1. Temporary marriage (mut’ah)
Quran 4:24 — “those with whom you have enjoyed” and give them their dowry.
Hadith: Bukhari 5115, Muslim 1404–1405 — forbidden at Khaybar; Umar later bans both mut’as that existed in the Prophet’s time.
Clash: The verse permits a time-limited enjoyment with a prescribed payment. The hadith repeals that permission.
2. Jesus returns
Quran 4:158, 43:61 — raised to God; a sign of the Hour. No descent described.
Hadith: Bukhari 3448–3449, Muslim 155 — descends at the white minaret east of Damascus, kills the Dajjal, breaks the cross.
Clash: The return story is hadith-only. The Quran never says he comes back down.
3. Dead hearing
Quran 27:80, 35:22 — you cannot make the dead hear, nor those in the graves.
Hadith: Bukhari 3980–3981 — at the Badr well the Prophet says they hear what he says.
Clash: The verses deny the capacity. The hadith affirms it.
4. Apostasy
Quran 2:256 — no compulsion in religion.
Hadith: Bukhari 6922 — whoever changes his religion, kill him.
Clash: The verse leaves belief uncoerced. The hadith adds a death penalty the verse never gives.
5. Stoning
Quran 24:2 — a hundred lashes for the fornicator and the fornicatress.
Hadith: Muslim 1691a — Umar: a stoning verse was revealed; stoning is a duty in Allah’s Book.
Clash: One flat lashing penalty in the Quran. Death by stones in the hadith.
6. Sins transferred
Quran 6:164, 35:18, 39:7 — no bearer of burdens bears another’s burden.
Hadith: Muslim 2767 — mountains of Muslim sins placed on Jews and Christians.
Clash: The verses are absolute. The hadith moves the load.
7. Bewitched Prophet
Quran 17:47, 25:8 — “you are only a man bewitched” is the slander of the wicked.
Hadith: Bukhari 5765 — magic worked on the Messenger so he thought he had been with his wives when he had not.
Clash: The Quran treats the charge as a lie. The hadith confirms the charge.
8. Deeds alone
Quran 37:39, 53:39–40 — you are recompensed only for what you do.
Hadith: Bukhari 6464 — none of you enters Paradise by his deeds, not even I, unless Allah covers me with mercy.
Clash: The verses tie the outcome to the deed. The hadith cuts that tie.
9. Theft threshold
Quran 5:38 — cut the hand of the thief. No amount named.
Hadith: Bukhari 6789, Muslim 4494 — the hand is not cut except for a quarter dinar or more.
Clash: The verse states the rule with no floor. The hadith adds a floor the text never mentions.
