In today’s Bukhari Sunnah lesson, we will look at a hadith alleged by Bukhari which should render all Muslims who fight and kill each other, Kafiroon (Unbelievers)

The above hadith by Bukhari is listed under a sub-chapter that he named: الإنصات للعلماء , i.e. Listening to the Ulamma (The Knowledgeable), which is under a chapter that he named: العلم , i.e. The Knowledge
The message of the above hadith is very simple, it is alleged that the prophet said in the last ceremony the following while the people were listening:
Do not return after me Kuffar (unbelievers), when some of you strike the neck of the others.
Now, I am not really sure if there is any sunnah in the above allegation, but let’s assume that there is, therefore it should simple be as follow:
Those Muslims who fight and kill each other, MUST BE KAFIROON, i.e. UNBELIEVERS
Well, it’s really strange that Bukhari included such allegation at least 150 years after so many Muslims fought and killed each other, including the following Muslims:
1- Ali ibn Abi Talib
2- Aysha
3- Aysha's two brothers-in-law Talha and Zubayr ibn al-Awwam
4- Abd Allah Ibn al-Zubayr
5- Muˁāwīya ibn ˁAbī Sufyān
And so many more
Therefore according to Bukhari, the above mentioned Muslims along with thousands of Muslims back then, and millions of Muslims now days, MUST BE KAFIROON, i.e. UNBELIEVERS, this is because they struck the neck of each other, i.e. they faught and killed each other, and not to my surprise, according to Bukhari, so many Muslims now days who are following path must be kafiroon.
Now, if Bukhari believes in his allegations of hadith, then he should have also believed that Aysha and Ali returned Kafirs after the prophet death.
Finally, what exactly the above allegation has to do with 'Knowledge" or "Listening to the Ulamaa"? Absoutely nothing
