Qur'an, 48:18

[IjazAhmad]

Salamun Alaikum! Brother Joseph..

I've been reading your articles and your forum. I want to say thank you! I was convinced one month ago that bukhari & co were not to be followed. Alhamdulillah.

But I have some questions.. If we don't follow ahadith then how will we know about these verses/Surah? Surah 111 and verse 48:18.

Who is Abu Lahab in Surah 111 and Who are the believers that gave bai'a under the tree in 48:18??
Is this important to know? Because many bukhari believers ask this questions and I have no answer to give them.

Can you please shed some light?

Wassalam! / Ijaz Ahmad
