Q 157: Wanachuoni walitafsiri matawi haya vipi?
Q 157: How did scholars interpret these branches?
A--- Baadhi ya wanazuoni wa Hadith waliyahesabu, wakachangia vitabu vingi na kuanzisha maelezo mbalimbali kuhusu jambo hili. Walikamilisha kazi hiyo na kutupatia manufaa makubwa. Hata hivyo, kujua idadi yake si sharti la Imani. Inatosha kuthibitisha imani ya mtu kwayo kwa ujumla. Zaidi ya hayo, hayo ni yale tu yaliyotajwa katika Qur'ani Tukufu na Sunnah ya Mtume ﷺ, ambayo mtu anapaswa kushikamana na amri zake, kujiepusha na makatazo yake, na kuamini habari zake (zinazohusu yaliyopita, ya sasa na yajayo). Hatimaye, yote waliyoyahesabu ni vipengele vya kweli vya imani, lakini kuwa na uhakika kwamba hiki ndicho hasa alichokusudia Mtume ﷺ kama kinavyokusudiwa na Hadith hii ni jambo ambalo hakuna mtu awezaye kulithibitisha.
A--- Some of the scholars of Hadith counted them and contributed many books and introduced various explanations in this respect. They perfected the job and presented (us with) great benefit. However, knowing their count is not a prerequisite of Faith. It suffices to affirm one's faith in them in general. Moreover, they are no more than what is mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah whom one should stick to their orders, avoid their prohibitions, and believe in their news (pertaining to past, present and future). Finally, all that they counted are true aspects of faith, but to be positive about that these are the real intention of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as intended by this Hadith is something that no one can confirm.
