There it is folks. If not believing that the Prophet ever physically punished someone himself makes me a kaffir, then by all means call me Kaffir #1. Now, Br. Fahad Sani also agrees with me that the Prophet never carried out the punishment himself so is he in this category too now?
As usual terrible reading, where did I bring up kufr? I said you resemble the kuffaar in their stubbornness. It's obvious to everyone that when you chose to attack Bukhari for one of his narrations you didnt think of the verse or the shia narrations, but once they were shown to you instead of admitting your mistake, which is what a truth seeking person would do, you come with excuses one more ridiculous and pathetic than the other and at the same time contradicting each other. That is pure stubbornness, it is not a truth seeking mentality.
Only you would argue limbs versus extremities. I stand corrected as I was using limbs to mean hands and feet when clearly limbs are arms and legs and extremities are hands and feet.
After having said that, nothing changes in our discussion since the Prophet did not and could not cut off anyone's hands, feet, arms, legs other limbs, extremities or appendages.
Give it up man, nobody believes you. After having employed anything at your disposal to save face, you now try it with the whole "I dont believe the Prophet did such a thing". Unfortunately for you, what you wrote earlier stands as proof against your new excuse, so let's see how the discussion went and what you said:
Sure they killed the shepherd - the punishment of which is death, not maiming and eye-gouging.
Here you were discussing what is appropriate, not whether or not it was the Prophet who did it. If it was about the person, you shouldnt even bring up this.
These people were not at war with the Prophet and hence this would not be applicable to them.
Here again, you were attacking what is applicable or not, not discussing who did what.
Appropriate punishment for the crime behooves the Prophet.
Here again you are talking about what is appropriate as if the punishment wasnt appropriate.
And by the way also contradicting directly what you last said, here you apparently admit that the Prophet can punish other people as long as it is approprate unlike your last statement that the Prophet would never punish. eye gouging and crucifixion are completely different. What about the killing by thirst? Also these people were not at war with Allah or the Prophet so again, does not apply.
Here again you are discussing what is applicable, not what is merciful.
These people came to the Prophet so there were clearly not at war. They killed someone and should be punished as murders. Plus the ayah calls for either...or punishment and not all of the above. and of course nothing about the thirst.
Again not a single word about who did it and how merciless it is, just what is applicable and just.
Yes, the Prophet while just was also Merciful. His administration of punishment would always fit the crime.
Here you literally say his
administration, not the person which further shatters your excuse that it was about the Prophet and that you were objecting to whether "it fits the crime" or not.
(6) Do you still stand by your statement that the verse does not apply to the one who steals and kills?
Yes.
Here again about what is applicable not what is merciful.
I have a problem with wrong punishment for wrong crime.
They stole - cut off their hands but why their legs?
They gouged his eyes - gouge back
They killed him - kill them
Still don't know why their legs were chopped and why they were not given water and killed while thirsty.
You may believe the Prophet capable of this things but not me.
Here again you are contradicting yourself. You literally say "You may believe the Prophet capable of this things but not me" after you just said that it's ok if their hands are cut off their eyes are gouged out and that they are killed, you just had a problem with the feet and the thirst.
Then you make this 180 and say:
The Prophet (saw) was a mercy to all the worlds. As such, he never once raised his hands or swords at anyone. Not in any war and not to punish anyone.
But let me cut this short very quickly. I have two questions for you:
(1) Are you saying that the verse I quoted is devoid of any mercy?
(2) You consider a person being merciful if he doesnt do a merciless act himself but
ORDERS(not adviced, not suggested, not inspired, no ORDERED) other people to do that for him? For example, if a president of a country doesnt kill anyone himself but orders his military to bomb innocent children and women, he still might be a merciful guy to you? This definitely would explain a lot.
Or do you think Yazid, if he didnt kill Hussain himself, just ordered it was being merciful?
