FIRST PART: AN ACCOUNT OF THE
LOFTY BOOKS OF THE CALIPHATE SCHOOL IN FIGURES WHERE
SEEF'S TRADITIONSHAVE FOUND THEIR WAY INTO:
Despite the fabrications, fables and distortions which we
had observed in Seef's traditions and also the fact that
Seef had been well-known for these qualities, his
traditions have extensively found their way into the
Islamic texts and authentic documents of the Caliphate
school.
Their eminent scholars have painstakingly narrated his
fables and traditions in their respective books!
In order to reveal this bitter and rather astonishing
truth, we shall put forward in this part of our
discussion the list of scholars who have narrated
traditions from Seef and also the names of books which
these traditions have been recorded in:-
A: The learned scholars who have written biographies
for the Holy Prophet's companions. They have mentioned
the false names of the companions fabricated by Seef to
be a part of the real companions of the Holy Prophet
like:

pronunciation guide books so that no error is made when
uttering these names! how amazing!?

full of fables have been reflected in the following lofty
and authentic historical books:-
| 40) Ibne-Khayat 41) Balazari 42) Tabari 43) Ibne-Athir 44) Zuhbi 45) Ibne-Kathir 46) Ibne-Khaldun 47) Suyuti | 240 A.H. 279 A.H. 310 A.H. 630 A.H. 748 A.H. 771 A.H. 808 A.H. 911 A.H. | Tarikh-e-Calipha Fatuh al-Baladan Tarikh-e-Tabari Tarikh-e-Ibne Athir Tarikh-e-Islam Tarikh-e-Ibne-Kathir Tarikh-e-Ibne-Khaldun Tarikh al-Khulafa. |
294- The author has referred to the hand-written
manuscript of this book in the library of Shaikh-ul-Islam
in Medina and found that this book has recently been
printed.
I: Seef's fables which were connected to special
instances have found their way into the following books
which have been specially written about that particular
matter:-
| 48) Ibne-Kalbi 49) Ibne-A'rabi 50) Al-Askari 51) Ghanad Jani 52) Abu-Na'eem 53) Balqaini 54) Qalqashani | 204 A.H. 231 A.H. 395 A.H. 428 A.H. 430 A.H. 805 A.H. 821 A.H. | Ansab-ul-Khail Asmah-ul-Khail Al-Awa'el. Asmah Khail al-Arab. Dala'el an-Nabuwah. Amr al-Khail Nihayat al-Arab. |
J. Books on Arabic literature too contain a great portion
of these fables. For example:
| 55) Esbahani 56) Ibne-Badrun 57) Ibne-Abil Hadeed 58) Al-Muqrizi | 356 A.H. 560 A.H. 655 A.H. 848 A.H. | Al-Aghani Commentary on the odes of Ibne-Abdun Commentrary on Nahjul-Balagha. Al-Khatat. |
K: The lexicons too are not devoid of Seef's fables like:
| 59) Ibne-Manzur 60) Zubaidi | 711 A.H. 1205 A.H. | Lisan-ul-Arab Taj al-Arous. |
L: Anyhow, wherever you look into, you will discover the
effects of this cunning fox - even in books of hadith
such as:-
| 61) Tirmidhi 62) Ibne-Manadah 63) An-Najirmi 64) Al-Yahsabi 65) Muttaqi Hindi 66) Ibne-Hajar | 279 A.H. 427 A.H. 451 A.H. 544 A.H. 975 A.H. 852 A.H. | Sunan-e-Tirmidhi, famous as Sahih Tirmidhi Tarikh-ul-Mustakhraj min-Kitab an-Nas-Fi Hadith Usul-e-Masmuaat Al-Almah Kanz-ul-Ummal Fath-ul-Bari |
M: Taking into account all these factors, it is but
natural for Seef's name to fall in the category of liars
and fabricators of hadith in the books which have been
written for the recognition of such group of people. For
example:
| 67) Aqeeli 68) Ibne- Jauzi 69) Suyuti | 322 A.H. 597 A.H. 911 A.H. | Az-Zu'afah Al-Mauzua'at Al-La'ali al-Masnu'ah. |
