Documents of the Right Word

‘radiy-Allâhu anhum’ “were munâfiqs.” Thus they deny the
hadîth-i sherîfs praising these three Khalîfas. These hadîth-isherîfs
are written together with their documents in the book
Izâlat-ul-hafâ, by Shâh Waliyyullah Dahlawî.
11- Because hadrat Abû Bekr belonged to the tribe called
Temîm and hadrat ’Umar was from the tribe called Adî, they say
that Abû Bekr and ’Umar ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ anhumâ’
“worshipped idols secretly.” However, hadrat Alî gave his
daughter to hadrat Abû Bekr’s son Muhammad and appointed
him as a governor. And he gave his other daughter to hadrat
’Umar. While maintaining on the one hand that “hadrat Alî is free
from errors,” they vituperate on the other hand the great religious
leaders to whom hadrat Alî gave his daughters and Rasûlullah’s
father-in-law and son-in-law, and say that these people were
munâfiqs.
12- They think that Sunnite Muslims are inimical towards
hadrat Alî and Ahl-i-Bayt. On the contrary, Sunnites love hadrat
Alî ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ anh’ and the Ahl-i-Bayt very much and say
that loving these people will cause one to die in îmân, (as a

‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ anh’ murderer, as a just person and that
“Bukhârî reports hadîths coming through him.” This allegation is
untrue. The book Bukhârî does not contain any hadîths narrated
by Ibni Muljam.
14- Because they feel animosity towards the Ahl as-sunna, they
curse the word ‘Sunnat’, too.
15- They say that if a person says, “wa ta’âlâ jad-duk,” when
performing namâz, his namâz will be annulled.
16- They say that Sunnites ‘rahmatullâhu ta’âlâ alaihim
ajma’în’ “are worse and fouler than Jews and Christians.”
17- They claim that all their groups, inimical as they are
towards one another, will enter Paradise owing to their love for
hadrat Alî.
18- “It is not necessary to do the worships taught by the Ahl assunna,”
they maintain.
19- When they begin doing something, they curse the three
Khalîfas instead of saying the word Basmala. They argue that “a
