Kindly share your views about it ‘Muhammad Tyas Mir Sei Nagar, Kashmir, India May 2011 ‘SAHEEFAH OF HAMMAM BIN MUNABBEH. [Ssheefah means Serol Saheofah Hammam ibn Munabbih is supposedly the earliest known collection of Ahadith compiled by the Sth century scholar Hammam ibn Munabbih, No one knew its whereabouts until the 20th century! Strangely, Dr Muhammad Hameedullah of India/France suddenly came up with its published “translation” in English in 1994, Muhammad Hameedullah of Deccan, India (1908-2002) spent 50 years in France after the fall of Deccan to India in 1948 and exiled himself vo France. He moved to the USA in 1998 and lived with his brother's great grand-daughter until bis death in 2002, In his death confessions he admitted that he was the chief instrament in fabricating the said Sahecfsh, ‘Mullah Tkhwan Sarhadi Afindi applauds Hameedullah’s great “discovery” (in Paris) as the earliest work of Hadith. He says, “The Saheefh Hammam ibn Munabbih was prepared by Hazrat Abu Huraira for his pupil Hammam ibn ‘Munabbih Abu-Hurairah died in $8 A.11/677 CE, Hammam ibn Munabbih died in 101 A.11J/719 CE.” It consists of 138 Ahadith that can also be found in Sahah Sittah with similar content and chain of narrators tap dhwwrw mubashirnazir.og(QA/000800100222-Sahifaim 1“ sipot7 Was Sahita Hamam lon Muni fake? | visited Hameedullah in Nov 2002 along with some friends to meet with him and to check on his health. During the visit, hhe asked us to pray for his forgiveness, Hacodullas said that he had done the forgery in good faith and only when he was losing his Faculties due to senility, He admitted plagiarizing from the SAILAH SITTAN. His intentions? "To provide some credibility to the Hadith literature that is being challenged by some Quranie voices.” ‘Where was the Arabic original discovered? “In the basement of my house in Pars.” Sir, where is the original Arabic scroll? He answered, "I don't know why T burned it” Why did it remain hidden for 12 centuries and how did it end up in Paris? Why wasn't it translated by anyone before? ‘Why did't anyone hear about it or mention ita all through these centuries? "I dont know", he sai [Think and reflect] Now the English 'Sahecfa' is very much there and Mullahs are using it to mislead people, S: Some Mullahs have recently claimed that Dr Hameedullah had discovered the serol in 1960 in Pais. Dear Brother Assalam o alaikurm | don't believe in this sory due to the following reasons 1 Dr. Hameedulla’s level is so high that we eannot accuse him just on the basis of cain of a person. We do not know the claimant, Does he have any proof of hs claim? Was there any witness of his conversation with Dr? Had he recorded the conversation? 2. Another scholar Dr. Rifat Fauzi has conducted research on the manuscripts of Sahifa, See the following link, Is he also a forger? Dbup-imajles alukah net/showthread php?t=20872 Dr. Rifat has consulted another manuscript avaiable in Cairo (this was not consulted by Dr. Hameedullah), He has given photos of that manuscript in his book. For further details, Dr. Rifat can also be consulted, 3. Two manuscripts were consulted by Dr. Hameedulla of this Sahifa: one in Berlin and other in Damascus. Third one is in Cairo, Copies could be obtained fom the respective libraries, I'l ask one of my teachers about exact name and address cof such lbraties and will provide you soon, Full chain of people from whom the document is transmitted is available here wal r n=28417 4. The claim of this author of burning the scroll is wrong as Dr. Hameedullah did not have any such seroll, He used the both manuscripts available in such libraries. hope this detail is enough to falsify the claim of this guy that: “Where sas the Arabic original discovered? “In the basement of my house in Paris.” Sir, where isthe original Arabic scroll? He answered, "T don't know why I burned it.” Why did it remain hidden for 12 centuries and how did it end up in Paris? Why wasn't it translated by anyone before? Why didn't anyone hear about it or mention it at all through these centuries? "I don't know", he said. [Think and reflect] wassalaam Mubashir PS: I requested Sister Sadida Ataullah, the granddaughter of the brother of Dr. Hameedullah to comment on this accusation through a brother, Naveed Ahmed. Sister Sadida witnessed death of Dr. Hameedullah as he died in her apartment. She commented as follows: ‘As Salaam alaikum ear Brothers, Naveed and Mubashit ‘Thank you for asking me to comment on the website you sent. As a general rule, I let Dr, Hamidullah's scholarship speak for itself out of respect for his work. But in tis situation, I need to tell you what 1 know. tap dhwwrw mubashireazirg@QA/000800\002%2-Satifaim 2a sipot7 Was Sahita Hamam lon Muni fake? hope you both own a copy of Sahifah Hammam in English translation by M. Rahimuddin, Ifyou don’t, let me know and | will ty to get you a copy. | spent some time reading the blog and I am amazed at what I saw at the website hip!Iree-minds ore/forum/index php? opic=16523.0.wap2 . In my humble opinion, French, German and other Europeans invested time and money in acquiring ‘Arabie Manuscripts from around the world. Today many places like Bibliotheque Nationale of France, Princeton, Harvard, British library are all going online and providing access to gems that have been preserved for centuries without ‘our knowledge. Before the early 20th century, most leamed people in Islamic countries knew Arabic and so there was no real need to ious literature. Dr. Hamidullah's grandfather, Muhammad Sibgetullah Madrasi was the First person in 1860's to write about Islam in Urdu. Much ofthe Islamic literature available in English in the 18th and 19th centuries was done by Orientalists to discredit the people that they were cofonizing. translate reli Just because I don’t know something does not mean it does not exist, Allah Knows all things and is The Granter of Knowledge. After doing a cursory search on the internet and then saying something is false is foolish, It does not meet the high levels of ethical conduct required of Muslim Scholars. $o needless to say, it was very upsetting to read what the author fas to say. ‘To my knowledge there were a Jeast 4 Manuseript (MS) copies of the Sahifeh Hamman available: ‘+ Belin MS, # 1384 WE 1797 in the catalogue of Arabic manuscripts in the state library (Staatsbibliothek) in Berlin and moved in 1939 to the city of Tubingen.

It was available in Arabic and copies existed in Caio, Istanbul, Musul, Damascus and Germany, ‘The First published copies with notes by Dr. Hamidullah appeared in this order ‘+ Arabic inthe Majallat al Majma’ al ilmi, 1953, Damaseus Syria ‘+ Revised 2nd edition appeared in 1984, The Arab Academy, Damascus, Syria .

Rahimuddia not Hamidullah, twas also translated by different people and published in French, Turkish and other languages. ‘The Nizam (Rulet) of Hyderabad sent Dr. Hamidullah to represent the State of Hyderabad at the UN Security Couneil ‘meeting on 17 September 1948, Until today, the illegal occupation of the state of Hyderabad by India is an issue thet remains alive in the UN. Dr. Hamidullah could not accept citizenship of Pakistan, India or any other country, as a consequence of this outstanding issue, and felt the only moral option for him was to remain a Stateless Person. In 1996, at the age of ninety, his family brought him to the USA. He lived with (his brother's grandchildren from 1996 until his death {in December 2002. My father’s father, Muhammad Sibgathullah was his older brother. By November 2002 Dr, Hemidullsh was no longer receiving visitors, All news about his health, his books and the medicel care he was receiving up until his death was released with the help of Islamic Society of North America.

After hhe moved to USA, the Islamic Society of North America helped to bring his personal papers and books to the United States. Scholars have access to these papers by appointment with the Muhammad Hamidullah Center for Islamic Research and Dialogue, www:mcisd orgs this is the trust that was established to provide ths service, I wonder if these gentlemen are aware that Dr, Hamidullah did not accept the prize money that came with the Hilal i Imtiez and the medal was returned to the Pakistani embassy?
