Assalam alikum I was just wondering what does qarn mean I know it means centry or generation but can it mean a period of time like can 1 qarn mean 1 million years example etc or not if you know what I mean jazzakkallah

Or are you saying the hadith is wrong fabricated

Assalam alikum here is the hadith the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him), when he passed by al-Hijr – which was the dwelling place of Thamood – said: “Do not enter the dwelling places of those who wronged themselves, lest there befall you what befell them, unless you are weeping.” Then he covered his head and hastened until he left the valley. Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). 

Is it possible that the prophet was speaking symbolic because the Arabs were well known to speaking symbolic that is it possible that the prophet wasn't necessary talking about these specific houses tombs what the nabateans built but more saying the land of thamud but by saying houses the prophet ment symbolic the land and not specifically literally houses is that possible or not and if not then how do we explain this hadith because scientific and historic it is fact that the nabateans built these houses tombs and not thamud jazzakkallah

Assalam alikum there is a hadith witch says that muhammad said don't enter the homes of thamud in mada'in saleh but that's the problem these homes were built by the nabtions not thamud so a lot of Christians use this hadith to say muhammad got it wrong and they use verses 27:52 28:58 29:38 22:45 91:14 11:68 to say quran says as well these hoses were built by thamud but they weren't they were built by the nabtions and that is fact so the Christians use this hadith and verses to say the quran and hadith are wrong so how do we explain back to them it is mostly the hadith what is the problem not the verses   because they use this hadith to interpret these verses so it is the hadith what is the most problem and what needs the most explaining so if you could help that would be great
