Hadiths
are peculiarly cultural, hence are filled with idiosyncratic whims of the ancient Arabs. This is why Muslims to this day seek
to live life like they did in ancient times. If Allah said to live like Mohammad, then this is the best way to live.
Mohammad was obviously a very superstitious man. His superstitions became part of a religion that must be adhered to for eternity.
Flies' wings:

- I
heard the Prophet saying, "Fever is from the heat of the (Hell) Fire; so cool it with water." Bukhari V4 B54 N484

and grant him peace, forbade a man to eat with his left hand or walk in

- The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you eat, eat with your right hand and drink
with your right hand. Shaytan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." Muwatta 49.4.6
Wipe with left
hands only (no less than 3 stones and no facing Mecca:) - Your Prophet teaches you everything, even about excrement. He replied: Yes.
He has forbidden us to face the qiblah at the time of easing or urinating, and cleansing with right hand, and cleansing with
less than three stones, or cleansing with dung or bone. Dawud B1 N7
Satan sleeps in your nose:

Mohammad first ordered
all dogs killed, then decided to have only the black ones killed:
- Allah's
Messenger ordered us to kill dogs, and we carried out his order so much that we also killed the dog coming with a woman from
the desert. Then Allah's Apostle forbade their killing. He said: It is your duty to kill the jet-black having two
spots (on the eyes), for it is a devil. Sahih Muslim B10 N281
- The Prophet said:
Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. Dawud

Mohammad
said he split the moon in two. To this day, Muslims believe the moon was split, and that this is legitimate proof of Mohammad's
miracle.
- During
the lifetime of the Prophet the moon was split into two parts and on that the Prophet said, "Bear witness (to thus)."
That the Meccan people requested Allah's Apostle to show them a miracle, and so he showed them the splitting of the moon.
The moon was split into two parts during the lifetime of the Prophet. Bukhari V4 B56 N830-832
All water is pure, even filthy water - I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (peace_be_upon_him): Water

of God? Really?
- Then it will be said
to the Jews, “What did you use to worship?” They will reply, “We used to worship Ezra, the son of
Allah.” It will be said to them, “You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son.” Bukhari
V9 B93 N532S
Mohammad was an animist. Animism was adopted into Islam:
Female monkey commits fornication so other monkeys stone her:
- During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance
I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse.
I too, stoned it along with them. Bukhari V5 B58 N188
Palm
trees cry when they miss their religion:
- The Prophet used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said.
"O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He replied, "If you wish." So they made a pulpit
for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child!
The Prophet descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet said,
"It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it." Bukhari V4 B56 N784
Food speaks
and glorifies Allah:
- Once we were with Allah's Apostle on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said,
"Bring the water remaining with you." The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand
in it and said, "Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah." I saw the water flowing from among
the fingers of Allah's Apostle , and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was being eaten (by him). Bukhari
V4 B56 N779

trees:

stomach lies:

said, Let him drink honey." The man again came and said, 'I made him drink honey but that made him worse.' The
Prophet said, 'Allah has said the Truth, and the abdomen of your brother has told a lie." Bukhari V7 B71 N614
But the Koran says Muslims get silver goblets in heaven:
- Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A person who drinks from a silver vessel
brings the fire of Hell into his belly." Muwatta 49.7.11
