Here are two beautiful a hadith which tell us that there are 360 joints in the human body

Here are two beautiful a hadith which tell us that
there are 360 joints in the human body

Aisha [RadhiyAlluhu Anha] reported Allah's
Messenger {sallallahu alaihi wasallam} as saying:
Every one of the children of Adam has been created
with three hundred and sixty joints; so he who
declares the Glory of Allah, praises Allah, declares
Allah to be One, Glorifies Allah, and seeks
forgiveness from Allah, and removes stone, or
thorn, or bone from people's path, and enjoins
what is good and forbids from evil, to the number
of those three hundred and sixty joiints, will walk
that day having saved himself from the Fire.
Sahih Muslim,book-5, The Book of Zakat,Hadith
no- 2199
Abu Buraydah [Radhiyallahu anhu] narrated I heard
the Messenger of Allah {sallallahu alaihi wasallam}
say:
A human being has three hundred and sixty joints
for each of which he must give alms. The people
asked him: Who is capable of doing this ? He
replied: It may be mucus in the mosque which you
bury, and something which you remove from the
road; but if you do not find such, two rak'ahs in the
forenoon will be sufficient for you.
Sunan Abu Dawud, General Behavior (Kitab Al-
Adab), Book 41, Hadith no- 5222
The Scientific Fact: The joint is a point of
articulation of two bones, a bone and gristle, or
two gristles in anypart of the human body.
The total number of joints, according to scientists,
is:
1- Skull joints: 86
2- Throat joints: 6
3- Thorax joints: 66
4- Spine and Pelvis joints: 76
5- Upper limbs: 32 x 2 = 64
6- Lower limbs: 31 x 2= 62
Total number of joints: 360.
Facts of Scientific Inimitability: The Prophet (peace
be upon him) said that the number of joints in the
human body is 360, although at that time it was
impossible to know such information, for most of
the joints are very small and hard to see with the
naked eye. The exact number of joints was not
discovered until development in the fields of
anatomy and histology.
Thus, the Prophet {sallallahu alaihi wasallam}
accurately pinpointed the number of joints fourteen
centuries ago while modern anatomy came to
assert this scientific fact only recently.
