Hadeeth Translation

Sample Translation(Hadeeth article):



On the other hand, the hadīths that an author will record into his book are
first of all at his discretion. Consequently, one author may open a section with
the name of "The Sin of Lie" and may narrate many hadīths there, but he may
not transmit the " ......... " hadīth due to his preference. For instance,
while this hadīth was not found among the narrations forbidding lying in
Wakī' b. Jarrāh's az-Zuhd,
91
it was extensively mentioned in the Hannād's az-Zuhd.92
But the hadīthin question does not appear with its famous form in the
published parts of Kitāb Dzamm al-kidzbof Ibn Abī al-Dunyā, who was a
pupil of Ibn Abī Shayba, Ahmad b. Hanbal, al-Bukhārī and other contemporary scholars. Hence because he was their pupil, he was expected to know it.
93
Besides, although Kharāitī -who lived in a relatively later era-, had allocated a
chapter for hadīths forbidding lies in his book, he did not put this hadīth in his book.95
So, we may not reach a sound conclusion if we expect that the "....
... hadīth must be found in every section where hadīths forbidding lies
are mentioned.
As a result, Juynboll's claim that the hadīth in question began to circulate in
the second half of the second century A.H. and his other conclusions seem to
be unacceptable because sources like Ma'mar b. Rāshid and Rabī' b. Habīb
transmitted the same hadīth, and because of the methodological criticisms that
were put forward against argument um e silentio. This does not mean that "e
silentio" is useless for the sciences of narration. "E silentio" can be used as further
support without forgetting its shortcomings, along with the employment other
methods.
Abstract:The aim of this article is to investigate the "e silentio" principle that has been used in
the West and whether it is in conformity with the principles of hadīth narration during the
first three centuries, in addition to how it can be supported by currently available data. The
experiment of dating the hadīth of "man kadhaba." with this principle by Juynboll gives us
an idea about its usefulness. Thus, in this article the "man kadhaba." the hadīth is investigated
in the context of at-Tabarani's Turuq Man kadhaba 'alayya. as well as the other fundamental hadīth
literature and Juynboll's findings about the hadīthis examined. This research also provides
opportunities to determine how the isnād and the text of a hadīth were treated in the first
centuries.


على الشق الآخر, الأحاديث التى يوردها المصنف فى كتابه حسب تقديره ابتداء. و بناء على ذلك قد يبدأ المصنف (المؤلف) القسم (الكتاب فى اصطلاح المحدثين) بمسمى خطيئة الكذب و و يروى أحاديثاً كثيرة هنالك, و لكنه قد لا ينقل حديث"................" بسبب اختياره\تفضيله. فعلى سبيل المثال ,مع أن هذا الحديث لم يوجد ضمن المرويات المحرمة للكذب فى كتاب الزهد لوكيع بن الجراح,  فقد ذكرت على نطاق واسع فى كتاب الزهد لهناد بن السرى.
لكن الحديث محل البحث لا يظهر بصورته المشهورة فى الأجزاء المطبوعة من كتاب ذم الكذب لابن ابى الدنيا, الذي كان تلميذا لابن ابى شيبة و أحمد ابن حنبل و البخارى و غيرهم من العلماء المتأخرين (المتأخرين اطلاحاً بالنسبة للنص). من هنا, لكونه تلميذا لهم كان من المتوقع أن يعرفه.  
علاوة على ذلك, فبالرغم من أن الخرائطى الذى عاش فى مرحلة متأخرة نسبيا, خصص فصلاً للأحاديث المحرمة للكذب فى كتابه, فانه لم يضمن هذا الحديث كتابه.
لذا, فاننا قد لا نصل الى استنتاج مقنع, لو توقعنا أن حديث"..................." يجب أن يوجد فى كل قسم يذكر فيه الأحاديث المحرمة للكذب.
و كنتيجة, فإن زعم جوينبول بأن الحديث محل البحث بدأ يستفيض فى النصف الثانى من القرن الثانى بعد الهجرة, و استنتاجاته الاخرى تبدو غير مقبولة لأن مصادر مثل معمر بن راشد و حبيب بن الربيع نقلوا الحديث ذاته, و بسبب الانتقادات المنهجية التى طرحت ضد حجاج سيلينتيو (النتائج المستنبطة من غياب الأدلة). هذا لا يعني أن حجج سيلينتو لا نفع منها بالنسبة لعلوم الرواية, حجج السيلينتو من الممكن ان تستخدم كدعم اضافى مع عدم اغفال أوجه قصورها,  جنبا الى جنب مع توظيف وسائل اخرى.
lملخص: هدف هذه المقالة هو تحقيق مبدأ السيلينتو (النتيجة المستنبطة من غياب الأدلة) الذى قد استعمل فى الغرب و ما اذا كان فيه توافق مع قواعد رواية الحديث فى القرون الثلاثة الاولى. بالاضافة الى كيفية دعمها بالمعلومات المتوافرة حالياً. تجربة تأريخ حديث "من كذب......" باستخدام هذا المبدأ بواسطة جوينبول يعطينا فكرة عن فائدته. من ثم, ففى هذه المقالة, حديث من كذب قد تم تحقيقه في سياق كتب الطبرانى "طرق حديث من كذب على...." بالاضافة الى مصادر اساسية اخرى للحديث ,و مكتشفات جوينبول حول الحديث تختبر(قيد الاختبار). هذا البحث يقدم أيضا فرصا لتحديد كيف كان يعالج الاسناد و المتن فى القرون الاولى.

Egyptian blockade of Ghaza goes on....

Thursday, July 15, 2010



The Egyptian authorities on Tuesday night refused to allow entry of a Jordanian aid convoy called Ansar-1 bound for Gaza into Egyptian territories via the Nuweibi harbor citing absence of security approval.

Head of the convoy and chief of the Jordanian veterinary doctors union Abdul Fattah Al-Keilani said in press statements that the Egyptian foreign ministry had asked its Jordanian counterpart for a list of the members' names.

Keilani said that Cairo refused the entry of 138 members of the 150-member convoy including 17 women.

The convoy organizers held contacts with Jordanian officials to facilitate their humanitarian mission, and decided to stage a sit-in at the Egyptian consulate in Aqaba.

The Holohoax

Since the end of World War 2, and after Germany's defeat, Jew lobbyists all over the world and especially in the united states generated misleading information about the Genocide incidents that supposedly took place during the course of that war.

"One third of the Holocaust" is a documentary that provides strong evidence that the so-called holocaust is far from what was being circulated by Jews all over the world over the past 60 years.

"AUC Lectures in the Nineties" Audio Documentary




Since the American university in Cairo was established in 1919, it played a major role in promoting an understanding across world cultures, regions, and religions. The university being in Egypt, a culturally rich country in every sense of the word, and an eminent country in the Middle East, was an additional asset to AUC’s mission of bringing together various cultures and ideas.

The AUC Administration managed to turn AUC into a melting pot, where cultural understanding is fostered through introducing a wide range of diversity. The faculty members at AUC, the staff, and the students all come from different countries, cultures, and social classes.

The interaction among people from different backgrounds in a liberal environment enriched the lives of many people involved with AUC along the years. Accordingly, AUC over the past century, contributed to culturally shaping many young minds that later became leaders on the Egyptian scene, and in the region of the Middle East like Gamal Moubarak.

The lectures given at AUC were always an extremely essential component to the role of AUC as a bridge, connecting many cultures, views and ideologies.
