[quote]I think I have a very good idea how Hadiths were collected and compiled. There was a lapse of nearly two and half centuries from the year of the death of Prophet to the time when Imam Bukhari started collecting and compiling Hadiths, therefore he certainly did not receive information from "direct sources". (although Imam Malik's muttawa is earliest hadith work but scholars have pointed out many flaws in that work). The point I am trying to make is this: If you reject the author of book because he was not present at the times of Prophet then you should also reject Hadith literature because it too got compiled after the demise of Prophet. This leaves us with no historical record of Prophet at all and no "authentic" book on Islam other than Quran!! I have already pointed out in my post above that the author has very comprehensive bibliography at the back of book and he has written whole chapter explaining how he gathered his sources. His research work received excellent reviews from the critics. What else do you expect from the author to make the book "authentic". If I follow your logic then we end up rejecting every book written on Islam other than Quran. This is possibly my last post on the topic and I apologise if I have said something wrong. At the end of day, as I said earlier, it's up to you accept or reject the incident reported in the book. Peace Lofty[/quote]
