Remember that Abu-Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) were the closest companions to Muhammad (pbuh) as all references indicates and Allah confirmed in the Qur’an. His good treat to them is very well known to Shia. They were both fathers-in-law of the Prophet and his right hand. So, if the Shia claim were correct then we have three possible situations:
- Either they were hypocrites and the Prophet (pbuh) did not know that. This is a great insult to Allah since he did not warn his Messenger from his closest companions.
-Or they were hypocrites and the Prophet (pbuh) knew that. This is even worst since they are insulting the Prophet (pbuh) by claiming that he did not warn his nation from those hypocrites and he made them his relatives.
- Or they were good Muslims and they went astray after his death. This is abandonment from Allah to his messenger since He did not tell him what would happen in the future to warn the Muslim Ummah. How come Allah who promised to support his religion and his messenger, make to closest companions to his prophet renegades and hypocrites?!
By insulting the wives and the companions of the Prophet (pbuh), clearly the Shia want people to say: “Muhammad was a wanton man among wanton companions. If he were a virtuous man then his companions will be virtuous people too.” The Shia curse the Companions who are the righteous pattern to this Ummah and Allah bear witness for that:
(Some part is due) to the indigent Muhajirs (the Companions who emigrated from Mecca), those who were expelled from their homes and their property, while seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure, and aiding Allah and His Messenger: such are indeed the sincere ones;
But those who, before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith, show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the covetousness of their own souls; they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful.” (Qur’an Hashr: 8-10)
Shia cusses Abu-Bakr and his daughter Aisha, the wife of the prophet (pbuh), but they regard his son since he fought with Ali. So, they hate the best one in this Ummah after The Prophet and they regard his son who does not have any contribution in raising Islam.
Shia misconception about Sunnis that we do not consider Ali anything is wrong. As Musalman said, we regard him highest status with Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman. We do not pick some member of his family to be good, because they fought with him or anything like that. He was a good man, a good companion and a good Clipha. Its the people who changed and filled other peoples heart with hate towards other sahaaba, basically those people were jews, who wanted to break Islam from within and they suceeded in fooling some Muslims in cursing and defaming Sahaaba.
May Allah show them the right path.
PS: Insaniyaat, you are in no where near to be judge of WHAT abu bakr was thinking when he was in cave with Prophet Mohammad. Leave that to Allah, you are in no position to do that, besides worry about your self. [If I was to judge something about you, saying your a disbeliever, you would go crazy, saying: “oh watcher is judgmental and watcher is bad person and watcher is this and that…” right? You would call me every bad word, and cry your face off with calls to seek justice of what I judged about you.] So put a lid on stupidity and start using your brain for God sake.
Take it easy.
