Is it true that prophet Muhammed stoned a MONKEY who committed adultery?

Question

There is a prophetic statement in Sahih Bukhary where prophet Muhammed tells his companions that he saw a female monkey that is being stoned (by other monkeys) because she committed adultery. When prophet Muhammed saw that scene, he helped the monkeys stoning that female monkey!!

That statement really buzzled me:

(1) Is there adultery among monkeys?

(2) Does this mean that monkeys can also legitimately marry and have a marriage licence?

(3) Was that female monkey aware of the consequences of the adultery (can monkeys perceive consequences and laws)?

here is the link for the statement in its original Arabic language:

Answer 1

PLEASE, don't start this up!!! Next thing the friggin monkeys will be looking for adoption rights.
---------------------------

BTW, the Scots on the east coast once hanged a monkey washed up after a shipwreck on the grounds that it was held to be a French spy (they thought the chattering was French).

And some very reformed ministers in the seventeenth century hanged a cow for being a witch.

All weird but all true.

Answer 2

I have no idea where that story came from, but it sounds like BS.

As far as I know, even in Islam, animals do not have free will as humans do.

With the soul comes free will, and with these things come laws and morals. Animals are not subject to the same morals and laws human beings are, and therefore they cannot break our laws. Thus, it is impossible for a monkey to commit adultery. And given this, I find it hard to believe that the Prophet Muhammed would have been recorded as helping monkeys stone a female monkey for adultery.

Answer 3

The Arabic context don't say that, It said that an Invader monkey was stoned by another group of monkeys for trying to take a female of the group.. monkies stones a monkey! Got that? Monkies actually uses this behaviour alot.. They throw stones, wood, any other object on the invaders.

This was Mentioned as someone asked Muhammed: I see other creatures stones each other, like we do in adultery.

This Hadith is to assure that the adulterer must be stoned.. .

The site you copied an pasted states in the begining that the character of "Naim Ibn Hammad" -The last taler - is debatable.. This makes that whole hadith unreliable and doubtful.

The Website Goes on: "This Hadith is Most probably falsified and planted in Albukhari writings.."

You have to be kidding?

That is great. I have heard of spanking bad monkeys but stoning them goes a little too far.

Maybe those monkeys don't know that the law has already been fulfilled, and they are no longer under the old covenant. Probably were never told because Christians have this weird problem with monkeys for some reason.

Answer 5

i never heard of that story being Arab and Muslim my self so i went to the link you suggested , i don't know if you can really read Arabic , but
1) this story was not taken after prophet MUHAMMAD but it was claimed to happened by an ordinary Muslim
2) we only trust in MUHAMMAD hadith and Koran so neither of them claimed that happened ever
3) animals don't know marriage in the first place , but they do know relationships and some of them take only one partner for life , with no obligation of course they are just loyal to each other as modern science proved
4) if you could really read Arabic you would have read the explanation below which refers that this story is sooo weak and never been told by MUHAMMAD it hap pend in YEMEN and our prophet had never been there
5) did you all people finish thinking about all conflicts and wars and what's surrounds us in this desperate world and started caring for monkeys only
GO GET A LIFE

this is not a genie he cought even even though it became devil! and he permit him bypass. and right here is the hadith narated by using Abu huraira which could be a non sahih hadith and because you have searched or got here upon this tale right here why not inspect different considerable issues that could count better than tying devil to a pillar. yet regardless, right here that's... Muhammad choked devil The Prophet as quickly as provided the prayer and suggested, "devil got here in front of me and tried to break my prayer, yet Allah gave me an top hand on him and that i choked him. little doubt, i assumed-approximately tying him to between the pillars of the mosque until you upward push up interior the morning and notice him. Then I remembered the assertion of Prophet Solomon, 'My Lord ! Bestow on me a kingdom which includes shall not belong to the different after me.' Then Allah made him (devil) return together with his head down (humiliated)." quantity 2, e book 22, form 301, Narrated Abu Huraira

...see, this is the problem with "religions"... they "spin" stuff up like pop-corn... no, no. no... Monkeys are not spirit filled. If "whats-his'name" joined in the "monkey see, monkey do" stuff... that was "on-him"... get a copy of The Book and read the Book of John... or go to Blockbuster and rent the movie, The Book of John...great reading, great movie... it will give you some wonderful understanding...
