3.12.7. The words of Ja'far ibn
Muhammad (as-Ssdiq)
It was narrated from 'Abdul-Jabb2 ibn 'Abbgs al-Hamadini
that Ja'far ibn Muhammad came to them when they wanted to leave
Madinah and said: "If Allah wills, you are among the righteous of
your city. Convey the message from me that whoever claims that I
am an infallible Imam to whom obedience is obligatory, I disavow
him.1138 Whoever claims that I disavow Abn Bakr and 'Umar, I
disavow him." It was narrated from S%m ibn Abdullah ibn 'Umar
that Ja'far said to him: "0 Saim, love them and disavow those who
hate them, for they were leaders of guidance." Then Ja'far said:
"Would a man impugn his grandfather? Ahu Bakr is my grandfather.
May I never attain the intercession of Muhammad (g) on the Day of
Resurrection if I do not love them both and disavow those who hate
them.,, 1139
It was also narrated from Ja'far ihn Muhammad that he
used to say: "Every time I hope for 'Ali's intercession for me, I also
hope for the intercession of Abn B&r, for he fathered me twice
[because the lineage of both of his parents went back to Ahu
~akr]."
It was narrated that he (may Allah have mercy on him) was
asked about Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and he said: "You are asking me
,,I141
about two men who ate of the fruits of paradise. It was also
narrated from him that he said: "May Allah disavow anyone who
disavows Abu Bakr and ‘~rnar.""~~ Adh-Dhahabi said,
commenting on this report: "I say: These words are narrated in
mntawitir reports from Ja'far as-Sidiq; I swear by Allah that he was
sincere in what he said and not hypocritical to anyone, may Allah
(g) doom the Rzfidis. 9,1143
These are the views of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt, the good and
pure ones, whom the R2iifidi Shia claim as their Imams and claim to
love and support, and to whom they attribute their beliefs. This
