The people of this world threw me into prison, imagining falsely that I was fighting against them. But the Divine decree threw me into prison because I did not speak to them and did not try to reform their conditions. And if I remain alone with just a few of my friends in prison, I will demand a public trial before the authorities of Ankara, concerning the Islamic world, and I will bring the case forward. And by God's will, we will produce multiple copies of the Book of Fruits and the defense pieces in the new script and send them to the important authorities.

Beloved, sincere brothers; These kinds of hadiths belong to the category of ambiguous ones. They are neither individual nor specific, but rather general, and they do not look at specific places. Some of them refer only to a single time period of religious crises that befell his community, and take Hijaz and Iraq as examples. Indeed, during the time of the Abbasids, at that time, the Mu'tazilites, Rafizites, Jabrites, and various hidden sects of heretics and blasphemers who harmed Islam had already emerged. When significant upheavals occurred in the Sharia and creed, many great Islamic scholars such as Bukhari, Muslim, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam al-Shafi'i, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Imam al-Ghazali, Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, and Junayd al-Baghdadi came to the rescue and suppressed that religious crisis. For three hundred years after that time, this victory continued, and yet again, those sects of misguidance, through political means, brought the Hulagu and Genghis Khan crisis upon the Muslims. This crisis is clearly indicated by both hadith and the blessed mention of Hazrat Ali with the same historical reference. Then, since the crisis of our time is the greatest crisis, both numerous hadiths and many Quranic signs inform us with the same historical reference. Therefore, when a hadith clearly states the ignorance that the ummah will pass through in its entirety, it sometimes shows the occurrence of that one event as an example, indicating the historical period. In this regard, the cure of the Risale-i Nur has clearly explained the interpretations of these ambiguous and difficult-to-understand hadiths. In the Twenty-Fourth Word and the Fifth Light, it has explained this truth with rules and evidence.

Error 60, 61, 62, 63: The hadiths cited as evidence are weak and even fabricated, and their interpretations are incorrect and baseless.
Answer: All the ummah has accepted without doubt for a thousand years, and although a few scholars in the Islamic world have judged them to be somewhat weak due to different interpretations, the majority of hadith scholars and the ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) have accepted them. Interpreting various narrations about recent events as allegorical, meaning a possible interpretation, to make them fully consistent with events occurring now and observable to the eye, no learned person in the world can say it is wrong. Even if one of those hadiths is fabricated, the meaning of "fabricated" is "not a hadith," not that the meaning is wrong. Otherwise, the ummah has accepted that narration as a proverb. Those who call such interpretations wrong are not only wrong in many aspects, but they are betraying the consensus of the ummah and denying the hadiths. The claimant who says "There are no hadiths about Sufyan, if there are, they are fabricated," has not read any hadith books, perhaps does not even know how many chapters the Quran has, while learned scholars like Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal and Imam Bukhari, who memorized one million and half a million hadiths respectively, did not dare to make such a general and absolute statement. This claimant has exceeded the limits by thousands of times and committed a great mistake. Even if hypothetically those hadiths are not authentic, they represent a social truth and a real future event that has occurred multiple times in Islamic society.
Error 64: It is against the equality of men and women in inheritance, and since it does not accept civil laws, it is against the revolution.
Answer: To now claim that some verses have been interpreted in an irrefutable way and to hold responsible for the responsibility of those who criticized a couple of verses of the Quran and published Dr. Duzi's book as a forgery thirty years ago, is tantamount to denying those verses of the Quran.

Second point: Those learned scholars have said that some of the narrations in the Fifth Su'ad are weak and some are fabricated, and that some of their interpretations are incorrect. Because of this, an indictment was written against us in Afyon in that style, and we have proven in a table that it contains eighty-one errors in fifteen pages. The respected learned scholars should see that table. One example is as follows:
The accuser said: "All the interpretations are wrong and those narrations are either fabricated or weak."
We also say: To interpret means to say, "This meaning could be the intended meaning of this hadith, it is possible." To deny the possibility of that meaning logically requires proving its impossibility. However, since that meaning is seen and realized as it is, and since the fact that a single instance from the entire layer of allegorical meanings of the hadith appears and shows a miraculous sign to the eyes of this age, it cannot be denied or disputed in any way. Moreover, the accuser's statement that "All the narrations are fabricated or weak" is proven to be wrong in three ways in the table.
First: Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal, who memorized a million hadiths, and Imam Bukhari, who memorized five hundred thousand hadiths, did not dare to deny this and could not prove this negation, nor did they see all the hadith books. The majority of the ummah in every century have expected the meanings of these narrations to appear or to see one instance of the whole, and the ummah has come very close to a unanimous agreement. Since some of the actual truths have already appeared and been seen in the form of examples and instances, to deny all these narrations entirely is wrong in ten ways.
Second: The meaning of "fabricated" is "this narration is not an oral or chain-based hadith," not that its meaning is wrong. Since the ummah, especially the people of truth, discovery, and some of the hadith scholars and people of independent reasoning have accepted and expected the realization of their meanings, it is certain that these narrations have general truths that are observed, like precedents and examples.
