The canonical Islamic accounts of Muhammad’s life are full of contradictions

Killing women and children is justified in a hadith in which Muhammad waves away those who object. “It is reported on the authority of Sa’b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.” (Sahih Muslim 4321)

But then there is this: “During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah’s Messenger disapproved the killing of women and children.” (Sahih Bukhari 4.56.3014)

So did Muhammad authorize the killing of women and children, or did he forbid it?

This is just one of many such contradictions that can be found in the Hadith literature. They point to the fact that most or all of these traditions were not recording what Muhammad actually said and did, but were fabricated in order to give the weight of Muhammad’s authority to the views of a particular faction. Then the other faction would invent a competing story in which Muhammad said just the opposite.

Hadiths are merely hearsays and cannot be taken as serious.

those who insist in the unquestionable immutable authenticity of Hadith should begin by killing Turks and end by sipping camel urine for therapeutic purposes

Chapter: Fighting against the Turks


Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Turks; people with small eyes, red faces, and flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather. The Hour will not be established till you fight with people whose shoes are made of hair."

Chapter: To treat with the urine of camels


Narrated Anas:
The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron.

In-book reference	: Book 76, Hadith 9

if they can't do any of the above, then they should not preach that Hadiths were never modified or unquestionable or unadulterated
