Birthplace of Ali Ibn Abi Talib - Sunni Views

Sunni Views

Some Sunni scholars regard the Mustadrak as an unreliable hadith collection. . Sunni believe that religion should not be based upon hearsay and unreliable words. Ka'aba was conisdered holier even during the time of ignorance(Jahiliyyat), so how they could enter kaaba for giving birth to a child. Also the Islamic prophet, Muhammad was not born inside Kaaba, so how could someone else born there.

Some Sunni scholars credit a tradition found in Sahih Muslim, which states that Hakim ibn Hizam, a rich Meccan convert to Islam, claimed he was born in the Kaaba.

A hadith like this has been transmitted on the authority of Hakim b. Hizam (Imam Muslim) said: Hakim b. Hizam was born inside the Ka'ba and lived for one hundred and twenty years. (Sahih Muslim, Book 10, Number 3662)

This claim is advanced at one Sunni website, where it is pointedly stated that Hakim ibn Hizam was the only person ever to be born in the Kaaba.

Some researchers believe his root goes back to Rostam (the Persian Hero) . This point of view is not widely accepted. Most of Sunni Scholars believe it does not have historical support .

Famous quotes containing the word views:

    A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
