Who is Truthful ??Umar & Abu Bakr OR Janabe Fatima(as)

The two Caliphs were the cause of displeasure to the only daughter of Holy Prophet(s.a.w).They snatched her only source of livelihood and rejected her plea for her property of Fadak.

Janabe Fatima was angry with them till she met her death!!

Here is a brief account of the dispute between Abu Bakr and Janabe Fatima(as) regarding Fadak

Note : Readers should read without any bias and prejudice and should bear in mind that all the references in this post are from authentic Sunni sources.

This article is a reply to those people(e.g. Dr. Tahir Qadri, Irfan Shah, Moulana Ishaaq etc etc) who defend Abu Bakr and Umar and support their views with baseless arguments.It is a reply to all those videos and articles on internet regarding dispute of Fadak.

Fadak was a green fertile village near Medina in the Hijaz region, and it also had a fortress called ash-Shumrukh.

(Mu’jam al-Buldan, Vol. 4, p. 238; Mu’jam Masta’jam, al-Bakri, Vol. 3, p. 1015; Al-Rawd al-Mi’tar, al-Himyari, p. 437; Wafa’ al-Wafa’, Vol. 4, p. 1280). 

Fadak belonged to the Jews. In the year 7 A.H., its ownership went from the Jews to the Prophet (..) under the terms of a peace settlement. The reason for this settlement was that after the fall of Khaybar, the Jews realized the real power of the Muslims, their martial aspirations were lowered. Noting that the Prophet (..) had spared the lives of some Jews who sought his protection, the Jews also sent a message of peace to the Prophet (..) and expressed their desire that Fadak should be taken from them so that their area should not be turned into a battlefield. Consequently, the Prophet (..) accepted their request and granted them amnesty. This land became his personal property wherein no one else had any right or claim, nor could there be any interest because the Muslims had a share only in those properties which they acquired as booty after jihad, whereas property acquired without jihad is called fay’ and only the Prophet (..) was entitled to it. No other person has a share in it. Thus, Allah says the following: “And whatever Allah bestows on His Messenger from them, you did not stir any horse or a camel towards it, but Allah grants authority to whomsoever of His Messengers He pleases; and Allah over all things is all-Powerful” (Holy Quran, 59: 6). 
No one has ever disputed the fact that Fadak was secured without battle. It was, therefore, the Prophet’s personal property to which no one else was entitled. The Historians write:. 
“Fadak was personal to the Prophet (..) as the Muslims did not use their horses or camels to acquire it” 

(Tarikh, al-Tabari, Vol. 1, pp. 1582-583, 1589; Al-Kamil, Ibn al-Athir, Vol. 2, pp. 224-225; As-Sira, Ibn Hisham, Vol. 3, p. 368; Tarikh, Ibn Khaldun, Vol. 2, part 2, p. 40; Tarikh al-Khamis, ad-Diyar-Bakri, Vol. 2, p. 58; Al-Sira al-Halabiyya, Vol. 3, p. 50).

Abu Bakar & Umar were not present in the Funeral of the Holy Prophet (as)

Abu bakr and Umar were not present in the Funeral of the Holy prophet (as).This is also proved from a Authentic books of ahlul sunna with a Sahih Isnaad

U can see the scan pages with a urdu translation.

Is Abu Bakr the rightly guided Caliph???

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Without hurting your feelings I would Like to post a question for all of us to ponder without any prejudice.
Allah (s.w.t.) sent Islam which was explained to us by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.).

Now the Holy Prophet taught us how to pray and he himself used to pray properly and on time.He taught us how to fast and he also used to fast.He taught us how to do Haj, Pay Zakat, and other acts of religion, and he also used to do the aforesaid acts.

Now Allah (s.w.t.) tells in the Quran that a person should make his will before dying. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) also told us to make a will, then is it possible that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) who himself told us to make a will himself would not do so.

Did the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) not make a will and appoint a successor so that there is no confusion about Islam after him.?????
Now there can be two answers to this.

1. He made a will and appointed a successor
2. He did not make a will and did not appoint a successor.

Before we move ahead lets peep in to history and study what happened after the death of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.). and how Abubakar was appointed as the first caliph.

After the death of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) people assembled at a place called Saqifa e Bani Saadat. and there they elected abubakar as the first caliph. Thus abubakar was elected as the first caliph on the whims and fancy of a few people. The details of this is available in various sunni books.

Now coming back to our first answer.

1. The Holy Prophet made a will and did appoint a caliph.

Now if the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) had already appointed a caliph then the people did not have any right to appoint abubakar as the caliph via elections. Abubakr is the elected representative of the people as we elect via general elections he is not the representative of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w). Obeying and following him in now way is incumbent on the people and his  khilafat is in now was justifiable as the successor ship of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) as he was appointed by the people and not the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.). Now if the Holy Prophet had already appointed a caliph then electing some one is going against the orders Allah (s.w.w.) and the order of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.), and is usurping the rights of the rightfully appointed caliph. Thus the khilafat of Abubakar is wrong and against the orders of Allah (s.w.w.) and the orders of the Holy Prophet (s..w.w.)

Now discussing the second answer.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w) did not make a will and did not appoint a successor.

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) never went against the commands of Allah (s.w.w.) and never disobeyed him. His not appointing a successor means that Allah (s.w.w.) did not want to appoint one. Did Allah (s.w.t.) commit a mistake by not appointing a successor to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) and the people rectified it by appointing abubakar. The Holy Prophet not selecting anybody to succeed him means that Allah (s.w.t.) did not want the affairs of the religion to go into the hands of anybody. Thus electing abubakar once against means going against the commands of Allah (s.w.t.). Here also the khilafat of abubakar is against the orders of Allah (s.w.t.)  and the orders of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.).

Thus the khilafat of abubakar is wrong and unislamic. When goes the khilafat of abubakar then automatically goes down the khilafat of umar and usman.

I do not want to  hurt  your feelings and would like to ponder over what I have said without prejudice. I would welcome any comments and arguments and would infact be very happy if some one guides me to the right path if I am wrong.

THE FAMILY TREE OF ABUBAKR WITH REFERENCE

The father of Aboo Bakar was known as "Uthman Aboo Quhafa". The mother of Aboo Bakar  was Salma bint Sakhr . The brother of Uthman was known as "Sakhr" both brothers were sons of Aamer, Aamer is the son of Amr, Amr is the son of Kahb, Kahb is the son of Sa'd, Sa'd is the son of Tim, Tim is the son of Mura. Uthmaan the father of Bakar married  "Salama bint Sakhr bin Amir bin Amr bin Ka’b bin Sa’d bin Taym bin Mura!!" 


Note: This shows that Salama was Abu Quhafa’s niece or in other words his brother’s daughter and from that Abubakr was born!

HOLY PROPHET (S) ORDERED ABUBAKR TO LEAD NAMAZ !!! - DOUBT AND REPLY

Did the Holy Prophet (pbuh) order Abu Bakr, during his illness, to lead the congregational prayers?

REPLY 

Question

The Sunni historians claim that when the Holy was unable to attend the public prayers because of his illness, he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the congregational prayers. Is it true?

General Answer

Some narrations have been related in the Sunni sources concerning the appointment of Abu Bakr by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) as a prayer leader.  In case we accept them, some unacceptable complications and ambiguities will arise.  Even if it is assumed that the Holy Prophet ordered Abu Bakr to act as an Imam (prayer-leader), it is still not clear how it became an "endorsement" of his candidacy for succession because there were other people also whom the Prophet (pbuh) had introduced as eligible for leadership in prayers but no one has considered them as qualified for candidacy for succession and caliphate.

Detailed Answer

The Sunni sources claim that when the Holy Prophet was unable to attend the public prayers because of his illness, he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the congregational prayers, and they put this forward as "proof" that he wanted him (Abu Bakr) to become his successor. There are various versions of this story none of which is acceptable.

Muslim (author of Sahih Muslim) quotes "Aisha" as having said:  The Prophet asked those around him if the time for prayer had come. They said that it had, whereupon he asked them to tell Abu Bakr to lead the congregation. But his wife, Ayesha, said that her father was a very tenderhearted man, and if he recited the Quran, he (Abu Bakr) would cry, and no one would be able to hear his voice. Aisha asked the Prophet (pbuh) twice or thrice to appoint someone else as a prayer leader but he (the Prophet) said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayers; truly, you resemble the women in the story of Joseph."[1]

In another tradition, Aisha is quoted as having said that when the Messenger of Allah became ill (the illness that led to the Prophet's demise), Bilal came to ask the Prophet if he would lead the prayer, and he said: "No, tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayer… truly, you resemble the foolish women in the story of Joseph." We sent out for Abu Bakr and he was with the people offering prayers when the Prophet (pbuh) recovered a bit and he walked out of the house with two men supporting him. When Abu Bakr felt the presence of the Prophet (pbuh), he wanted to step back to let the Prophet (pbuh) lead the prayers but the Prophet (pbuh) signaled him to stay on his place. Then the Prophet stood beside Abu Bakr and he followed him (Abu Bakr). So did the people."[2]

As per the story mentioned in Tarikh al-Tabari, the Prophet asked those around him if the time for prayer had set in. They said that it had, whereupon he asked them to tell Abu Bakr to lead the congregation. But his wife, Ayesha, said that her father was a man of tender heart. She asked the Prophet (pbuh) to order Umar to lead the prayers. Then the Prophet (pbuh) asked them to tell Umar to lead the congregational prayers. Umar said, "I will not precede Abu Bakr as long as he is present." Then Abu Bakr walked ahead and the Prophet (pbuh) recovered a little from the fever. So he went out of the house and when Abu Bakr heard that the Prophet (pbuh) was coming to the mosque, he moved back and the Prophet (pbuh) pulled his clothe and he himself stood in Abu Bakr's place. The Messenger of Allah sat down (offered the prayers in sitting posture) and he continued the prayers from where Abu Bakr had stopped."[3]

DEBATE OF FUZZAL BIN HASAN WITH ABU HANIFA ABOUT ABUBAKR

Once Fazaal bin Hassan (Companion of Imam Jaffar e Sadiq as ) was walking through the streets of kufa with his friend.

He saw that Imam Abu Hanifa was surrounded of some people and those people were asking some religious questions from him.

Fazaal Bin Hassan said to his friend:

‘Today i will not let him (Abu Hanifa) go without unveiling him.’

Friend of fazaal Bin Hassan said:

‘But he is very intelligent man in religious point of view.’

Fazaal Bin hassan Said:

‘Now you will u see how intelligent he is .’

And then Fazaal bin Hassan approached to Abu Hanifa said to him:

“O! Abu Hanifa, there is my brother who use to say that after Rasoolullah, Hazrat  Ali  is best among the people. But I say that there is Abu Bakr and then Umar”

What do you say in this regard?

Imam Abu Hanifa thought for some moments and then replied:

“For the superiority of these two (Abu Bakr and Umar) this is sufficient that they got burial sites next to Rasoolullah. Don’t you know?”

Fazaal Bin Hassan said:

‘Yes I know , when I said this point to my brother he said:

“Either, the place where they (Abu Bakr and Umar) are buried was the property of Rasoolullah . Hence, it not legal for anyone to bury someone on that place without the permission.”

Or.

“It was property Of Abu Bakr and Umar they gave it to Rasoolullah. So again it is illegal for them to interfere in the gift which they gave to Rasoolullah.”

Abu Hanifa again thought for some moments and then replied:

It was property of Rasoolullah. But both Abu Bakr and Umar are buried in the shares of their daughters (Ayesha and  Hafsa) . Because that place was the property of Wives of Rasoolullah after his Wisal (death). This is why Abu bakr and Umar are buried there.

Fazaal bin Hassan Said:

Yes I know I also told him that thing but my brother said :

Rasoolullah left nine wives after his death. So every wife had equal right over that place.

AND SECONDLY IF THE WIVES OF RASOOLULLAH CAN INHERIT THAT PLACE FROM HIM,

THEN WHY ABU BAKR REFUSED TO GIVE FADAK TO JANABE SAYYIDA AND SAID THAT PROPERTY LEFT BY PROPHETS GOES IN CHARITY?

After listening this Abu Hanifa said to his men.

Kick him out of here he is Shia.
