We found a narration in the book of Bokhari which the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) came to the mosque and heard that someone was reciting. Then the prophet bade '' God's mercy be upon him. She recited some verses that I had forgotten.
One of faults that denies the validity of the book of Bokhari and Mosalam is an insult that has been attributed to the prophets of God in this book. We have mentioned some of its examples in the following address
One of these insults is forgetting the verses of the Quran. Bokhari and Mosalam have narrated in the book '' Sahih''
حدثنا رَبِيعُ بن يحيى حدثنا زَائِدَةُ حدثنا هِشَامٌ عن عُرْوَةَ عن عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها قالت سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ في الْمَسْجِدِ فقال يَرْحَمُهُ الله لقد أَذْكَرَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا آيَةً من سُورَةِ كَذَا حدثنا محمد بن عُبَيْدِ بن مَيْمُونٍ
حدثنا عِيسَى عن هِشَامٍ وقال أَسْقَطْتُهُنَّ من سُورَةِ
كَذَا تَابَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بن مُسْهِرٍ وَعَبْدَةُ عن هِشَامٍ
حدثنا أَحْمَدُ بن أبي رَجَاءٍ هو أبو الوليد الهروي حدثنا أبو أُسَامَةَ عن هِشَامِ بن عُرْوَةَ عن أبيه عن عَائِشَةَ قالت سمع رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ في سُورَةٍ بِاللَّيْلِ فقال يَرْحَمُهُ الله لقد أَذْكَرَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا آيَةً كنت أُنْسِيتُهَا من سُورَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا
One day, the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) entered the mosque and heard that a man was reciting some verses of the Quran. Then he said '' God's mercy be upon him; he has reminded me such and such a verse from such and such Surah
Isa has narrated from Hesham that the messenger of God bade (he reminded me some verses); I had omitted them from such and such Surah.
Ali Ben Mashar and Abde have narrated this narration from Hesham in this way.
Aeshe has narrated that a night the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) that a man was reciting the verses of a Surah. Then he bade '' God's mercy be upon him; he has reminded me such and such verses from such and such Surah that I had been slave at the beginning.
There is no doubt that this matter is a vulgar insult to the last prophet and the forgetfulness of the prophet takes the trust of the people to him away. Moreover, this matter is in contrast with the purpose that God had in sending the prophets because if the man had not recited the forgotten verses, the prophet would not have remembered them and they omitted from the Quran. The prophet may have forgotten other verses; therefore, we have not got familiar with them.
The purpose of presenting these matters
There is no doubt that the purpose of issuing these matters is to deny the memory of the prophet and it proves that the prophet made mistakes in preaching the religion and memorizing the Quran. And he was not able to support his permanent miracle.
This purpose has been followed and issued by the enemies of the Islam and Jewish people that have just become Muslim in order to deny the legitimacy of the Islam religion and the reason of the Quran. However, unfortunately, these matters have been narrated in the Sunni most valid in widely.
Another purpose of designers and issuers of these matters is to degrade the rank of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) because the followers of Saghife should demonstrate the personality of the messenger of God in a way that Umar and Abubakr can be his successors. On the other hand, they have understood that they cannot promote the rank of Abubakr and Umar to the rank of the prophet; therefore, they have tried to degrade the rank of the prophet so that there is little equivalence between the prophet and his successors and consequently, they can be considered as the successors of the messenger of God.
Most of the Sunni dignitaries have narrated from the son of Umar that it took twelve years for Umar Ben Al-Khatab to learn the Surah of Baghare
عن بن عمر قال: هتعلم عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه البقرة في إثني عشرة سنة فلما أتمها نحر جزورا.
Abdullah Ben Umar has said '' it took twelve years for Umar Ben Al-Khatab to learn the Surah of Baghare. When he could learn it, he killed twelve camels in order to thank God for that.
It is natural that a person with such talent and memory cannot be the successor of some one. Moreover, he recited the verses of the Quran before Gabriel conveyed them and God has given the first and the last knowledge to him. The supporters of the caliph have made some narrations which this matter has no fault because the prophet himself did not have strong memory and talent and he forgot the verses of the Quran.
In addition, the supporters of the caliph understood that Umar Ben Al-Khatab forgot some verses of the Quran and his opinions were against those opinions. to justify these matters, they have tried to prove that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) forgot the verses of the Quran and he even omitted some verses in the Quran so that no one could find faults in the caliph.
For example, the fatwa of mistake of Umar about marriage portion of women is well known.
598ـ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْم قال حَدَّثَنَا مجالد عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قال خطب عُمَر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه الناس فحمد الله وأثني عليه وقال ألاَ لاَ تغالوا فِي صدق النساء فانه لاَ يبلغني عَن أحد ساق أكثر من شيء ساقه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أو سيق إليه إلاَّ جعلت فضل ذلك فِي بيت المال ثم نزل فعرضت له امرأة من قريش فقالت يا أمير المؤمنين كتاب الله عز وجل أحق أن يتبع أو قولك قال بل كتاب الله عز وجل فما ذلك قالت نهيت الناس آنفا أن يغالوا فِي صدق النساء والله عز وجل يقول فِي كتابه «وَآتَيْتُمْ إِحْداهُنَّ قِنْطاراً فَلا تَأْخُذُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئا» فقال عُمَر كل أحد افقه من عُمَر مرتين أو ثَلاََثًا....
One day, Umar Ben Al-Khatab was reciting some sermons, he said after praising God '' no one is allowed to overindulge in marriage portion of women. If I am informed that someone pays more than what the messenger of God paid or she will be paid, I will leave additional marriage portion to Beit Al-Mal. when he stopped sermonizing, a woman from Ghoreish Tribe objected to him '' O' Amir Al-Momenin! Is the book of God is appropriate to be followed or your remarks? Umar said '' of course, the book of God is more appropriate. Why are you saying such remarks? The woman said '' now you are preventing people from overindulging in the marriage portion of women whereas God has bade in his book '' if you have paid a lot of money to her (as marriage portion), do not take back something from it''. Then Umar said '' all of people are more aware than Umar''. He repeated this sentence three times.
In addition, his famous fatwa about Timem is against the words of the Quran, if someone has wet dreams and does not have water, she or he should not pray.
Mosalam Neishaburi has written in the book '' Sahih''
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أتى عُمَرَ فقال إني أَجْنَبْتُ فلم أَجِدْ مَاءً فقال لَا تُصَلِّ فقال عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ يا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ أنا وَأَنْتَ في سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فلم نَجِدْ مَاءً فَأَمَّا أنت فلم تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أنا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ في التُّرَابِ وَصَلَّيْتُ فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما كان يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَضْرِبَ بِيَدَيْكَ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ تَنْفُخَ ثُمَّ تَمْسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَكَفَّيْكَ فقال عُمَرُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يا عَمَّارُ قال إن شِئْتَ لم أُحَدِّثْ بِهِ.
A man came to Umar and said I have had wet dreams, but I did not find water ( to ablute. what should I do?) Umar said '' do not pray''. Amar that had taken part in there said to Umar '' can't you remember that you and I were in a war and both of us had wet dream and we did not find water. However, I covered myself in dirt and prayed. Then the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) '' it was enough for you to cover your hands with dirt, shook it and then you performed the mash ritual on your face and the wrists of your hands with your hands''. Then Umar said '' O' Amar! Fear from God.'' Amar said '' if you want me, I will not talk about it''.
It is natural that if Umar Ben Al-Khatab had remembered the verse
«فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا ماءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعيداً طَيِّبا....»
He would never have issued such fatwa.
If the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had forgotten the verses of the Quran and had omitted them from the Quran, there would not have been any problems for the caliph and his excuse would have been more acceptable than the excuse of the messenger of God.
The verses of the Quran and forgetfulness of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants):
It is clear that forgetfulness of the verse of the Quran by the messenger of God is one of clear lies that is in contrast with the Quran, wisdom and tradition because if the prophet cannot keep the verses of God that is his permanent miracle, we cannot trust such person in preach religion and doing God mission. Hence, such person cannot have the qualification of receiving revelation and doing mission.
God says clearly in the Surah of
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسىَ. إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الجَْهْرَ وَمَا يخَْفَى‏. Al-Ala/ 6-7
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
God has promised to his prophet absolutely in this verse that he will never forget the verses of the Quran; especially he has used the word '' Sin'' that proves the progression of recitation. Then God mentions an exception with the phrase '' Ela Ma Shah Allah'' in order to establish his power and in fact, he admonishes the prophet that God can take back this mercy from you if he wills and makes you forget verses.
This exception emphasizes on this fact that the prophet will not forget the verses of the Quran because this lack of forgetfulness is a mercy from God and God will never deprive his prophet from this great mercy and forgetfulness is in contrast with the origin of mission and the purpose of prophecy.
This kind of exception can be seen in other verses. For example, in the verse
وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ خالِدِينَ فِيها ما دامَتِ السَّماواتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا ما شاءَ رَبُّكَ عَطاءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذ.
Hud/ 108
And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: a gift without break.
There is no doubt that if someone enters the heaven, he will not leave there. In this verse, God wants to consider this as an exception with the sentence '' Ela Masha Rabk'' in order to make others know'' although the heaven is a place that you can live there forever, it does not take the power of God away and it does not mean that God cannot dismiss you from the heaven.
Hence, the exception in the verse
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسىَ. إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الجَْهْرَ وَمَا يخَْفَى
Has such meaning not the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had forgotten something and God had made him remember it.
Unfortunately, to justify and blindly defend from the narrations in Bokhari and Mosalam, they have tried to misuse this sentence in the favor of themselves and to prove that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) forgot the verses of the Quran, but God reminded them to the prophet through any means, reciting the same verses by one of companions.
