It means that the people who narrated this (because many people narrate the sayings and these things pass from one person to another person) did not have any memory problems or trust issues. "Sahih" is a classification of sayings and it is the 2nd most trusted classification. The first one is called "Authentic".

Sapporo, I'm sorry I didn't get what you mean (English is not my first language).

Diotrephes, you must remember all the hadith were originally Arabic. It's not about the word "lampoon" because these are translations. Here are other versions:

She said to Abu Bakr: "Your companion is saying poetry against me,"
She then said, ‘O Abu Bakr! Verily, I have been informed that your friend is making defamatory poetry about me.’

"I don't discount miracles at all because they are unfalsifiable"

This is surprising. In other words, you are saying that miracles cannot be proven false? Or maybe you are right. None of the miracles can be proven wrong, how can they ever be?

When we look at the leftover remnants of the Islamic history and analyze it with an objective approach, we can see a whole list of bitter truths. Did you ever imagine why Islam is the ONLY religion with the most BIGGEST AND yet ABSURD claims and miracles? And, why we don't have any proof or historical evidence of these?

I gotta praise Muhammad and his scribes for one thing though. They had no idea what part of the history or Muhammad's sayings should have been written for the future to be seen and what should've been concealed. I highly doubt any authentic Arabian history exists today which can tell us the truth. Any history book of the Arabs that can dare to convey the truth, that can dare to say that the Ethiopian king Abraha never attacked Mecca because if he did, Arabs would be butchered by him and yet we have Muslims and a WHOLE CHAPTER OF QURAN (Surah Fil) that talks about this. We have Arabian history and commentary books that conclude that Abraha was the one who attacked Mecca in order to raze Kabah to the ground BUT UNFORTUNATELY, the man was killed by a flock of magical birds that dropped pebbles on the army. How amazing and mystical.

However, mind you, there are some sensible yet still imbecile Muslims and scholars who try to think semi-broadly and try to conclude a different meaning from the absurd Surah Fil and the Year of the Elephant. But these people are still foolish because they try to debunk an Islamic claim, or I should say, try to extract a different meaning out of it because the original is simply retarded. And, we all know that all Islamic claims are certainly retarded.

So, what's the point of mentioning all this? I just got surprised when you wrote that you don't discount miracles at all because they are unfalsifiable. The question arises, can we EVER find ANY authentic and daring Arabian historical book that dares to give the truth without topping it up with cherries and cream? I'd say it's as hard as impossible.

If you look back at some of the most authentic and recognizable biographies (that also happen to contain the pre-Islamic history and the post-Islamic history i.e. after the death of Muhammad), you can see some parts that are very bitter and reveal the AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF THE ARABS. Because, after all, no matter how hard you try, you cannot conceal everything. There will always be some mistakes left by the evil warlords of the old times.

Let me also clarify one thing here. Arab history and Arabian history books are written none other than by the people we already know such as Ibn Hisham and Ibn Ishaq. These are the people who wrote the Arab history and perhaps were the only trusted historians of the later centuries. In fact, Ibn Ishaq's history of the Arabs and Life of the Prophet is all lost, as far as I know. It was rewritten by Ibn Hisham. So where the hell can we ever find any proof? Unfortunately, we can't. Even if we did have Ibn Ishaq's original work, we still can't forget that he was an Arab Muslim as well so expecting him to write the actual truth would be equal to fooling yourself.

We cannot because the dear Prophet Muhammad left none alive. No enemy of Islam was left alive. The enemies of Islam, the people who witnessed every single thing, the people who challenged Islam, the people who were slightly skeptical and capable of thinking even though they were also pagans and devout believers in all kinds of Gods.

Here's an example of how Muhammad ordered the killing of a female poet who happened to be the mother of five children. What was her crime? She disbelieved in Muhammad and hated him for all his absurd claims.

"When the apostle heard what she had said he said, "Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?" Umayr b. Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard him, and that very night he went to her house and killed her"

"He crept into her room in the dark of night where she was sleeping with her five children, with her infant child close to her bosom. Umayr removed the child from Asma's breast and killed her"

This is why, it's difficult to debunk some of the claims of Islam. Even the pre-Islamic Arabian history has been altered by Islam and given a new meaning. Take for example the Ethiopian king Abraha's story. His story takes place before Muhammad was even born but then as soon as he became a prophet, there comes the hadith, quranic chapters and other bullshits to Islamicize the history.

So the man who killed females for producing poems against him, the man who gave no shit that he's killing a mother who has children, the man who butchered every single witness, every single skeptic who existed? The man who killed every single person or otherwise brainwashed them with the wicked Islamic teachings? He left no one.

There was a Jewish leader and a poet in Medina. He was a JEW, he had nothing to do with Christianity or the pagan idols of the Arabs at that time. If people like him were able to live and pass on the knowledge to their offspring or write books or something that were not destroyed or wasted, we would perhaps have a less dominating version of the Islam today because then evidence would be available.

Do you know what happened to this Jewish leader? By the way, his name was Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf.

"Muhammad made it clear to his companions that he wished Ka'b killed, saying, "Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Muhammad bin Maslama volunteered and was aided by several others, including Abu Na'ila (Silkan bin Salama, Ka‘b’s foster brother). Ibn Maslamah was troubled that this assassination would involve lying to Ka'b, but Muhammad gave him a dispensation to do so.

They took Ka'b out for a walk late at night and killed him."

These stories are from authentic history books of Arabs. We don't have anything except for what is left. And what is left is all the Islamic version of the Arab history so we have technically nothing left except for the little remnants and small sentences that the dear Muslims left for us to read. However, they are enough to let us know the reality of Islam. Fortunately, Islam's claims and miracles are so stupid that merely any logical person would be able to debunk most of them and some others with research.

The truth of the Ethiopion king Abraha is only found in Ethiopian history and stories of what Abraha actually did. So if a pre-Islamic historical story can be edited, modified and exaggerated by a factor of hundred, then we really have no hope for anything that happened after Islam.

I also believe this is one of the reasons why infidels or non-Muslims are not allowed to enter Mecca. If any archaeologist or scientist was to go there and analyze the Arab history, because after all those people cannot hide the traces left on the surface of the earth by their so called "prophet" and his companions.

So, what conclusion am I trying to make? Islamic miracles are not unfalsifiable, they can be very well debunked and their asses can be kicked hard if one is rational and observant enough to make sense of the Arab history. But you might need a magnifying glass to link the parts together and get the whole picture of the truth with the pixels you've collected from hundreds of books. Yes, hundreds of books.

We must NEVER FORGET that the WHOLE ARAB HISTORY has been ISLAMICIZED (converted to an ISLAMIC VERSION). This cannot be undone and this my friend is exactly the reason why it's funny for me when religious people use religious history to criticize or support their religious claims. But thankfully Muhammad was an illiterate. We should thank Allah for that, if you know what I mean :)
