Post # 8 Narration of Ayesha RA and Ibn e Abbas RA. What we have discussed already is enough for the proof that narration of Ibn e Abbas RA is preferred over narration of Ayesha RA. But it can also be proven by rule 2 (Which we mentioned) that The one confirming is higher and more acceptable than one negating To Understand this rule I asked my friend Ruhan Madni about it and he said: It is a simple usool that we sometimes use in hadith literature, but is also sometimes misused by people who have no ground in fiqh and its usool (like al albaani). This rule that The one confirming is higher and more acceptable than one negating is specifically used in the context of ahadith or incidents where for example a companion says The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said he will go to jannah and some other companion says The Prophet didnt speak about him. In this case, the one who says He said is above and more acceptable than the one who says He didnt, because the latter says this because of his Laa Ilmi and lack of knowledge or lack of presence. After understanding this rule lets read Imam Nawawi R. Imam Nawaw R states that: Ma’mar bin Rashid (rah) said regarding the difference between Aisha (ra) and Ibn Abbas (ra) that Aisha (ra) was not aware about this (completely) whereas Ibn Abbas (ra) was, So when Ibn Abbas (ra) is proving it while some others are doing Nafi of it then It is a (Principle) that Masbat (Proof) takes over Nafi (rejection). The result of all (proofs which have been shown) is that it is pre dominantly established amongst many ulama that Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw Allah with his eyes on the night of Ascension as the hadith from Ibn Abbas (ra) and others have been mentioned before, the proof of which comes from Prophet (Peace be upon him) hence there should be no doubt about it. (Sharah Sahih Muslim) By the grace of Allah Almighty we Say: By All means, Hadith of Ibn e Abbas RA is preferred over the opinion of Ayesha RA and it is Madhab of vast Majority of Ummah that Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) saw Allah. If someone says saying of Ayesha RA is in Sahih Bukhari that is why it is more preferable than Hadith of Ibn e Abbas. In Sha ALLAH in next post we will answer this question. Wallahu Alamu Wa Billahi-t-Taufeeq.
