maulana, agla sawal lucknow se hai ajmal hassan sahab ka. انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "The systematic collection of Ahadith came into existence approximately after two centuries of Prophet, "accept Muwatta of Imam Malik." Maulana, my question is: Why Sahaba Ikram did not make the arrangement to preserve Ahadith in the same way as was done for the preservation? یہ بالکل مجھے وحشت ہوتی ہے

is sawalat se. yeh bilkul un logon ke sawalat hain jin ka koi talluq nahi. is par bohat kuch likha gaya hai, un ko aap parhiye. doctor hafeezullah ki kitab parhiye aap ke sahaba ke zaman mein bhi likha gaya, ab abu huraira

ke zaman mein bhi likha gaya. baghair parhe hue log sawalat karte hain. doctor hafeezullah jo the, bohat qabil aadmi the. aap un ki kitab parhiye aur doosron ki kitabein parhiye.
1:31:15
baghair parhe hue sawalat kyun karte hain? yeh bilkul galat hai yeh kehna ke rasool Allah ke zaman mein kitab hadithain likhi gayi nahin gayi theen. rasool Allah ke zamanay mein likhi gayi hain, sahaba ke zamanay mein likhi gayi hain, tabayeen ke zamanay mein likhi gayi hain.

aap in kitabon ko parhiye ya jo idhar udhar kitabein logon ne chhaap rakhi hain, shafa'at daalne walay logon ki kitabein shayad parhte hain. aap in ki kitabein parhiye jo jo is par jin par tehqeeq kiya ho, jaise doctor Hafiz Ullah, unki kitab parhiye aap.
