This page lists various types of [[Islam and Science|scientific]] [[Contradictions and Errors|errors]] in the [[hadith]]. They are a proof of Muhammad's lack of knowledge on many subjects. Some of these errors are similar to scientific errors in the Qur'an. | |||

===Spinal bone does not decay=== | |||
Some translations of this hadith say "coccyx" instead of "spinal bone". | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web|url= https://sunnah.com/muslim/54/179 |title=Sahih Muslim 54:179 |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|Abu Huraira reported so many ahadith from Allah's Apostle and amongst these one was this that Allah's Messenger said: '''There is a bone in the human being which the earth would never consume''' and it is from this that new bodies would be reconstituted (on the Day of Resurrection). They said: Allah's Messenger, which bone is that? Thereupon he said: '''It is the spinal bone.'''}} | |||
This claim has no factual basis. All bones of buried vertebrates decay over time; only their rate of decay varies. | |||
===Races and physical diversity in men are because of different materials used to create Adam=== | |||
Races depend on genes and adaptation in humans. It has nothing to do with materials of the earth. | |||
{{Quote|[http://sunnah.com/urn/639390]|Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed Allah Most High created Adam from a handful that He took from all of the earth. So the children of Adam come in according with the earth, some of them come red, and white and black, and between that, and the thin, the thick, the filthy, and the clean."}} | |||

===A black spot appears on the heart of a sinning Muslim=== | |||
In reality, physical changes to one's organs do not happen because of sinning. | |||

If he repents and gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin) increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Ran that Allah mentions in His Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.” [83:14] (Hasan)}} | |||

==History== | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|34|335}}|Narrated Ata bin Yasar: I met `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As and asked him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. Old Testament.") He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, '''he is described in Torah''' with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Qur'an as follows: "O Prophet ! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you "Al-Mutawakkil" (who depends upon Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noisemaker in the markets And you do not do evil to those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. '''Allah will not let him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,"''' With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped hearts."}} | |||
There are two errors in the above hadith. The first error is that Muhammad is mentioned in Torah. The belief that Muhammad is mentioned in Torah requires too many assumptions and also a mistranslation of the Hebrew word ''Mahamadim''. Torah never clearly predicted the birth or other events of the life of Muhammad. | |||
The second error is about Muhammad's death. Muhammad died in 632 CE. However crooked people continued to exist. | |||
===Plague in Medina=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|71|627}}|Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Neither Messiah (Ad-Dajjal) nor plague will enter Medina."}} | |||
This is a false statement. [[Jeddah]], [[Mecca]], [[Medina]] were swept by the Third Plague Pandemic in 1898.<ref>{{cite book |last=Welford | |||

===Muslims are the last people to arrive on earth=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|8|78|621}}|The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "We (Muslims) are the last in the world, but will be foremost on the Day of Resurrection."}} | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|1|4|239}}|Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We (Muslims) are the last (people to come in the world) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection)."}} | |||
There are many exceptions to the above prophecy of Muhammad like Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, Waldensians, Sikhs and Nirankaris. These ethnoreligious communities were born after Muhammad and Muslims. | |||

==Miscellaneous== | |||
===Graves of true Muslims are widened to 70 cubits and bodies of hypocrites are squeezed=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|40|6862}}|Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Apostle having said: When the servant is placed in his grave and his companions retrace their steps arid he hears the noise of the footsteps, then two angels come to him and make him sit and say to him: What you have to say about this person (the Holy Prophet)? If he is believer, he would say: I bear testimony to the fact that he is a servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then it would be said to him: Look to your seat in the Hell- Fire, for Allah has substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He would be shown both the seats. Qatada said: It was mentioned to us that '''his grave (the grave of a believer) expands to seventy cubits and is full with verdure until the Day when they would be resurrected.'''}} | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web|url=http://sunnah.com/tirmidhi/10/107 |title= Jami' al Tirmidhi Vol. 2, Book 5, Hadith 1071 |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "When the deceased - or he said when one of you - is buried, two angels, black and blue (eyed_ come to him. One of them is called Al-Munkar, and the other An-Nakir. They say: 'What did you used to say about this man?' So he says what he was saying (before death) 'He is Allah's slave and His Messenger. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.' So they say: 'We knew that you would say this.' '''Then his grave is expanded to seventy by seventy cubits, then it is illuminated for him.''' Then it is said to him: 'Sleep.' So he said: 'Can I return to my family to inform them?' They say: 'Sleep as a newlywed, whom none awakens but the dearest of his family.' Until Allah resurrects him from his resting place.""If he was a hypocrite he would say: 'I heard people saying something, so I said the same; I do not know.' So they said: 'We knew you would say that.' '''So the earth is told: 'Constrict him.' So it constricts around him, squeezing his ribs together.''' He continues being punished like that until Allah resurrects him from his resting place."}} | |||
===There is a Gate to Heaven in the West=== | |||
Muhammad claimed that Allah has created a huge gate of repentance to the west (of Arabia, presumably) and it will remain open till the Day of Judgement. However, despite our near-universal mapping of the Earth's surface and even detailed knowledge of the bodies in the solar system, we have not yet seen a trace of such a massive gate. | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web|url=http://sunnah.com/tirmidhi/48/166 |title= Jami al Tirmidhi Vol. 6, Book 45, Hadith 3535 |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|Zirr bin Hubaish said:“I came to Safwan bin Assal Al Muradi to ask him about wiping over the Khuff, so he said: ‘What has brought you, I Zirr?’ So I said: ‘The desire for knowledge.’ So he said: ‘Indeed, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, out of pleasure with what he is seeking.’ So I said: ‘Indeed there is some doubt in my chest concerning wiping over the Khuff after defecation and urination, and you were a man from the× Companions of the Prophet, so I came to you to ask you: Have you heard him (ﷺ) mention anything concerning that?’ He said: ‘Yes, he used to order us, that when we were travelers’ - or - ‘in travel, to not remove our Khuff for three days and nights except, from sexual impurity, but not from defecation, urination, and sleep.’” He said: “Have you heard him mention anything concerning love?” He said: “Yes. We were with the× Messenger of Allah on a journey when a Bedouin with a loud voice called upon him (saying): ‘O Muhammad!’ So the Messenger of Allah responded to him with a voice similar to him (saying): ‘Come.’ So we said to him: ‘Lower your voice for you are with the Prophet, and you have been prohibited from this.’ He said: ‘By allah, I will not lower (my voice).’ The Bedouin said: ‘A man is with whomever he loves on the Day of Judgement.” So he did not cease talking with us, '''until he mentioned a gate in the direction of the west with the width of seventy years journey - or a rider would travel its width - for forty or seventy years.” Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: “In the direction of Ash-Sham, Allah created it the Day He created the heavens and the earth, open - that is, for repentance. It shall not be locked until the sun rises through it.”'''}} | |||
=== Sins of Mankind Darkened the Black Stone in Mecca=== | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web quotebox|url=http://sunnah.com/tirmidhi/9/70 |title= Jami' al Tirmidhi Vol. 2, Book 4, Hadith 877 |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|Ibn Abbas narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "The Black Stone descended from the Paradise, and it was more white than milk, then it was blacked by the sins of the children of Adam."}} | |||
