hai. Unhone likha hai: "What are the different categories of hadith and its sources? What should be the approach of interpreting hadith based on the reliability for common man like me?" Common man ko yeh sawal hi nahi karna chahiye. dekhen, yeh ajeeb muamla hai ke log time to lagate nahi aur chahte hain ke wo is collar ki seat pe baith jayen. bhai, agar aap chahte hain ke itna zyada yani gehri aap ko knowledge ho, itni gehrai ke sath aap faida kar saken, to aap 50 bar padhiye. aur nahi padh sakte to phir aap ko kya zaroorat hai in muhasibon ko padhne ki?

mein kahunga ke dekhiye, bahut se ulma ne, yani jin ko hum muhaddiseen kehte hain, unhone kitaben likhi hain. un ko khas taur par sasheda chhe kitabon ka hum mana jata hai. Wo is ko padhne ka mauqa ko nahi hai. to ulma ne un se le kar ke ek kai kitaben banain, kai kitaben jaise Mishkat hai, Jabal al-Fawaid hai, aur kai kitaben is tarah ki hain. To bas ek kitab le lijiye aap. Yani ulma ne hadithon ko chhan kar ke aur aam insan ke aam insan ke faide wali hadithien ekatha kar di hain.

to bas is ko is ko padhiye. Is ko ab kya zaroorat hai apna dawa is mein yani uljhane ki? Wo ulma ko chhod dijie. Time ho to 40 saal mutala kijiye, nahi time ho to jo ulma ne kar diya kaam, us ko le kar ab is se ab guidance hasil kijiye. Bas third option mat dijiye. aam taur par log third option lete hain aur third option jo hai, wo wo work nahi karta kisi muamle mein bhi. Mr Idrees ne Raipur se sawal kiya hai.
