Page 30 of 43 4.2 Some questions in relation to Uthman’s funeral Could Ansar be so kind as to answer the following questions (we would like to see answers from authentic texts accompanied by a complete Sahih isnad): 1. <strong>Who</strong> conducted the ghusl of the slain khalifa? 2. Which individuals participated in the Funeral prayers? 3. Which Sahaba had the ‘honor’ of leading the funeral prayers? 4. What was the total number of people that participated in the funeral prayer 5. Where were these momentous prayers conducted? Copyright © 2002-2003 Answering-Ansar.org. • All Rights Reserved
Page 31 of 43 5. Virtues of Uthman in Sunni books We shall now seek to raise some questions and list the lid on the high status afforded to Hadhrath Uthman in the texts of Ahl’ul Sunnah. 5.1 Ansar’s appraisal of Uthman Ansar.org states: Uthman bin Affan, the man of two lights, his wives were Ruqayyah and Umm Kalthum, the two daughters of the Prophet peace be upon him, and the brother-in-law of Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased at him. It is indeed amusing that Nasibi’s whether they be Salafi or Deobandi have an aqeedah that Rasulullah (s) was not created from Nur (Light) – as Nur is not the composition of a human being and Rasulullah (s) was human like us. At the same time they give Uthman the title “Dhur Nurayn” possessor of two lights – how can this be when no human can constitute Nur? We also have some questions for Ansar on this very topic: 1. If Uthman was indeed “the possessor of two lights” by the same token can we also deem Abu Lahab to be Abu Nurayn? After all his sons (in Sunni traditions) married Hadhrath Ruqayya and Umm Kalsoom? 2. Do you accept that this honor gives Abu Lahab a superior virtue over the rest of the Ummah? 3. Can you produce even a single reference with a complete Sahih chain where Rasulullah (s) had referred to either of these daughters as Nur? Ansar.org states: He prepared the army of Al-Essrah, and bought the will of Romah and made it free for Muslims. Preparing armies can in no way be deemed to be a mark of superiority, since lands were also conquered under the leadership of Nasibi Banu Umayya Khailafas such as Waleed! Whilst Abu Sulaiman seems to think that the conquest of Rome in some way benefited the Muslims, Rasulullah (s) made it clear that this conquest would lead to bad feelings, hatred and oppression of the poor. This is clearly established in Sahih Muslim Book 042, Number 7067: 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-As reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: How would you be,0 people when Persia and Rome would be conquered for you? 'Abd at-Rahman b Auf said: We would say as Allah has commanded us and we would express our gratitude to Allah Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Nothing else besides it? You would (in fact) vie with one another, then you would feel jealous, then your relations would be estranged and then you will bear enmity against one another or something to the same effect. Then you would go to the poor emigrants and would make some the masters of the others. Copyright © 2002-2003 Answering-Ansar.org. • All Rights Reserved
