Hadith????

Assalamu Alaiukum All!

Can someone please explain these Hadith to me? They make no since!

I thought Muhammed was illiterate?This says Muhammed wrote.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 863:
Narrated Al-Bara:

When the Prophet intended to perform 'Umra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca did not let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only. When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: 'These are the terms on which Muhammad, Allah's Apostle agreed (to make peace).' They said, "We will not agree to this, for if we believed that you are Allah's Apostle we would not prevent you, but you are Muhammad bin 'Abdullah." The Prophet said, "I am Allah's Apostle and also Muhammad bin 'Abdullah." Then he said to 'Ali, "Rub off (the words) 'Allah's Apostle' ", but 'Ali said, "No, by Allah, I will never rub off your name." So, Allah's Apostle took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin 'Abdullah has agreed upon......................"

This one says to not write anything from him...hadiths,sunnah etc

"The prophet said: 'Do not write anything from me except the Quran. Whoever wrote, must destroy it" (Muslim, Zuhd 72; Hanbal 3/12,21,39).

This one says the opposite:

"The prophet ordered Amr Ibn As to write everything that he speaks" (Hanbal 2/162).

Then again one telling us not to write anything  of the Prophet down...

"Omar said: Quran is enough for us, do not write anything from the prophet. Everyone in the room accepted what Omar said." (Bukhari, Jihad 176, Jizya 6, Ilim 49, Marza 17, Magazi 83, Itisam 26; Muslim, Wasiyya 20,21,22).

Another one:

"When Muhammad was sick on his death bed, he asked his companions to bring him pen and paper so that he could write them something for their salvation. When one of his companions rushed out to bring pen and paper, he was stopped by Omar Ben Khattab. Reportedly, Omar told him: "The prophet has a high fever; he does not know what he is saying. God's book is sufficient for us (hasbuna kitabullah!)"

According to this hadith, Muhammad dies without writing his last statement. The hadith above claims to be reporting the last words of prophet Muhammad and his companion's reaction.

Why all the differences and why do some say not to have or write down the saying of Muhammed and others say otherwise?

It doesnt make since....

And what about hadith and sunnah that promotes murder and such when the Quran says not to do these things?

"The prophet gave permission to kill children and women in war." (Bukhari, Jihad/146; Abu Dawud 113).

Quran says otherwise-Surah 4:75

And what are we to make out of sayings like these that make no since at all or totally unbelievable?

The earth is standing on the horns of a giant bull.---This one is totally obsurd.

"A tribe of monkeys arrested an adulterous monkey and stoned it to death, and I helped them" (Bukhari 63/27).

And if any one can help..I heard there were sayings of Muhammed(pbbh) that says we will inherit 70 virgins if we kill non Muslims..Is this true? I hope not..The Quran says to treat non Muslims with equality and allow them to live in peace.

Are you saying that they are not true Hadiths?Have you read all Hadith and Sunnah?

If the above quoted Hadiths are not true hadiths then supply me with the true ones..for example if one I HAVE listed says Volume 3, Book 49, Number 863: Narrated Al-Bara: isnt a real hadith then supply the actual hadith.

Jenni wrote: crescentstar, this is the whole problem with the Hadiths. I hope more Muslims will come to realize it. Many of them, even the ones that are authentic seem so bizzare and useless. I think you have to use your own brain, if it contradicts the Quran, I reject it.  If it is too bizarre I ignore it. And I know many many who do the same.. Peace

Salaam Jenni,very good advice,Quran comes first,if it contradicts the Quran leave it alone..
