Re: Was hz fatima(ra) correct when she demanded fadak as HER INTERITANCE?
Al-Kulayni narrates in al-Kafi: Abu ‘Abdillah (Imam Ja‘far as-Sadiq) says that Rasulullah *sallallahu ‘alayhi wa-alihi wasallam *said: “… And the ‘Ulama are the heirs of the Ambiya; and the Ambiya did not leave dinars and dirhams as inheritance; but they left knowledge. Therefore whosoever takes knowledge has taken a great portion.” (al-Kafi, vol. 1 p. 42)
Regarding the authenticity of this hadith, ‘Allamah Muhammad Baqir Majlisi states in his commentary on al-Kafi, entitled Mir’at al-‘Uqul:[This] hadith has two chains of narration. The first is majhul [contains an unknown narrator], and the second is hasan or muwaththaq. [Together] they do not fall short of being sahih. (Mir’at al-‘Uqul, vol. 1 p. 111)
Ali ibn Ibrahim narrates from his father, from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, on the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn Maymun] al-Qaddah that Abu ‘Abdillah [Imam Ja‘far as-Sadiq] ‘alayhis salam said: Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa-alihi wasallam said: “Whoever walks a path seeking therein knowledge, Allah will lead him on a road to Jannah… And the ‘Ulama are the heirs of the Ambiya; and the Ambiya did not leave dinars and dirhams as inheritance; but they left knowledge. Therefore whosoever takes knowledge has taken a great portion.” (*al-Kafi, *Kitab Fadl al-‘Ilm, Bab Sifat al-‘Ilm wa-Fadlihi, hadith no. 2)
To this narration Khomeini appends the following remark:
The narrators of this tradition are all reliable and trustworthy. The father of ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim [namely Ibrahim ibn Hashim] is not only reliable; he is one of the most reliable and trustworthy narrators. (al-Hukumat al-Islamiyyah, p. 133, published by Markaz Baqiyyat Allah al-A‘zam, Beirut

Saduq in “al-Khisal”:
[INDENT]3-115 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي الوشاء.عن أحمد بن عائذ، عن أبي خديجة عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال:الناس يغدون على ثلاثة عالم ومتعلم وغثاء، فنحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء.
3-115 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Vasha, on the authority of Ahmad ibn A’ez, on the authority of Abi Khadijeh that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “The people can be divided into three groups: the knowledgeable scholars, the seekers of knowledge and the scum. We are the knowledgeable scholars. Our followers are the seekers of knowledge and the rest of the people are the scum.”[/INDENT]It was also narrated in “Basair darajat” p 25 via 4 chains:[INDENT]حدثنا إبراهيم بن هاشم عن يحيى بن أبي عمران عن يونس عن جميل قال سمعت أبا عبد الله ع يقول يغدوا الناس على ثلاثة صنوف عالم ومتعلم وغثاء فنحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء
حدثني الحسن بن علي عن العباس بن عامر عن سيف بن عميرة عن عمرو بن شمر عن جابر عن أبي عبد الله ع قال إن الناس رجلان عالم ومتعلم وساير الناس غثاء فنحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء
حدثنا محمد بن الحسين بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي هاشم عن سالم عن أبي عبد الله ع قال الناس يغدون على ثلاثة عالم ومتعلم وغثاء فنحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء
حدثني محمد بن عبد الحميد عن سيف بن عميره قال حدثني أبو سلمة قال سمعت أبا عبد الله ع يقول يغدوا الناس على ثلاثة عالم ومتعلم وغثاء فسئلوه عن ذلك فقال نحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء
حدثنا أحمد بن محمد عن الحسن بن علي الوشا عن أحمد بن عايذ عن أبي خديجة عن أبي عبد الله ع قال إن الناس يغدون على ثلاثة عالم ومتعلم وغثاء فنحن العلماء وشيعتنا المتعلمون وسائر الناس غثاء
AND ONE THING IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT ACC TO SHIAS, SCHOLARS(ULAMA) DO NOT INHERIT FROM PROPHETS AS WE FOUND FROM THEIR AUTHENTIC AHADEES,.
AND WE KNOW THAT IN GENERAL THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE ULAMA(WHO HAS COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE) AND SEEKERS OF ILM AND JAHILS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT IN WHICH CATEGORY THE SHIAS CONSIDER AHLEBAYT TO BE?
AND IF THEY SAY HZ FATIMA(RA) COMES IN THE CATEGORY OF ULAMA(WHO HAS COMPLETE KNOWLEGDE) THEN THE HADEES APPLIES TO HER THAT PROPHET(SAW) DIDNT LEAVE INHERITANCE FOR HER EXCEPT KNOWLEDGE. AND BELIEVE ME THEY WILL NOT DARE TO CHOOSE THE REMAINING 2 CATEGORIES.[/INDENT]
