The following sources have narrated that the Prophet ordered that all the doors of the houses opening toward the mosque be closed except the door of
Ali’s house: Ahmad bin Hanbal in Musnad. Volume I, page 175, Volume II, page 26 and Volume IV, page 369; Imam Abu Abdu’r-Rahman Nisa’i in Sunan and in
Khasa’isi’l-Alawi, pages 13-14; Hakim Nishapuri in Mustadrak, Volume III, pages 117-125 and Sibt Ibn Jauzi in Tadhkira, pages 24-25 have testified to the reliability
of this hadith on the basis of chains of narrators of Tirmidhi and Ahmad. Again, Ibn Athir Jazri in Athna’l-Matalib, page 12, Ibn Hajar Makki in Sawa’iq Muhriqa,
page 76, Ibn Hajar Asqalani in Fathu’l-Bari, Volume VII, page 12, Tibrani in Ausat, Khatib Baghdadi in his Ta’rikh (History), Volume VII, page, 205, ibn Kathir in

Shahabu’d-Din Qastalani in Irshad-e-Bari. Volume VI, page 81, Halabi in Siratu’l-Halabiyya, Volume III, page 374 and Muhammad bin Talha Shafi’i in
Matalibu’s-Su’ul and many others, particularly from among the prominent companions of the Holy Prophet, have narrated the same thing. For instance, Caliph Umar
Bin Khattab, Abdullah Ibn Abbas, Abdullah Bin Umar, Zaid Bin Arqam, and Jabir Bin Abdullah Ansari have confirmed the reliability of this hadith. Some of your
prominent ulema, in order to save the people from being misled by the Bani Umayya, have emphasized the truth of this hadith. Muhammad Bin Yusuf Ganji Shafi’i,
in his book Kifayatu’t-Talib, chapter 50, has dealt with this hadith under a special heading. Quoting from authentic sources, he says that since a number of doors of
the companions of the Prophet opened towards the mosque, and since the Prophet had forbidden everyone to enter the mosque in the state of janaba or haiz
(pollution making the ritual bath essential), he ordered that all doors of the houses be closed excepting the door of Hazrat Ali’s house. He said, “Close all the doors;
but let the door of Ali’s house remain open.” Muhammad Bin Yusuf Shafi’i says that it is peculiar to Ali that he was permitted to enter and stay in the mosque in the
state of janaba. He goes on to say: “In short, the Holy Prophet’s conferring this privilege exclusively on Ali was a great honor. It shows that the Prophet knew that Ali,
Fatima, and their descendants were entirely free from impurity, as is clearly shown by the ‘verse of purity’ in the Holy Qur’an.” These remarks of a Shafi’i scholar may
be compared to the hadith mentioned by Hafiz Sahib. Leaving aside all the authentic sources we have quoted, if you have any proof of Abu Bakr’s purity, please
present it. The fact is that even Bukhari and Muslim in their collections of traditions have pointed out this fact that a polluted person cannot stay in the mosque. The
Prophet said, “It is not permitted for anyone who is polluted to stay in the mosque except for me and Ali.” Perhaps I may be allowed here to quote a hadith from the
second Caliph, Umar Ibn Khattab, which has been reported by Hakim in Mustadrak, page 125, by Sulayman Balkhi in Yanabiu’l-Mawadda chapter 56, page 210,
and by others, like Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Khatib Khawarizmi, Ibn Hajar, Suyuti, and Ibn Athir Jazri. He said: “Verily, Ali Ibn Abi Talib possessed three
outstanding merits. If I possessed any one of them, it would have been better for me than red-haired animals (camels): (1) The Prophet gave his daughter in marriage
to him; (2) The Prophet ordered that all the doors of the houses opening towards the mosque be closed except the door of Ali’s house; (3) The Prophet bestowed
upon him the flag (of Islam) on the day of the Battle of Khaibar.” The following sources have narrated that the Prophet ordered that all the doors of the houses opening toward the mosque be closed except the door of
Ali’s house: Ahmad bin Hanbal in Musnad. Volume I, page 175, Volume II, page 26 and Volume IV, page 369; Imam Abu Abdu’r-Rahman Nisa’i in Sunan and in

Its because of people like you that we in Pakistan have so many problems. Just follow the religion of Islam and quit qualifying yourself as a shia, sunni etc etc. Believe in the 5 arkans and quit trying to prove that you are right cause you are just displaying how insecure you are as a muslim - a little growing would help tooo(mental and physical). I am a sunni and I love all my muslim brothers and sisters(all 70 + sects), and thats all that matters.
Later on
Zman
I fail to see what your post proves Bukhari.
My post proves that Hazrat Ali (AS) and his
family, which was the Prophet (PBUH) 's
family, were not normal people but they
were special Creations of Allah, who were
to be treated as the final say on all matters
of Islam after the Prophet's death.
These great people are the Walis of Allah,
every word of what they say is to be
believed without question, and every action
they undertake is to be followed with full
fervour.
Since what the Prophet (PBUH)'s practiced
is expressly written in their Islamic
explanatory books, for example, Hazrat Ali (AS)'s Naja'ul Bilagha (The Peak of Eloquence) and Imam Ja'far Sadiq's Fiqah-e-
Jafariah, it is to be followed with all your
heart. This was the real Islam as practiced
by the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
This is what the Shias follow.
Since Sunnis do not follow it, they are in
the wrong. They should follow the real
Islam as practiced by the Prophet (PBUH)
and his family, and NOT the corrupted version
of Islam as followed by Umar, Abu Bakr, Usman, Muyavia, Yazid and other Ummayids.
This includes saying prayers with your hands
open to your side, because the hypocrites of
Bani Ummayia prayed with their hands folded
and kept small idols in them.

WRONG Mr. Bukhari, Its was the house of Hazrat Abu Bakr RAA.
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 6: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle addressed the people saying, "Allah has given option to a slave to choose this world or what is with Him. The slave has chosen what is with Allah." Abu Bakr wept, and we were astonished at his weeping caused by what the Prophet mentioned as to a Slave ( of Allah) who had been offered a choice, (we learned later on) that Allah's Apostle himself was the person who was given the choice, and that Abu Bakr knew best of all of us. Allah's Apostle added, "The person who has favored me most of all both with his company and wealth, is Abu Bakr. If I were to take a Khalil other than my Lord, I would have taken Abu Bakr as such, but (what relates us) is the Islamic brotherhood and friendliness. All the gates of the Mosque should be closed except the gate of Abu Bakr."
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 7: Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
We used to compare the people as to who was better during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle . We used to regard Abu Bakr as the best, then 'Umar, and then 'Uthman .
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 8: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "If I were to take a Khalil, I would have taken Abu Bakr, but he is my brother and my companion (in Islam)."
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 11: Narrated Jubair bin Mutim:
A woman came to the Prophet who ordered her to return to him again. She said, "What if I came and did not find you?" as if she wanted to say, "If I found you dead?" The Prophet said, "If you should not find me, go to Abu Bakr."
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 14: Narrated 'Amr bin Al-As:
The Prophet deputed me to read the Army of Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said, "Who is the most beloved person to you?" He said, " 'Aisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said, "Her father." I said, "Who then?" He said, "Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab." He then named other men.
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 16: Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there."
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 22: Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet said, "Do not abuse my companions for if any one of you spent gold equal to Uhud (in Allah's Cause) it would not be equal to a Mud or even a half Mud spent by one of them."
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 42: Narrated Abu Musa:
While I was with the Prophet in one of the gardens of Medina, a man came and asked me to open the gate. The Prophet said to me, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings that he will enter Paradise." I opened (the gate) for him, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. I informed him of the glad tidings the Prophet had said, and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked me to open the gate. The Prophet said to me "Open (the gate) and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." I opened (the gate) for him, and behold! It was 'Umar. I informed him of what the Prophet had said, and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked me to open the gate. The Prophet said to me. "Open (the gate) for him and inform him of the glad tidings, of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall him. " Behold ! It was 'Uthman, I informed him of what Allah's Apostle had said. He praised Allah and said, "I seek Allah's Aid."
The whole Muslim Ummah agrees that the most authentic book of hadiths is Sahih Bukhari, lets see if you can reject them also.
