Hadith

Hadith referenced across Revert Way's research, with gradings and links to discussion.

• Sahih Muslim

  'A'isha's report that the Qur'an originally specified "ten known breastfeedings" to establish a kinship-by-nursing bar to marriage, later abrogated to "five known breastfeedings," and that the Prophet died while the "five" ruling was still being recited as Qur'an by some. A starker case than the verse of stoning report, since it describes textual instability persisting up to the Prophet's death itself; the report is accepted as sound (sahih) by Muslim's own criteria.

• Sahih al-Bukhari 1088

  A hadith prohibiting a woman from travelling a journey of a specified distance except in the company of a mahram (a male relative she cannot lawfully marry), cited as the textual basis of the classical mahram travel requirement.

• Sahih al-Bukhari 4425

  "A people who entrust their affairs to a woman will not succeed" — reported as Muhammad's response on learning that the Sasanians had placed a daughter of Khosrow (Buran) on the throne.

• Sahih al-Bukhari 900

  "Do not prevent the female servants of God from going to the mosques of God." (Also recorded in Sahih Muslim 442, with a companion account of Ibn 'Umar rebuking his son Bilal for objecting: "I am narrating to you that which comes from the Messenger of God, and you say we will certainly prevent them.")

• Sahih Muslim

  "Do not write anything from me except the Qur'an... whoever has written anything from me other than the Qur'an should erase it." Sits in tension with reports that 'Abdallah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As kept a written collection (al-Sadiqa) with the Prophet's reported approval, and with hadith commanding transmission ("convey from me, even one verse").

• Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim

  'Umar's statement from the pulpit that a "verse of stoning" had been revealed, and that he feared people would later say "we do not find [it] in the Book of God" — an internal, canonical admission that material some early Companions believed Qur'anic did not survive into the mushaf. The traditional resolution (naskh al-tilawa duna al-hukm: abrogation of recitation without abrogation of the ruling) is logically coherent but empirically unfalsifiable.
