===Which wing contains the venom and which the antidote? === | ===Which wing contains the venom and which the antidote? === | ||
Ibn Hajar wrote in his commentary on the hadith: | |||
{{Quote||I found nothing among the variants to pinpoint the wing that carries the antidote but one of the Ulema said he observed that the fly protects itself with its left wing so it can be deduced that the right one is the one with the antidote.}} | |||
This is ludicrous, but also what must be the starting point in debating on this subject. For if they say that the presence of phages proves that the hadith is correct, then pointing out that phages are not limited to any one wing, right or left, immediately proves the falsehood in the hadiths. | This is ludicrous, but also what must be the starting point in debating on this subject.
