A Muslim
Do you want to know more about him?
Can you handle the truth?
It is reported in none other than …
The most authentic hadith book according to the Sunni school of thought.
Quoting
Sahih al Bukhari Volume 5, Book 57, Hadith 61
“Allah's Apostle said, "Fatima is a part of me, and he who makes her angry, makes me angry."”
“The leader of all the women in paradise”
And …
“The leader of all believing women”
Reported in Sahih al Bukhari.
Volume 4, Book 56, Hadith 819
So that is the status of
Fatimah (a).
You would think people would respect her, treat her well and not hurt her….
However ……………
The same book states:
“Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died.”
Reported by Aisha, Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Hadith 325
So for six months Fatimah (a) was angry with Abu Bakr and stopped speaking to him!
Whoever angers Fatimah (a) angers the Prophet (s).
Whoever angers the Prophet (s) angers ALLAH.
What great crime brought on the anger of the daughter of the Prophet of Allah?
A woman of virtue and patience.
She repeatedly asked Abu Bakr to give back Fadak. A piece of land that was gifted to her by her father.
Abu Bakr had usurped it!
He refused to give it back to her.
He claimed that Prophets (a) don’t leave inheritance!
If he was speaking the truth, then why didn’t the DAUGHTER of the Prophet (s) know that she would have no inheritance?
Didn’t the Prophet (s) of Islam speak to her about inheritance?
In reality the Prophets (s) do leave inheritance.
The Quran says:
{27:16} “And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir,”
Sulaiman was a king, he inherited the kingdom and wealth of his father.
Both were Prophets!
So who was speaking the truth?
Fatimah (a) or Abu Bakr?
Even the wives of Prophet Muhammad (s) inherited his possessions, including land.
How did Imam Ali (a) react?
It is written in Sahih Muslim…
“So Abu Bakr refused to hand over anything from it to Fatima who got angry with Abu Bakr for this reason. She forsook him and did not talk to him until the end of her life. She lived for six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah.
When she died, her husband. 'Ali b. Abu Talib, buried her at night. He did not inform Abu Bakr about her death and offered the funeral prayer over her himself.”
In the same Hadith Aisha goes on to say:
“He (Ali) had not yet given allegiance to him (Abu Bakr) as Caliph during these months.”
Sahih Muslim Book 019, Hadith 4352:
Imam Ali (a) did not give the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr for six months.
Don’t the Sunni scholars say that Abu Bakr was elected and all the companions accepted him?
The truth has been hidden.
Do you want to know more?
Again, can you handle the truth?
Tabari,
The greatest sunni historian ever, writes about the event when Imam Ali (a) refused to give his allegiance to Abu Bakr ………
“Umar Ibn al-Khattab came to the house of Ali. Talha and Zubair and some of the immigrants were also in the house. Umar cried out: "By God, either you come out to render the oath of allegiance, or I will set the house on fire."”
History of Tabari volume 9 page 187
The great Sunni scholar ibn Qutaybah writes:
“When news reached Abu Bakr that the people had gathered in the house of 'Ali and were refusing to give bayya, he sent Hadhrath Umar in their direction.”
Umar said:
“I swear by He who controls the life of Umar, if you people do not come out of the house I shall set fire to it, and everyone inside shall perish.”
The people said “Abu'l Hafs (Umar), Fatima (daughter of Rasulullah (s)) is also in this house”.
Umar replied:
“'I do not care about this, people should leave the house of 'Ali and give bayya'”
Shocking isn’t it?
But there is more ……
Ibn qutaybah continues to write:
Sayyida Fatima then said: “I testify before Allah (swt) and his Angels that you (Abu Bakr and Umar) have upset me, you did not keep me happy and I shall complain to Rasulullah (s) about this when I see him.”
Abu Bakr then said “I seek protection from Allah's anger and your anger”.
At that moment tears filled Abu Bakr's eyes and Sayyida Fatima said
“I shall curse you in every prayer.”
The door of her house was set on fire and she was physically attacked. She died of her injuries six months later carrying the grandson of the Prophet (s) in her womb.
These Narrations are sahih.
Is that all?
No.
Many other crimes were committed.
Imam Malik writes in his Muwatta:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said regarding the Martyrs of Uhud:
"They are the ones for whom I testify."
Abu Bakr said:
"Are we not their brothers, O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.)? We accepted Islam like they did and participated in Jihad like them?"
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) replied:
"Yes! But I do not know what you (will) do after me."
Al Muwatta Book 21, Hadith 21.14.32 Kitabul Jihad
Before the Prophet (s) passed away, he said in a speech to thousands:
"Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves?"
People cried out:
"Yes, O' Messenger of God."
Then the Prophet (s) said: "O People! Surely God is my Master, and I am the Master of all believers."
Then Prophet (s) held up the hand of Imam Ali (a) and said:
"For whoever I am his Mawla (master), Ali is his Mawla (master)”
Reported in hundreds of Sunni books including:
Sunan Tirmidhi,
Sunan ibn Maajah,
Al Bidayah wal Nihayah (ibn Kathir)
This Hadith is Mutawaatir.
Many Sunni scholars claim that the word “Mawla” in this Hadith means “friend”. Undoubtedly it doesn’t mean “friend”. The context makes it clear.
It means Master / Guardian.
This Hadith and many other narrations from Sunni books prove that Imam Ali (a) was the true successor of the Prophet (s).
So Imam Ali (a) was supposed to be the immediate successor of Prophet Muhammed (s).
Followed by Twelve other successors.
The Prophet (s) said:
“The religion will continue until the Hour (day of resurrection), having Twelve Caliphs (Khulafa) for you, all of them will be from Quraysh.”
Sahih Muslim, Volume 3, Page 1453, Hadith 10
The word Khulafa implies consecutive successors.
Thus the religion of Islam has Twelve rightly guided Khulafa.
No fewer, no more …... not four.
Only one group of Muslims adheres to the sayings of Prophet Muhammed (s) and believes in Twelve consecutive Khulafa.
Dear Muslim,
Accept the truth even if it hurts you.
