The question

What is the authenticity of the Hadith of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari which mentions that the divine books are one hundred and four books, and that Allah revealed fifty scriptures to Seth, thirty to Idris, ten to Abraham, and ten to Moses before the Torah, in addition to the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the الفرقان (Al-Furqan - the Criterion/Quran)?

The answer

A Muslim must believe in all the books revealed by God, which are unknown in number, such as the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the الفرقان (Qur’an), in addition to the scriptures of other prophets like Abraham and Moses. A weak hadith from Abu Dharr mentions their number as one hundred and four books, but scholars have deemed it weak due to the weakness of its narrators.
