Hadith of the ten with glad tidings of paradise Hadith of the ten with glad tidings of paradise The Islamic prophet, Muhammad, specified ten of his companions who were promised paradise. Those companions named in this hadith are referred to as The Ten With Glad Tidings Of Paradise (; "al-`Asharaa al-Mubasharûn bi-l-Janna"). Muslims put different weight on this hadith, the majority of the Sunnis, viewing it as very favourable whilst the Shiites dismmissed it in its entirety. This hadith was narrated in three collections by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, and Ibn Majah. The Sunni collection of hadith, called the "Kutub al-Sittah" (six major hadith collections), includes: "Sahih al-Bukhari", "Sahih Muslim",
Criticism of Hadith to be obsessed with isr’iliyyat, i.e. tales from Jewish lore about earlier prophets. According to author Israr Ahmed Khan, traditional methods used to establish authenticity of hadith rely almost entirely on the personal characters of the reported narrators, and fail to pay enough attention to the actual content of the hadith being evaluated. Among the problems he sees in the traditional hadith analysis are: the inability of some narrators to maintain preciseness of the report, textual conflicts among reports, ignoring textual analysis when the hadith was reported by a narrator of good character, and probability of fabrication of hadith.
