T H E D E V I L ' S D E C E P T I O N S We have heard a tradition that one day when al-Sef.fdp was preaching a member of 'Ali's family rose up, and said, 'I am a descendant of 'AlI 'Leader ef Believers' help me against one who has wronged me.' The Caliph asked him who had wronged him. He said: 'I am a descendant of 'AlI and the person who wronged me is Abu Bakr, when he took away Fadak from Fatimah.' The Caliph asked: 'And did he persist in robbing you?' The man said, 'Yes.' The Caliph asked: 'Who arose after him?' He said 'Umar. And did he persist in robbing you? 'Yes' And who arose after him? 'Uthman. And did he persist in robbing you? 'Yes.' And who arose after him? At this question the man turned in one direction and another trying to find a means of escape. Ibn 'AqII said: 'Whoeverputin place the Rafiqah school of thought intended to attack the essence of religion and Prophecy. What Allah's Messenger (;I) came with was from the unseen, and we only trusted it because of the sayings of our predecessors. We did not need to investigate, because people whom we trust have investigated for us. If someone says: it was only after the Prophet's death that his Companions oppressed his family in matters of leadership and inheritance, then (we say): this is based on an ill-opinion of the deceased. Proper beliefs in Prophets necessitate the continuation of the principles that they have put in place, especially regarding their families and offspring. If Rafiqah say: they (the Companions) discontinued believing in Prophetic principles after the Prophet's death, then we should have no hope in Islam, because the only thing between us and the religion is our trust in them (the Companions) and following what they transmitted to us.' Rafiqah's excessive love of 'AlI (ratfiyAlkihu 'anhu) caused them to fabricate many Q.adiths on his virtues. Yet, little did they know, that most (of these Q.adiths) disgrace and insult him. I have mentioned some of these Q.adiths in my book ''Al-Mawt/u'dt". 176
Chapter Six· Devil's Deception of those from Our Ummah If then this (the robbery) be all that they (the Prophet's () family) got after his death, we are disappointed in our expectation that what is transmitted is trustworthy, and we can have no further confidence in that whereon we relied, via., that we were following persons of intelligence. We have no guarantee that these people having seen reasons compelling them to follow him may not have respected them during his lifetime, but abandoned his Code after his death, only a few of his family remaining in his religion. Thus beliefs will be shaken, and the mind will have no courage to accept the traditions concerning the basis of belief, i.e., the miracles. And this will be most disastrous for the Shari'ah. Among these (fabricated }:iadi:th) is one stating that once the sun set before 'All was able to pray 'Ar, so it was raised back up. This cannot be authentic because no trustworthy narrator has narrated this }:iadi:th. The meanings contained in this }:iadi:th are also false, because once the sun has set then the time for 'Ar prayer has passed, and it would do no good for it to be returned. Now this is to be rejected from the point of view of transmission, as no trustworthy authority records it; and this does not make any sense and it sounds absurd. The time having gone by, even supposing that a fresh rising brought the sun back, the time will not have been brought back. Similarly they fabricated a tradition to the effect, that Fatimah washed herself, then died, having given instructions, that washing should suffice. From the point of view of transmission this is a fiction, and sounds stupid. For the washing is due to the impurity caused by death, so how can it be valid before death? They also have issues of fiqh Gurisprudence) that they have adopted in opposition of scholary consensus. I have copied certain of their questions from the writing of Ibn 'Aqil, who states that he copied them from the treatise of al-Murtac;l.a concerning the opinions peculiar to the al-I mdm!Jyah. Among them is: It would not be permissi- 1 77
