The Rise of Hadith Forgery | Dr. Shabir Ally

This video will advance your understanding of why hadiths began to be forged and how #hadith scholars dealt with fabricated hadiths. Dr. Shabir Ally explains that hadiths were forged after the death of the #Prophet #Muhammad (peace be upon him) for a variety of reasons. For example, people invented hadith that lent religious backing and support for their leader over others. Dr. Shabir Ally describes the detailed attempts scholars went through to parse hadiths. He explains that even though in principle textual analysis was acknowledged as a valid method of evaluating hadith, it was not exercised in a thorough way.
