Re: some questions regarding Abu Bakr thread
I think some people are taking the hadith's too literally.
Fatima Bibi might be the daughter of the Prophet and he may have praised her and loved her a great deal. But there is such a thing as a figure of speech. If he says "whoever hurts her, hurts me"...that's something lots of dads say about their daughters. Does that mean the daughter is INFALLIBLE? No.
People say all the time about others that so-and-so is jannati - does it mean they're actually going to jannat? Maybe, maybe not. Even if they are going to Jannat, is it not possible they might have ERRED (not sinned, but committed an ERROR)?
Comon folks. Stop reading into this stuff so much. This is why we have so many divisions in our Ummah.
