150 to 300 years after the fact? We simply do not have any account from the Islamic community during the initial 150 years or so. Not a single document has been found that can be traced to the period between the first Arab conquests of the early seventh century and the appearance of the Sira-Ta’rikh-Hadith collections of Ishaq, Tabari, and Bukhari towards the late eighth and ninth century. You would expect historians and scholars to find, in those intervening 2 centuries, at least remnants of evidence for the development of Islam; yet they find nothing. And that means the totality of the Islamic conquests from Spain to India were complete before the first verse of Islamic scripture was written or retained. Sahih Bukhari Vol.6, Bk.61, No.549 “Allah’s Apostle said, “The example of the person who knows the Qur’an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will control them, but if he releases them, they will run away.” Sahih Bukhari Vol.6, Bk.61, No.550 “The Prophet said, ‘It is a bad thing that some of you say, “I have forgotten such-and-such verse of the Qur’an.” For indeed, I have been caused to forget it. So you must keep on reciting the Qur’an because it escapes from the hearts of men faster than a runaway camel.’” So how could anyone remember Quran after several decade? Archaeologists haven’t found any scrap of paper, a papyrus scroll, a parchment, even a rock carving to suggest a single Hadith was coined within a century of Muhammad’s death. Then, all of a sudden, two hundred and fifty years later, there are 600,000 of them that emerge out of thin air. Once again there is a singular rational explanation. They didn’t exist previously. The Islamic Sunnah upon which Islam is based, upon which the Five Pillars are comprised, upon which suicide bombers blast their way into infamy is a farce. Like the Qur’an, the Sunnah was created in Baghdad. The Hadith gained fables, miracles, exaggerations, laws, religious rituals and dogma—the kind of stuff the ruling elite in Baghdad needed to control and fleece those who were now under their spell.
