The unsound claim by Layman on Hadith
A certain person still wrote a very Vicious letter to
Hadhrat Sheikh R A stating that this hadeeth is completely fabricated, entirely
contradicts the ayats of the Quraan Kareem
"And your Rabb has said ask of
me and I will accept ... "When my
servants ask from Me then indeed i am near,. ," and also against reason,
that it creates a poor opinion of Allaah Ta'ala etc.
Hadhrat Sheikhul Hadeeth R A very calmly gave an explanatory
reply,
"You have said there is open contradiction between the Quraan and
this hadeeth, whereas to me the thought of it is also impossible. You have stated
this hadeeth is fabricated, as yet I have not found any reference stating the
same.
" For more detail on this reply please refer to 'Kutub
