This doubt means that when Islamic conquests defeated their opposing powers in the first century, permanently ending the foreign empires of Iran, Russia, Turkestan, and Persia, the conquered nations did not take up swords or cannons for revenge, but instead broke the ribs of the conquerors with bombs of hadiths and conspired to distance them from the Holy Quran!
Calling the compilation of hadiths a foreign conspiracy is historically baseless
The revelation that the compilation of Hadith was a conspiracy by non-Arabs did not occur to anyone in the second or third century, even though that period was very close to the times of Hadith compilation. If such a conspiracy had been active in this field, the opponents of Hadith scholars would certainly have exposed it, and the science of Hadith would have been discredited at that time. The Shia, Kharijites, Mu'tazilites, Jahmites, and some other groups would have immediately revealed these conspiracies. It is strange that this knowledge was not known in a timely manner and was discovered only after several centuries had passed. The collection and compilation of Hadith took place from the first century to approximately the third century. There was no shortage of enemies of Islam at that time, yet this conspiracy was never discovered. History is completely silent on this accusation.
Where is the evidence for such a serious conspiracy?
What approach did those who tried to prove such a serious conspiracy take? The prosecution itself is being swept away. Which Imams of Hadith met which foreign kings and where? Who were the witnesses for this prosecution? Was the testimony eyewitness or inferential logical?! The answer to all these questions is nothing but silence.
If there was a conspiracy, then why were the Imams of Hadith punished?
The noteworthy fact is that if the story of conspiracy is accepted for a moment, then the question arises that when the Imams of Hadith did exactly what those foreign nobles wanted, the purpose of those foreign nobles was fulfilled through the invention and creation of the science of Hadith, which they wanted to achieve from Islam and Muslims as revenge after political defeat. Then why did they imprison the Imams of Islam and the leaders of the Sunnah? Why were they flogged?
What should be said about the Ummah of thirteen centuries?
Knowing this conspiracy, if the Ummah for thirteen centuries considered this art authentic and organized the system of governance in its light, and enriched the curricula of their madrasas with these sciences, should the entire Ummah be called foolish or dishonest? If not, and certainly not, then how can the great service of the Ummah be described as a foreign conspiracy? The shame is that those who are praised eloquently by the enemy are themselves considered conspirators and traitors.
Teaching to Refer to the Holy Quran in Hadith
What kind of conspiracy is this, in which there is outright service to Islam and propagation of its teachings? A conspiracy would be called such if the teachings of Hadith were contrary to the Holy Quran, but here the matter appears completely different. The truth is that in Hadith there are numerous subjects encouraging people to refer to the Holy Quran, highlighting its importance and virtue; similarly, there are many references in Hadith to Quranic verses as confirmation.
No Connection Between the Claim and the Evidence
It is not enough to simply say that the non-Arabs took revenge after the conquest by composing and creating hadiths, because this is a completely baseless statement. There is no connection or relation between the claim and the argument, and then what did these non-Arabs gain from this conspiracy? They were deprived of material benefit, and the name of Islam was illuminated.
Services of Non-Arab Scholars and Islamic Sciences
If this claim is accepted on the basis that the people who collected hadith were non-Arabs, then no knowledge would have been safe from this conspiracy, neither Arabic lexicography nor any other science. History bears witness that the service of Islamic sciences has often been rendered by non-Arabs.
The famous historian Ibn Khaldun writes: It is a strange fact that most scholars in Islam are of non-Arab origin.
