Sayyidi Younus AlGohar's answer to a viewer's question about the authenticity of Prophetic Traditions.
Main points:
- The Prophetic Traditions which have been narrated by Prophet Mohammad are the only ones which are authentic, whether the Sunnis believe them or the Shiites. What needs to be judged is which Prophetic Tradition is authentic and which is inauthentic.
- A true scholar and a true Imam should not be dependant upon the narrations. A true scholar is one who receives spiritual benevolence from the chest of Prophet Mohammad. You would only obtain the spiritual benevolence from the chest of Prophet Mohammad if you were connected to the chest of Prophet Mohammad.
- You are searching the books for the answer. You are searching the books because the knowledge which made you a scholar is the Exoteric Knowledge. And the knowledge which makes you a true scholar comes from the chest of Prophet Mohammad and that is called the Esoteric Knowledge.
- There is only one criteria: to establish a connection with Prophet Mohammad and directly ask Prophet Mohammad whether or not he narrated this Prophetic Tradition. Otherwise, the Sunni and Shiite Prophetic Traditions are available in the books.
- Therefore, the Prophetic Traditions narrated by Prophet Mohammad will be verified by Prophet Mohammad. And the Prophetic Traditions which were not narrated by Prophet Mohammad are allegations upon Prophet Mohammad and he will turn his face away from them.
- The entire Koran was revealed upon the Prophet Mohammad, therefore Prophet Mohammad is the Bearer of the Koran. One who established a connection with Prophet Mohammad will obtain everything.
