How can we consider some hadiths as "authentic" when they contradict the Holy Quran, especially those mentioned in "Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim," such as the hadith about "the strength of thirty men" and "yawning is from Satan," knowing that the Prophet forbade lying about him? How then do we distinguish the authentic from the fabricated, and has Allah commanded us to follow Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim?

We regret that some dare to criticize prophetic hadiths, describing them as "ridiculous," without possessing sufficient expertise in hadith sciences, the Arabic language, and Islamic history, while they avoid criticizing other fields for fear of exposing their ignorance.

Regarding the hadith about the Prophet's (peace be upon him) strength, it is an estimation by some Companions and not a prophetic saying. The Companions are human; they err and they are correct. There is no blame on whoever believes in the correctness of their estimation, and there is no blame on whoever does not believe in it. God granted extraordinary physical strength to others, as in the story of Talut.

As for the hadiths about Satan spending the night in the nostrils, scholars have two interpretations: 1. Metaphorical: An expression of the nose's impurity after sleep, or of laziness in prayer, and it is a custom of the Arabs to attribute what is repugnant and detestable to Satan. 2. Literal: Satan enters the nose, and the command to blow the nose (Istinthar) for ablution and purification has been given. A sound mind dictates respecting the boundaries of the unseen world and not judging it by the rules of the manifest world.
