Shia's view of Prophet Mohammad's Companions 2. Shia's view of Prophet Mohammad's Companions According to a Shia doctrine, the vast majority of the Sahaba (Prophet Mohammad's Companions) were liars and apostates. One of the leading scholars of the Shia, Al-Kashshi, reported that Abu Ja'far said: "All people (including the Sahaba) became apostates after the Prophet's death except for three." When asked who they were, he replied, "Al-Miqdad ibn Aswad, Abu Dharr (Zarr), and Salman (Al-Farsi) as mentioned in the verse, 'If he (Muhammad) dies or is killed, will you then turn on your heels.'" (Rijal Al-Kashshi p.12-13) . In the book "Al-Kafi fil-Usool, a Shia collection of ahadith attributed to the Prophet SAWS and some of the Imams of the Shia, and held in the same esteem amongst Shia as Sahih Bukhari is amongst the Ahl us-Sunnah (Sunnis), we find the following: "Obedience to 'Ali is true humility and disobedience to him is disbelief in Allah." (vol.10 p.54) "Whoever sets up another Imam besides 'Ali and delays 'Ali's caliphate is a polytheist." (vol.10 p.55) (this "hadith" refers to everyone who accepts the validity of the caliphates of Abu Bakr, 'Umar and Uthman. The Shia claim that the caliphate was stolen from 'Ali, and only he and his descendants have the right to rule the Muslims) "Syrians are worse than the Romans, Madinites worse than Meccans, and Meccans openly disbelieve in Allah." (vol.10 p.107) In explaining the verse: "On the day when the wrong-doer bites his hands saying, 'O if only I had taken the right path with the Prophet! O woe is me, if only I had not taken so-and-so as a friend!" (25:27-28), one of the most highly respected scholars of Tafseer amongst the Shia, Al-Qummi, states that "so-and-so" is 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA). (astagfiruallah) In reference to Talhah (RA) and az-Zubayr (RA), Al-Qummi claims that Abu Ja'far said that the following verse was revealed about them; "Verily the doors of Heaven will not open for those who deny Our signs and are arrogant towards them, nor will they enter paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle."(7:40) He also adds that the camel in the verse refers to their camel. Thus, according to Al-Qummi, Talhah(RA) and az-Zubayr(RA), who were both amongst the ten who received glad tidings of paradise from the ProphetSAWS himself, will never enter paradise! A Shia doctrine holds that most of the Sahaba were the worst sort, liars and apostates all. There is even a special dua, called "Dua Sanamay Quraysh" (The two Idols of the Quraysh). In this prayer (falsely attributed to Abdullah ibn Abbas) Both Abu Bakr(RA) and 'Umar(RA) are cursed, and called "the two idols of the Quraysh". Shirk (disbelief) is attributed to the two caliphs, and their daughters, Ayesha and Hafsah, both wives of the Prophet SAWS, are vilified. The prayer is published with the endorsement of the following major Shia scholars: (a) Ayatallah al-Udhma Muhsin al-Hakeem, (b) Ayatallah al-Udhma Abul-Qasim al-Khoi, (c) Ayatallah al-Udhma Roohullah al-Khomeini, (d) Ayatallah al-Udhma Mahmood al-Husaini, (e) Ayatallah al-Udhma Muhammad Kadhim Shri'atmadari, (f) The chief scholar 'Ali Taqi at-Taqwa. Another Shia doctrine in fact holds that all who do not follow their doctrine are disbelievers and apostate from Islam, with the following hadith from Al-Kafi cited in support: "Doubt about the Imamate of 'Ali is like doubt about the mission of Muhammad SAWS and one who doubts both should be killed if possible, if he claims to be a Muslim. On the other hand, disbelievers are like the Jews and Christians and should not be killed for these reasons." (Al-Kafi vol.6 p.393) ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- What is the Shi'ites belief regarding the Companions of the Messenger of Allah [saw]? Shi'ites hold that after the demise of the Prophet [saw], the entire population of the honorable companions became apostates (kafirs), save three, mainly for pledging Bay'ah (allegiance) to Abu Bakr [ra]. This is mainly why they reject the Prophetic Traditions (Ahadith), as in the collections of AhluSunnah wal Jamaa'ah, and replaced them with the traditions of their Imams. Following are some examples:
Rijaal al-Kash-shi: pp. 12-13. From:Ash-Shi'a WasSunnah, Ehsan Elahi Zaheer, p.49
Al-Kafi fil-Usool: al-Kulayni,Kitab al-Iman wal-Kufr, chapter:The Few Number of Believers, Narration No.6, vol.2, p.244 ------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- The Companions (r.a)
Shia's pass judgment on Muslims in accordance with the position of such Muslims regarding "Ali". Whoever was elected caliph before "Ali" is held by them to be a tyrant, an apostate or a sinner. The same judgment is passed on every Muslim ruler who did not step down for any of the descendants of "Ali" and his wife "Fatima" (r.a). The Shia's have thus created an atmosphere of animosity throughout the history of Islam, and the question of partisanship of Ahl-e-Bayt developed into a school of thought which preached and perpetuated such detrimental teachings down through the generations.
4. All of the Companions became infidel except three. (Hayat-ul-Quloob, Vol. No. 2, Page No. 923) 5. Prophet Mohammad's Companions turned apostates, except Miqdad, Salman Farsi and Abu Zar. (Quran Majeed by Maqbool Hussain Dehlevi, Page No. 134)
13. The first three Caliphs were tyrant. (Tehqeeq-ul-Yaqeen, Page No. 468)
19. Shia Imam Mahdi will order the whipping (lashing) of Abu Bakr and Omar. (Haq-ul-Yaqeen, Page No. 464) 20. Abu Bakr, Omar, Usman and Muawiyah are like
idols; they are worst of God's creatures. (Haq-ul-Yaqeen, Page No. 519) 31. Abu Bakr was the first person to embrace
Satan's religion. (Charagh-e-Mustafvi, Vol. No. 2, Page No. 18) 39. Sunnis practiced sodomy like Omar. (Tohfa-e-Hanfia
Dar Jawab Tohfa-e-Jaffria, Page No. 122)
