BEWARE of Fabricated Ahadeeth (Part 2)

The methodology of Ahlul Hadith (scholars of Hadith) in measuring narrations and sorting out the genuine from the mistaken and fabricated, forms the subject-matter of a great value and importance. They struggled a lot to keep the AHadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) pure from any adulteration and unauthentic sayings of scholars, saints or peers. Thus keeping Islam away from any kind of additions or subtractions.

This short series of fabricated sayings is a humble effort to introduce this extremely wide subject to our readers so they can differentiate between the right and the wrong. Some of the sayings are so popular in our countries; people circulate them for the sake of reward. According to Sh. Muhammad Ibn Saleh Al Othaimeen (Rahimahullah), it’s not permissible for anyone to circulate them unless and until to make people aware that they are fabricated.


Fabricated Ahadeeth:

1. Do these five things before going to bed at night:

2. Give 4000 Dinaars in Sadaqa and then sleep.

3. Read one complete Qur’an and then sleep.

4. Pay the price for Janna’h and then sleep,

5. Make two people happy with each other when they are upset and then sleep.

6. Do one Haj and then sleep.



Hazrat Ali said, Ya Rasulallah! This looks impossible, how will I be able to do it? Then the prophet replied:


1. Reading 4 times Surah Fatiha is equal to 4000 Dinaars giving in Sadaqa.

2. Reading 3 times surah Ikhlas (Qul hu Allahu Ahad) is equal to one complete Qur’an.

3. Reading 3 times any durood is the price of jannah.

4. Reading 10 times Astagfirullah is equal to making two unhappy people happy with each other.

5. Reading 4 times Aytal Kursi is equals to performing one Haj.
