what? 
is this true? can other shias confirm this? I was not aware of this before reading this post.
if it is true, what is your opinion of the other children of the Holy Prophet (saw)?
p.s. about the successor of the Holy Prophet (saw), why not follow the sunnah of Hazrat Ali (ra) himself? When he himself obeyed Hazrat Abu bakr (ra) then what is the point of arguing about who the successor was suppose to be?
