There it was announced that the prayer was about to be offered. The space under two trees was cleaned for Allāh’s Messenger . Then he offered the zuhr (noon) prayer , and, holding ‘Alī’s(radiallahu taala anhu) hand, he said: Don’t you know that I am even nearer than the lives of the believers? They said: Why not! He said: Don’t you know that I am even nearer than the life of every believer? They said: Why not! The narrator says that he said while holding ‘Alī’ s hand: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Befriend the one who befriends him (‘Alī) and be the enemy of one who is his enemy. The narrator says that after this ‘Umar ( bin al-Khattāb(radiallahu taala anhu) met ‘Alī(radiallahu taala anhu) and said to him: O I bn Abī Tālib!

Manāwī has written in that when Abū Bakr and ‘Umar had heard the Prophet’s saying — One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master — they said to
‘Alī : O son of Abū Tālib! You have become the master of every male and female believer, morning and evening (for ever).”

O ‘Alī! Congratulations
Dhahabī has said in Siyar a‘lām-in-nubalā’ (2:623, 624)
Hadith2
“Abū Hurayrah has narrated that one who fasted on 18 Dhul-hijjah will receive a reward equal to 60 months of fasting. This was the day of Ghadīr Khum when the Prophet , holding ‘Alī bin Abī T ālib’s hand, said: Am I not the guardian of the believers? They said: why not, O messenger of Allāh! He said: One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. At this ‘Umar bin al-Khattāb said: congratulations! O I bn Abī Tālib! You are my master and (the master of ) every Muslim. (On this occasion) Allāh revealed this verse: Today, I have perfected your religion for you.”

He is my master and the master of every believer ( and) one who does not acknowledge him as his master is not a believer.”

Few people particularly the Shia have fabricated stories about Hazrat Umar radiallahu taala anhu Slapping bibi fathimatuz zuhra radiallahu taala anhu, and other stories about him burning thier houses etc , All these are fake as you can see from these References how
he regarded the Ahle Bayt , the people from the Wilayat began, The Ahle Bayt .
People should understand that there are two legacies of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam , one is the Spiritual Legacy and saintism which continued from the Progeny of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam and then to Awliya .
And the other legacy is outwardly , The Legacy of Dominion which continued through the Rightly Guided Khalifas beginning from Syedina Abu Bakr Siddique radiallahu taala anhu
Both the legatees gave support to each other whole heatedly

What u have quoted is absolutely correct except the last part where u say that shias have created fake stories about Hazrat Umar ill-treating Janabe Zehra.
ReplyDeleteBrother all these things are found in reputed sunni books(including sihah-sitta), then how can u accused shias for creating stories.
The other thing which is to be noted is, if Hazrat Umar was having such a high respect for Fatima(as) then why he denied her property- Fadak which was gifted by Prophet(pbuh) during his lifetime?
After all She was also Siddiqa(truthful).
Why janabe Zehra(as) were unaware of the tradition of inheritance quoted by Abu Bakr?
Why her witnesses were not accepted by Umar and Abu Bakr?
Why Sunni brothers have not taken traditions from Janabe Zehra and Hazrat Ali(as) in their reputed books while traditions from Hazrat Aisha are in abundant?
If knowing they(Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar) had denied her right then is it not hypocrisy?
To know more about Hazrat Umar and his contribution in Islam(all from sunni books) please refer : umar-ibn-khattab.blogspot.com
can you quote any authentic ref from authentic Hadith where hazrat Umar RA ill treated Her, i am sure you can not find any singe authentic narration..
DeleteAFA fadak is concerned ..among Ahlul Sunnah its known fact that Prophets do not leave an inheritance and doesn’t need clarification, and as for the Shias, then here it is:
Al-Kulayni narrated in Al-Kafi from Abi Abdullah, he said: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, and the prophets did not leave a dinar or a dirham, but they left knowledge…

"O’ daughter of the Prophet! I didn’t love anyone as much as I loved your father, nor anyone after him is more loving to me as you are. But I swear by Allah that if these people assemble here with you, then this love of mine would not prevent me from setting your house on fire."

Salahuddin Khalil al-Safadi another Sunni scholar in his book ‘Waafi al- Wafiyyaat’ under the letter ‘A’ while recording the view of Ibrahim Ibn Sayyar Ibn Hani al-Basri, well-known as Nidhaam quotes him to have said: "On the day of ‘Bay’aat’ (paying allegiance), Umar hit Fatimah (sa) on the stomach such that child in her womb died."
Why do you think an 18 year old young lady was forced to walk with the help of a walking-stick? Unbelieveable acts of cruelty and oppression had led Hadhrat Fatimah al-Zahra (sa) to lament: "Such calamities have visited me that had they descended on the day it would have darkened it.”She fell into bed till she was martyred as a results of these calamities and injuries while she was just eighteen years old!
ReplyDeleteDuring her last days, when Abu Bakr and Umar sought the mediation of Imam ‘Ali (as) to visit the ailing Hadhrat Fatimah (sa), as quoted by Ibn Qutaybah, she tured her face to the wall when they greeted her and in response to their plea for appeasement reminded them of the prophetic declaration that one who displeases Fatimah (sa) has displeased the Prophet and finally said: "I take Allah and the angels to be my witness that you have not pleased me; on the other hand, you have angered me. When I shall meet the Prophet (S) I will complain about you two.”(al-Imamah wa al-Siyasah, by Ibn Qutaybah, v1, p14).
For the same reason, she willed that those who have hurt her should not participate in her funeral rites and that she be buried at night. al- Bukhari in his Sahih attests to this fact that Imam ‘Ali (as) complied with the will of Lady Fatimah (sa). al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Aisha that:
... Fatimah became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him, and did not talk to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she died, her husband ‘‘Ali, buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by himself.

Howsoever they tried, people failed to locate her grave. It was known only to a handful of Imam ‘Ali (as)’s family members. And to this date, the grave of the daughter of prophet is unknown which is another sign of her unhappiness from some of the companions.
Imam ‘Ali (as) was sent to Fadak, a Jewish town not far from Khaibar to take it. But, before the use of any force, the inhabitants tendered their submission, ceding half of their property to the prophet. When the Angel Gabriel revealed to the Prophet the Divine Command as in the Verse 26 of Chapter XVII (17)
ReplyDelete"And give unto one who is of Kin (to thee) that which is due”(17:26)
and the Prophet asked as to who was meant as "being of Kin". the Angel named Janabe Fatimah (sa) and told the Prophet to give Fadak to her (as) as the Income from Fadak belonged wholly to him on account of its being ceded to him without the use of force. the Prophet (S) accordingly bestowed upon Janabe Fatimah (sa) his estate of Fadak for the substinence of herself and her children.
With reference to the above Qur’anic Verse, many Sunni commentators have written that:
when the Verse was revealed, the Holy Prophet (S) asked the Angel Gabriel: "Who are the Kinsmen and what is their due?”The Angel Gibrael replied "Give Fadak to Fatimah for it is her due, and whatever is due to Allah and the Prophet (S) out of Fadak, that also belongs to her, so entrust to her also."
(The above is narrated through al Bazzar, Abu Yala, Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Marduwayh and others from Abu Said al Khudri and through Ibn Marduwayh from Abdullah ibn al Abbas for the above verse)

It leaves no room for us to believe that the Land of Fadak was not the personal belonging of Hadhrat Fatimah (sa)!
"And Solomon (Sulaymaan) inherited from David.”(Qur’an 27:16)
ReplyDeleteWhile both Sulaymaan and David were prophets and very wealthy. they were kings at their era. Allah , Exalted, also says:
"(Zakariya prayed to Allah by saying) ... Grant me a son from yourself, who inherits from me and inherit from the children of Jacob, and make him, O’ my Lord, the one with whom you are well- pleased.”(Qur’an: 19:5-6).
These are examples that Prophets left inheritances, and as might you have seen that they seem to contradict the hadith that was narrated by Abu Bakr.
I will summarize the answer in a few points:
ReplyDelete1) There is very clear proof from the Quran that the Prophets (as) do give inheritence and therefore anything that contradicts that in our narrations must be refused or (if the narration is strong and reliable) explained in a manner that agrees with the Quran.
2) There are narrations from Ayesha for example that she told her father Abu Bakr that she wants her inheritence from the Prophet (saww) and that she never heard of such a narration that the Prophets (as) don't give inheritence.
3) If there was anyone who actually knew if the Prophet (saww) does inherit or not if would be Sayyeda Fatima (as) because: I) She does not lie, 2) She is the on top of all the ladies of creation and Fatima (sa) said that she did not hear anything from the Prophet (saww) of such.
4) As for the narration, what could be meant is that the prophets (as) did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (wealth) as their legacy in the sense that Kings do, where as they leave wealth for their sons or those who come after them (i.e. they did not leave any wealth for the scholars to inherit from them). As for the family issue's, the narration does not indicate in any way that the Prophets (as) don't inherit to their children or wive's, rather what is mentioned is the inheritence to the scholars and that is another issue.
I hope this made some clarification over the issue and I apologize for not providing the sources of narrations mentioned or the exact text, if anyone needs them then please request them and I will - insha'Allah - gladly provide them to you.
