Hadith e Thaqalayn
‫الحدیث الثقلین‬
Foundation of Shiaism ?
Q & Ans series with the students and fellows of the
.International Institute of Islamic Studies, Egypt
Answered by: Abu Hayyan Saeed
Summary :
The Shi'ism is based on the pillars of Imamate Theory i.e Twelve caliphs from
Quresh,Narration of the pond of Khumm ,Narrations of Kissa,Narration of Mahdi
but the foundation of these pillars is Hadith e Thaqalayn (Saqlain).
This question has been asked by the students and colleagues of the International Institute of
Islamic Studies, Cairo, Egypt, about the status of famous "Hadith Saqlain",(Hadith e
Thaqalayn).
Before strat discussion i ever quote of a Phrase of mine
“Remember our brian in the skull is not a Cap-Stand ''.
I am answering this question but I didn't want to impose my thoughts on people. These are
my thoughts based on the evidence of Asnad,Matun and Darayat of the story of Saqlain
(Thaqalayn) which I consider to be the foundation of Shiaism.
The biggest deception in hadith studies is the ‘Hadith Saqlain’. Imam Muslim bin al-Hajjaj in
his compilation "Sahih Muslim" has taken this biggest fake hadith. This ‘Hadith Saqlain’ is
the foundation of Shiism.
In this hadith, fabricators hit many with one arrow.
Hadith Thaqalayn is the foundation of Shiaism 1
Hadith Saqlain is the basis of Shiites and Rafidis theology. This diabolical hadith has been
fabricated by Majoosi Rafidis. Through centuries All Shia writers have been pin point
referencing and copied this diabolical statement from books of hadiths which we called
“Sahah Sitta”, and All Shia writers hysterically feel very proud to quote this diabolic
narration in their favor to prove the Funny Theology of Imamate, Ahle Bait,Kissa,Khum e
Ghaddir, Mahdi, etc.
The questions I often ask are “why did the compilers of Sahah Sitta take these fake and
fabricated narrations in their Books” ?? Were they lost in their senses or their creed was the
reason to input these types of gossip in their Sahah Sitta?
But unfortunately, I didn't get any reasonable answer from the Worshippers of Sahah Sitta for
decades.
Let us know who is the main narrator of Hadith Thaqalayn in Sahah Sitta ,he is
Muslim Ibn Al-Hajjaj Nishapuri, born in 206 AH and died in 261 AH, Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj
was born in the town of Nishapur in the Abbasid province of Khorasan, in present-day
northeastern Iran, was a collector of hadiths. In history, people said that he was the
memorizer of half a million (500,000) hadiths. He collected all kinds of gossip in the name of
hadith from all over the world.
During his multiple visits to Basra, Kufa, Baghdad, Khorasan, Nishapur, Hijaz, Yemen, Syria,
Egypt, etc, He was adopting hundreds of thousands of fake and fabricated traditions from the
people he met.
He narrated hundreds of fake and fabricated traditions in his book named “Sahih Muslim”.
The hadith of Saqlain (Thaqalayn) is one of them which is the foundation of Shiaism. Shia
writers proudly cite the Saqlain narrations from Sahah Sitta, calling them Sunni Compilers.
Shiite knew very well about the six compilers.
There are dozens of books and thousands of articles by Shia scholars based on Thaqalayn
gossip which have been taken from six books of so-called Sunni muhaddithin.
For example, I refer to Sahih Muslim # 2408a ,# 2408b , #6225 because this is the “Blue
Eyed Baby” of Shia Scholars for hundreds of years.

Translation:
Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam
and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that
you saw Allah's Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered
prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard
from Allah's Messenger (‫)ﷺ‬. He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have
forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger (‫)ﷺ‬, so
accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then
said: One day Allah's Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as
Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the
sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am
about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in
response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among
you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right
guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He
exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are
the members of my household. I remind you (of your duties) to the members of
my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the
members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the
members of his family are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who
are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the
offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance
of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.
