FabricatedExample

Seek knowledge even unto China.

In none of the canonical collections. Hadith scholars classify the narration as fabricated.

    A reel makes a religious claim: a hadith, a ruling, a promised reward.

  2. 2Copy the link

    Paste it into Bayan. No download, no screenshot.

  3. 3Bayan watches it for you

    It fetches the reel, listens to what is said, reads the caption and pulls out each claim.

  4. 4A verdict for every claim

    Each claim is checked against the Quran and authenticated Hadith, with the source or an honest “Not in our sources”.

A verdict you can check yourself

Every verdict carries its evidence. When the evidence isn’t there, Bayan says so instead of guessing.

SupportedExample

The Prophet ﷺ said that actions are judged by their intentions.

إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ

Actions are only by intentions.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1Sahih

Cites or abstains. Nothing in between.

Bayan does not write religious answers from memory. Verdicts come from a curated knowledge graph of primary sources, and every citation links back to where you can read it in full.

  • Primary sources only

    The Quran and authenticated Hadith collections, linked to Quran.com and Sunnah.com.

  • Graded, not just quoted

    Hadith come with their grading — sahih, hasan, da‘if or mawdu‘ — so you can see how strong the evidence is.

  • Honest when it’s unsure

    “Not in our sources” is a real answer. Bayan would rather say nothing than say something wrong.

  • No fatwas, no sects

    Bayan checks what the texts say. Where scholars differ, it shows the positions side by side.

Share the correction, not just the doubt

Answer the forward with the receipt. Publish the verdict as a page anyone can open, or send the whole check privately, so the correction travels as far as the claim did.

Questions

What is Bayan?

Bayan is an Islamic claim checker. You give it a quote, link, image or video, and it checks each religious claim against the Quran and authenticated Hadith, then shows you a verdict with the exact source.

How do I know if a hadith is authentic?

Paste it into Bayan. If it is in the authenticated collections, you get the reference, the Arabic text and its grading. If it is known to be fabricated, Bayan says so and names who classified it. If it is not in its sources, Bayan tells you that too.

Does Bayan use AI to make up answers?

No. AI is used to find the claims in what you submit and to search the sources. The verdict itself must cite a primary source. When no source supports an answer, Bayan abstains instead of guessing.

Does Bayan issue fatwas?

No. Bayan shows what the texts say and where they say it. For questions of fiqh where scholars differ, it shows the positions of the schools side by side. For personal rulings, ask a qualified scholar.

Which sources does Bayan use?

The Quran and authenticated Hadith collections, with references linked to Quran.com and Sunnah.com so you can read them in full.

Can I check a video or a reel?

Yes. Paste the link or upload the clip. Bayan transcribes what is said, finds the religious claims and checks each one.

Is Bayan free?

You can start for free. Paid plans add more video and media analysis each month.
