Salem All,

I hope I don't get in trouble for copying so much *lol*

HISTORY OF HADITHS

Peace and blessings be upon all the messengers of Allah.

MUHAMMED FORBIDS THE WRITING OF HADITHS

It has been documented in Muslim, Ahmed and other sources of Hadith that Muhammad had prohibited the writing of his hadith.  

(1) Ibn Saeed Al-Khudry reported that the messenger of God had said,

"Do not write anything from me EXCEPT QURAN. Anyone who wrote anything other than the Quran shall erase it."

The following historical incident happened about 30 years after the death of the Prophet Muhammed and shows that the Prophet never canceled his order not to write but the Quran. The hadiths books however contained some fabricated hadiths that are considered by the same Hadiths scholars as very weak, trying to indicate that Muhammed changed his view about writing the hadiths. The readers of the hadith to follow, that happened about 30 years after the death of the Prophet, will conclude by themselves that the Prophet Muhammed never authorized the writing of the hadiths since the time he told his followers not to write but the Quran.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Sister Suzanne, I got this information about Hadiths, hope this helps.

Peace

Suzanne, the hadith you've posted is correct.  That was during the time when the quran was still being revealed to him s.a.w and written down by scribes r.a.  The reason why the prohet s.a.w forbade it at that time was due to the fear of the mixing of the word of Allah (quran) with his own words . 

During the time of the khilafat, the quran was complete.  There was no room for confusion.  However, there arrised a fear of forgetting the sunnah and thus losing a wealth of knowledge.   So, the khalifa r.a allowed it.  

Salaam

Salem,

Alhemdeallah both of you as so full of knowledge.

Salaam. It is hard to decide but I came across this one from the internet:

Kanz Ul Ummal, Vol 5, pg 237.

as reported by Aisha bint Abu Bakr:

"My father collected the Hadith of the Prophet (s), and they were five-hundred in number. He spent the night being undecided [about them]. I said that he was undecided because of a complaint or something that had reached him. In the morning he said: "Oh my daughter! Bring me all the Hadiths that are with you". I gave them to him and he burnt them..."

Bismillah irrahman irrahim

Assalamu alaikum

there are few ahadith which mention punishment for some one who ascribes something to Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) without full knowledge and subhanAllah amazing was the fear of Allah swt's wrath of these sahaba (ra) that they did not narrate anything unless they remembered word by word what Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) said.

same reason Uthman (ra) gave when some one asked him that why does he never narrates any hadith

at the end Allahu alam

wassalam
