Explanation

Imam Muslim was gifted with great intelligence and a sharp memory. First of all, he studied Arabic literature and other sciences taught in his times. Later on he developed a keen interest in the study of hadith. He began by learning hadith from the great scholars, including Imam Bukhari, who were at that time in Nishapur. This town, situated in a central place enjoyed great prestige at that time. Afterwards, he undertook long journeys to collect traditions from other scholars of repute. He went to most of the important centres of learning in Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt, where he attended the lectures of most of the important traditionists of his time, including Ishaq ibn Rahwayh and Imam Ahmad ibn Hambal.

After finishing his studies, he came back to Nishapur and devoted his life to the service of hadith. He died in 261/874 on account of having consumed too many dates. One day he was so engrossed in investigating a particular hadith, that he just did not notice that he had eaten all the dates in the container one by one. Consequently, he took ill and died in 874.

Imam Muslim was of an excellent character—honest, truthful and peace-loving. He wrote many books and treatises on hadith, and other related subjects. The most important of his works is hisSahih. Some scholars have regarded it as the best work on the subject. Imam Muslim examined 300,000 traditions before the completion of this book. Out of his large collection he included only 4000 traditions. One great feature of his book is that he selected only those traditions which were free of all defects and were unanimously accepted by the great hadith scholars.

Imam Muslim strictly observed the principles of the science of hadith. He was even stricter than Imam Bukhari in pointing out the differences between the accounts of various narrators, their character and other details. He shows greater ability in the arrangement of traditions.

Moreover, he wrote a long introduction to his book explaining the principles followed by him as regards the choice of the material for his book.

Thanks to the utmost care having been taken in its completion, theSahih of Imam Muslim has been acknowledged as one of the most authentic collections of traditions after that ofSahih al Bukhari. So far as the beauty of its arrangement is concerned, it is held superior toSahih al Bukhari. Although some scholars, including Imam Nasai, held theSahih of Al Muslim superior to that of al Bukhari, the majority of the scholars have held the latter superior, the main reason being that when Imam Bukhari started working, he had no example before him for such a project. His contribution is very great by the virtue of fact that he managed to save all the authentic traditions by collecting them so painstakingly. On the contrary, Imam Muslim hadSahih al Bukhari as an example. He had every opportunity to learn from both its salient features as well as its defects. Imam Muslim himself recognized the superiority of his predecessor.

TheSahih of Imam Muslim is regarded as next to Al Bukhari in accuracy and authenticity. Any tradition which is accepted by both Al-Bukhari and Muslim has been termed as ‘agreed upon’. And these ‘agreed upon’ traditions are considered to be the most reliable.

Imam Muslim has added to his work an introduction to the science of tradition. His work consists of 52 chapters dealing with the common subjects of hadith, such as the five pillars of Islam, marriage, the laws of heredity, war, sacrifice, manners and customs, etc. The book closes with a short chapter on the tafsir (exegesis) of the Quran. The longest chapter, the opening chapter of Sahih Muslim is on Iman.

Correct Answer: D. (3x + 5y)(2x - y)

Explanation

\(6x^2 + 7xy - 5y^2\)

= \(6x^2 + 10xy - 3xy - 5y^2\)

= \(2x(3x + 5y) - y(3x + 5y)\)

= \((2x - y)(3x + 5y)\)

Correct Answer: B) would not bring the Israelites to the promise land

Explanation

The question is asking what God said to Moses when he struck the rock twice for water instead of speaking to it. The options are A. would no longer see Him face to face, B. would not bring the Israelites to the promise land (correct), C. would not see His holiness, and D. would roam in the wilderness for thirty years.

In the book of Exodus, Moses and the Israelites were in the desert, and they were thirsty. God told Moses to speak to a rock and water would come out of it. However, Moses was angry with the Israelites and instead of speaking to the rock, he struck it twice with his staff, and water came out.

God was angry with Moses for disobeying Him by not speaking to the rock as He had commanded. As a result, God said to Moses that he would not bring the Israelites to the promised land. This was a severe punishment because it meant that Moses would not be able to fulfill the promise God had made to him to lead the Israelites to the land of Canaan.

It is important to obey God's instructions, even when we are angry or frustrated. God is a just God, and disobedience always has consequences. We should always strive to obey God's commands and follow His ways. To learn more about this, please read the relevant sections of the recommended textbooks.
