78. 3 Tabari i. 3028. ^ Sha^n. THE LEGAL SUPPLEMENT 83 That the whole system of the Oral Law did not escape ridicule in certain quarters is natural. There were the objections to which allusion has been made, the fact that the traditionalists themselves confessed to lapses of memory, so that one of these persons is represented as quoting someone else for an assertion which he himself had made : " I was told by Munkidh, who heard it from me, who heard it from Ayyub " ; ^ and the fact that there w...ere contradictory traditions dealing with the same matters. Then the content of many traditions was clearly fabulous and calculated to bring the system into ridicule, e. G. That the Prophet said the thickness of an Unbeliever's skin in hell will be forty divine cubits, or that the wind is not to be abused because it is the breath of God. Further, the traditionalists were taunted with being ignorant and often unable to compose correct Arabic. It could be replied that a man might be a good tradi- tionalist without being a good grammarian ; that the collecting of traditions of various degrees of proba- bility was for the purpose of criticising them and selecting those of which the genuineness stood proper tests ; and the charge of stupidity could also be rebutted.
