.... the invitation from the governor was made only for him to probably fabricate some Hadith which would benefit the politicians. Many did not follow al-Bukhari's example but allowed themselves to be bought for a price and fabricated Hadiths for the politicians. Even Companions of the Prophet fabricated Hadiths in order to promote their own personal views.

More than ever, I just wanted to be in my nice warm bed with my mother in the next room. I was about 16 at the time. I can imagine ho .....
