Alexander the Great and St Paul said similar. Are they not Allah's words, not Mo's? Plagiarism?
Where does Alexander or paul say this?
How are you doing Shia Muslim? You do have point in your question.. but there are problems in it..
the first problem is those words you wrote in your OP as the words of Prophet of Islam
An Arab is not superior to a Non-Arab, and an non-Arab is not superior to an Arab, and a red person is not superior to a black person, and a black person is not superior to a red person, except in piery"
"Today, all people, the white, the black, the Quraishi, the Arab, and the non-Arab, are all from Adam, and Adam was created from clay"....
are indeed good words but you yourself mention they are from
1). Ghuyat Al-Miram page 313 Sheikh Al-Albani says it is authentic .,
2). Title: Kitab Al-Kafi Volume #5 Page #345Now you should also when those books were published and if they are truly from prophet of Islam, In what context did he say those words?? without such proper inquiry, it is like I say, he said, she said business.
that Kitab Al-Kafi that are
collected/collated by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni is literally 350 years after the death of alleged Prophet of Islam.. and the other one
Ghuyat Al-Miram is worse.. it is sometime around 12th century..
So with that time scale in mind how do we believe those words came out of Prophet of Islam? off course i do agree and understand Quran +hadith words do give impression INDIRECTLY ..All men are equal irrespective of their color creed.. but there are no direct words as you mentioned. But what we have is this "LAST SERMON., Prophet Muhammad allegedly uttered those "noble" words in his "Farewell Sermon" during his last Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca in 632 CE.
here is the alleged Prophet’s entire Farewell Sermon in his original Sira by Ibn Ishaq and others. Ibn Ishaq quotes the Farewell Sermon as follows (p. 651-652):
“O men, listen to my words. I do not know whether I shall ever meet you in this place again after this year. Your blood and your property are sacrosanct until you meet your Lord, as this day and this month are holy. You will surely meet your Lord and He will ask you of your works. I have told you. He who has a pledge let him return it to him who entrusted him with it; all usury is abolished, but you have your capital. Wrong not and you shall not be wronged. God has decreed that there is to be no usury and the usury of 'Abbas b. 'Abdu'l-Muttalib is abolished, all of it. All blood shed in the pagan period is to be left unavenged. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of b. Rabi'a b. al-Harith b. 'Abdu'l-Muttalib (who was fostered among the B. Layth and whom Hudhayl killed). It is the first blood shed in the pagan period which I deal with. Satan despairs of ever being worshipped in your land, but if he can be obeyed in anything short of worship he will be pleased in matters you may be disposed to think of little account, so beware of him in your religion. "Postponement of a sacred month is only an excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one year and forbid it another year that they may make up the number of the months which God has hallowed, so that they permit what God has forbidden, and forbid what God has allowed.” Time has completed its cycle and is as it was on the day that God created the heavens and the earth. The number of months with God is twelve; four of them are sacred, three consecutive and the Rajab of Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha'ban.
You have rights over your wives and they have rights over you. You have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control- of their persons. You have taken them only as a trust from God, and you have the enjoyment of their persons by the words of God, so understand (T. and listen to) my words, O men, for I have told you. I have left with you something which if you will hold fast to it you will never fall into error—a plain indication, the book of God and the practice of His prophet, so give good heed to what I say.
Know that every Muslim is a Muslim's brother, and that the Muslims are brethren. It is only lawful to take from a brother what he gives you willingly, so wrong not yourselves. O God, have I not told you?
Also we have another version from Al-Tabari, well known Islamic scholar and early Islamic historian – also quote the Farewell Sermon that is essentially same (History of Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, p. 112-113):
O people, listen to my words. I do not know whether I shall ever meet you again in this place after this year. O people, your blood and your property are sacrosanct until you meet your Lord, just as this day and this month of yours are sacred. Surely you will meet your Lord and He will question you about your deeds. I have [already] made this known. Let he who has a pledge return it to the one who entrusted him with it; all usury is abolished, but your capital belongs to you. Wrong not and you shall not be wronged. Allah has decreed that there will be no usury, and the usury of Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib is abolished, all of it. All blood shed in the pre-Islamic days is to be left unavenged. The first such claim I revoke is that of Ibn Rabiah b. al-Harith b. Abd al-Muttalib, who was nursed among the Banu Layth and was slain by the Banu Hudhayl. His is the first blood shed in the pre-Islamic days with which I shall set an example. O people, indeed Satan despairs of ever being worshipped in this land of yours. He will be pleased, however, if he is obeyed in a thing other than that, in matters you minimize. So beware of him in your religion, O people, intercalculating a month is an increase in unbelief whereby the unbelievers go astray; one year they make it profane, and hallow it another [in order] to agree with the number that Allah has hallowed, and so profane what Allah has hallowed, and hallow what Allah has made profane. Time has completed its cycle [and is] as it was on the day that Allah created the heavens and the earth. The number of the months with Allah is twelve; [they were] in the Book of Allah on the day He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are sacred, the three consecutive [months] and the Rajab [which is the month of] Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha’ban.
Now then, O people, you have a right over your wives and they have a right over you. You have [the right] that they should not cause anyone of whom you dislike to tread on your beds; and that they should not commit any open indecency. If they do, then Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain from [evil], they have the right to their food and clothing in accordance with the custom. Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from Allah, and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of Allah, so understand and listen to my words, O people. I have conveyed the Message, and have left you with something which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray; that is, the Book of Allah and the sunnah of his Prophet. Listen to my words, O people, for I have conveyed the Message and understand [it]. Know for certain that every Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, and that all Muslims are brethren. It is not lawful for a person [to take] from his brother except that which he has given him willingly, so do not wrong yourselves. O Allah, have I not conveyed the message?
Now the question comes Why those words are not there in Quran which is primary source of all laws in Islam??
although I can not find those "Equality words" in Al-Tabari, or Ibn Ishaq why do we find these things in Shia hadith boos that written way after prophet's death? Think about it Shia Muslim .... I still didn't answer your question but i will in the next post..
