٦. ظاهرة وضع الحديث

hadith became a business due to the popularity and high demand for it. Some people would fabricate hadith to give hope to people during the time of fitna (e.g. read this Surah for poverty, etc.). Others would use fabricated ahadeeth to promote their own selfish desires for example the seller of carrots created hadith such as “…eating carrots strengthens the sight.” In turn the demand for carrots would increase immensely and they would gain the profit for fabricating this hadith. In addition, some had sectarian interests so they fabricated hadith to gain support while others just wanted to create corruption.
