What is the appropriate response to those who cast doubt on the Prophetic hadiths narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, including: "(Our Lord will then uncover His Shin and every believing male and female will prostrate before Him, and there will remain none who used to prostrate in the world for showing off and for gaining good reputation, but will find his back as a single plate, and whenever he intends to prostrate, his back will become stiff)", and hadiths about Allah's manifestation and seeing Him, and the Hadith of the Secret Counsel (Najwa): (".. He says: Allah will bring the believer near and cover him with His screen and ask him: Do you know such and such a sin? Do you know such and such a sin? He will say: Yes, O my Lord. Until when He makes him confess all his sins and he thinks that he is doomed, Allah will say: I concealed them for you in the worldly life, and I forgive them for you today. Then he will be given the book of his good deeds. As for the disbeliever and the hypocrites, the witnesses will say: 'These are the ones who lied against their Lord.' Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers"), and the hadith of Nikah al-Mut'ah (temporary marriage), and the hadith of the woman who offered herself to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?
Whoever doubts or mocks authentic hadiths that speak of the unseen, such as the events of the Gathering (Mahshar) and the Bridge (Sirat), or hadiths about temporary marriage (Nikah Mut'ah) (which was abrogated), or a woman offering herself to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is either an atheist or a false claimant to rationality and enlightenment. These slanders address unseen matters whose essence the intellect cannot grasp, and authentic hadiths are consistent with the Quran in describing the Hereafter. Nikah Mut'ah was a legitimate temporary marriage at the beginning of Islam, then it was abrogated. And a woman offering herself to the Prophet was permissible. Faith in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim is based on in-depth studies that prove their authenticity.
