The IslamQA website has confirmed that this is a fabricated hadith based on the Arabic wording and because Abu Ishaq al-Hamadhani is not known to have compiled any book of sunnah<ref>https://islamqa.info/en/145202</ref>.

This and similar hadiths are a common attempt by Muslim apologists to try and dodge some gross [[Scientific Errors in the Hadith|scientific errors]] about the sun that Muhammad used to preach.

===Have mercy on other creatures===
{{Quote|"Abdullah b. Amr: Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi"|Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures.}}
Apologists quote this hadith to assert that Islam preaches mercy for all creatures. The Jami at-Tirmidhi collection mentions this hadith (number 1922) but it says "people" instead of "creatures." This hadith is not found anywhere in the collection of Abu Dawud. <!--Moreover, even a quote with a positive message like this Tirmidhi hadith is hardly successful in mending Muhammad's reputation.-->
==='Aisha reached puberty before consumating her marriage===
==='Aisha reached puberty before consumating her marriage===
'Aisha lived with her parents before her marriage to Muhammad was consumated at the age of 9 ({{Muslim|8|3310}}). The following mistranslation is used to claim she reached puberty while she still lived there.

The word أَعْقِلْ means to use thoughts or reasoning, but the translator Muhsin Khan has used the word 'puberty'. The meaning rather is simply that 'Aisha was never aware of a time when her parents were not Muslim. A literal translation would be "I was not aware of my parents other than that the two of them both acknowledged the religion" (لَمْ أَعْقِلْ أَبَوَىَّ إِلاَّ وَهُمَا يَدِينَانِ الدِّينَ).

The same Arabic phrase is translated as follows in another hadith by the same translator:

The exact same Arabic phrase is translated as follows in another hadith by the same translator:


(the wife of the Prophet) "I do not remember my parents believing in any religion other than the Religion (of Islam), and our being visited by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the morning and in the evening....}}
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|37|494}}|  Narrated Aisha:


See also the two other occurrances, {{Bukhari|3|37|494}} and {{Bukhari|5|58|245}}.
(wife of the Prophet) Since I reached the age when I could remember things, I have seen my parents worshipping according to the right faith of Islam. Not a single day passed but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited us both in the morning and in the evening...}}


In any case, the 'puberty' mistranslation makes no chronological sense. 'Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, was one of Muhammad's first followers. It would not have taken until puberty for 'Aisha to notice that her father followed the religion.
