Al-Suyuti---Help Please

[Mike.Hester]

I am seeking a real Islamic Brain,someone who is not an apologist or shade tree preacher to help me with feed back concerning Al-Suyuti. He was a well known Islamic scholar, but are his writings about the prophet of peace trust worthy? Any feedback would be helpful.

Here is part of the citation. Imam Suyyuti narrates an authentic report in his al-Khasaa’is al-Kubra, vol. 2, page 253 (published by Daar al-Kutub al-Arabiy — some other online editions have this narration in vol. 2, page 441):
If you like I can paste this text in the full later-it is short. Yes you are correct, like most other religions, they are based on 50 times hearsay.
