Allah states: “Have you seen those whom take their Desires as their God? Are you then their Enabler?
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.25, V.43)
Let’s talk about Mufti Abū-Layth
Nahiem Ajmal is their Real-Name, by the way. They’ve made quite the Name/Reputation for themselves, for a Long-Time, via their Self-Proclaimed Religio-Scholarship (and/or lack-thereof). However, they’ve particularly embarked upon something very dangerous. This Particular-Thing is literally attacking one of the most Respected Religio-Scholars amongst Muslums since the Revelation of The Qur’ān: Muhammad ibn-Ismā`īl al-Bukhārī. The most Wellknown-Canon of Religio-Academic Work of al-Bukhārī actually bears their Moniker: Sahīh-ul-Bukhārī/the Authentic-Collection of al-Bukhārī. This-Work is known even by Non-Muslims, as a Premier-Source for Revelatory/Textual-Info. regarding al-Islām (relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān). But, sadly, there’re Persons like Abī-Layth whom deem to totally discredit al-Bukhārī…why I honestly don’t even know. What I do know is that, simply as an Islāmic-Academic: al-Bukhārī was (still is Centuries after their Death) Light-Years ahead of the Likes of Abī-Layth, especially via their Mukhtasir/Specialty of Religio-Scholarship known as `Ulūm-il-Hadīth/Hadīth-Science (the Islāmic-Discipline dedicated to the Preservation/Documentation of The Qur’ān & the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition jointly). The Irony is that even the Religio-Opposition to al-Bukhārī, via their Lifetime, praised their Religio-Scholastic Diligence.

Let’s talk about al-Imma`tiyyah (Groupie/Stan-Culture) via “Muslim-Celebrity/Scholar” Culture
Abū-Layth isn’t the Only-Muslim to criticize someone like al-Bukhārī, or any other `Ālim (Muslim Religio-Academic/Scholar). And, really, This-Issue is much deeper than Abū-Layth criticizing al-Bukhārī. What it’s truly about is someone like Abū-Layth, whom knows that there’s a Following which they have, whom outlandishly posture Things regarding Religio-Dynamics/Issues which are quite honestly their Audience doesn’t possess the Objectivity to handle. And, this comes at the Expense of Ignorant/Impressionable-Persons literally rejecting Islāmic-Knowledge (via Revelatory-Texts), without any Justification, simply because their “Favorite-Scholar/Speaker” said so. Their Audience are Dick-Riders, whom’ll literally co-sign anything/everything which they state, via Personality-Worship (Another-Sifah/Manifestation of al-Imma`tiyyah by the way). People whom’re Religio-Groupies of Persons like Abī-Layth are the Reason how/why Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Don’t be an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.”.
(at-Tirmidhī)
Ironically, it’s literally no different than how Rap-Beefs catapult into Street-Violence, for no other Reason than a Person dick-riding what they’ve heard from a Rap-Song, a Rapper-Interview, etc. Just as Allah states: “And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”. Also, Muhammad (Peace be upon them stated: Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth & mocking People.”. As well, Mu`ādh ibn-Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) stated: “Always accept Truth, even if it comes from a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim) or a Fāsiq/Sinful-Person. And, this sets the Precedent for the Islāmic-Principle: “Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8; an-Nawawī; Abū-Dāwud)
Let’s talk about the “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series produced via Abī-Layth
https://youtu.be/X6SfFYRljeY
https://youtu.be/IijbMTxUEOw
I watched both Part-1 & Part-2. I’ve personally commented on both Part-1&2 Videos. I’ve even personally messaged Abā-Layth almost everything mentioned here, almost Word4Word prior to actually authoring this Article. I’m not going to give Commentary upon the Entirety of both Videos. But, what I will do is simply detail some Specific-Things which Abā-Layth literally proves the Depths of their own: Ignorance, Apathy/Arrogance, etc.
Beginning from 5:30 on the Part-2 of this “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series: There’ a Story which Abū-Layth criticizes a Scenario, in which Muhammad (Peace be upon them) witnessed an Unnamed-Companion (May Allah be pleased with them) praying & reciting from The Qur’ān which was removed from the Mushaf/Corpus of The Qur’ān via an-Naskh (Abrogation/Cancelation). This was clearly referring to a Companion whom was reciting something from The Qur’ān which was Mansūkh (Religio-Abrogated/Canceled) as well as striken from the Dhikr/Memory of Muhammad, Mushaf of The Qur’ān, etc.
Equally, it was clear that This-Person was reciting (from Such&Such-Sūrah/Chapter from The Qur’ān) something from The Qur’ān which they learned prior to Those-Āyāt/Verses being Mansūkh. Also, as per the Athar/Non-Prophetic Narration of `Umar ibn-il-Khattāb (May Allah be pleased with them): it was clear that the Āyah/Verse of al-Jamrah/Stonning was as well amongst the Āyāt which were Mansūkh.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.87, V.6&7; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; al-Bukhārī)
As per 15:55 on the Par-2 of this “Bukhārīgate” Video-Series: It was a Known-Fact, that Muhammad (Peace be upon them) were Illiterate & never learned how to read/write. Also, when any Human is dying, then Yes…they do in fact experience Certain-Severities of Dellirium: Muhammad (Peace be upon them) was never spared from this. Also, on their Deathbed, they literally mentioned to their Daughter Fātimah (May Allah be pleased with them), 1-Day prior to their Death: “After This-Day I’ll no longer suffer.”, pertaining to the Agony/Suffering-Of-Death. as-Sakrah/Dellirium is a Sifah/Manifestation of Agony/Suffering, especially via al-Mawt/Death. This particularly pertains to the Dying-Days of Muhammad: they requested Pen&Paper to author/write something, in spite of the Fact that it was Mutawātir/Common-Knowledge that they never learned al-Kitābah/Literacy.

And, moreover: their Claims that Animals never verbally communicated with Anbiyā’/Prophetic-Individuals (Peace be upon them altogether) & them disputing the Sexual-Prowess of Sulaymān/Solomon: they had Fawā’id/Capabilities which no other Kawn/Makhlūq (Being/Created-Thing) had. They possessed Overwhelming-Capabilities to communicate with Terrestrial-Beings like Animals, Jinns/Fire-Beings, Angels, even Allah Themselves, etc. And, Allah gave Primal/Physical-Strength to Anbiyā’ which’re totally unmatched in comparison to Other-Beings. Furthermore, there’s a Difference between a Fitnah/Test & an `Adhāb/Punishment. Anbiyā’ were in fact tested via Deaths/Injuries upon themselves, their Loved-Ones, etc. (Ayyūb/Job [Peace be upon them] as an Ideal-Example). As for Animals being miraculously allowed by Allah to speak…Allah has allowed Infants to speak, and both Animals & Infants speaking are documented as Mu`jizāt/Prophetic-Miracles even prior to the Revelation of The Qur’ān.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.7, V.157&158; Chpt.50, V.19; al-Bukhārī; at-Tabarī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Kathīr)
Also, via the Part-2 Video-Series: Abū-Layth is an Outright-Kādhib/Liar…Allah literally uses the Wording “Radhiyallahu/Allah is pleased”…Multiple-Times via The Qur’ān. So, them criticizing a Hadīth (Recorded/Documented-Narration) of Muhammad stating that Allah was pleased with both `Abdillah ibn-`Uthmān ibn-`Āmir & `Umar ibn-il-Khattāb (May Allah be pleased with them both), claiming that the Wording of the Narration has 0 Islāmic-Validity is a Kadhib/Lie.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.119; Chpt.9, V.100; Chpt.58, V.22: Chpt.98, V.8)
I’ll leave it up to you, the Reader, to make your own Determinations about Abī-Layth…I’ve made my own.
