Surveying the reasons of the superiority of Imam Ali in caliphate (2)

Abazar told different narrations about Imam Ali’s caliphate (peace be upon him) in the second or the third day, but they beat him, broke his arm and leg and made him leave there. Salman came and referred, but they also beat him and made him leave there. His wife, Am Ayman, came and reasoned in the mosque that the deserved caliphate is Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and Omar began to say
ما للنساء و لها في الأمور؟
.‘’ it is not women’s business which interferes with these kinds of affairs’’
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) spoke regularly about affairs related to the caliphate during twenty three years. The best time that he spoke about his virtues completely said
فيا لله و الشورى
seek God for the sake of Omar’s council’’. He also said ‘’I was insulted as much as I was a candidate along with Othman, Talhe, Zobayr, Abdolrahman Bn Uf and Sad Bn Vaghas’’. When they began to vote who is deserved to be a caliph among six candidates, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said to them over sixty or seventy of his virtues or even you can find that the Sunnite narrated over fifty narrations about ‘’ Ghadire Khom Hadith’’ which compares Imam Ali (peace be upon him) with the companions. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) made the companions swear and said ‘’ I swear you to God which every one heard that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said about ‘’ من کنت مولاه فعلي مولاه” stands up and attests’’. Thirty five persons that had taken part in the Badr War stood up and attested that they heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some of them did not stand up and Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said ‘’ Anas, why did you not stand up?’’. He said ‘’ I have got old and I cannot remember anything ‘’. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said ‘’ you are telling a lie. God will make your eyes blind’’. Everybody wrote that Imam Ali’s curse (peace be upon him) made Ans Bn Malek go blind. Since Imam Ali (peace be upon him) that was the representative of blessing cursed them, ten or twelve persons that denied the Ghadire Khom Hadith ran into trouble. If we say that we have words for Imam Ali’s caliphate, we will claim that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) reasoned to the reality related to his caliphate in relation with the Prophet’s remarks (peace be upon him) during twenty five years and also five years, but you do not have even one case.
The third answer:
You say that this verse has been descended about Abu-Bakr whereas your own reliable analysts say that this verse is not related to Abu-Bakr. I say Mr Abn Abildhdah’s story, one of the prophet’s companions (peace be upon him), briefly which everyone knows this story: one of companions’ the branches of the date fell in the other companion’s house. When the dates became ripe, sometimes, the children ate these dates. The owner of the date came and got them from the children’s hands. From time to time, he got them out from the children’s mouth. The man came to the prophet (peace be upon him) and complained ‘’ the branches of this tree have fallen into my house and the owner of the tree behaves like this’’. The prophet summoned the companion and said‘’ if you grant this date tree to me, I guarantee that you will be given a good one in the heaven’’. He said ‘’ this is the best tree of date that I have and I do not want to lose it at all costs’’. One of other companions, Ebn Abildhdah, came to the prophet (peace be upon him) and said‘’ if I buy this tree and grant it to you, will you guarantee the tree in the heaven for me?’’. The prophet said‘’ yes’’. The man decided to buy the tree and said ‘’ I pay however much you say’’ and the owner of the tree said ‘’ I do not sell this tree. If you grant me forty trees of date, I will give this tree to you. He said’’ I agree. I will give you forty trees. He went and endorsed the document of forty trees in the name of the owner of the tree and got that tree from him. Afterwards, he came over the Prophet and said ‘’ I bought this tree and it belongs you’’. The prophet summoned the poor companion and said‘’ from now on, this tree belongs you and that person has no right for it.
After this event happened, this Surah was descended. You observe Mr Ghartebi’s phrase, he is one of the skillful analysts of the Sunnite, and it is well-known that Mr Ghartebi’s interpretation is the abstract of the interpretation of the Sunnite and it is completely true:
و روى عن ابن عباس: إن السورة نزلت في أبي الدحداح في النخلة التي اشتراها بحائط له. كان لرجل من الأنصار نخلة، يسقط من بلحها في دار جار له، فيتناول صبيانه، فشكا ذلك إلى النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم ... فنزلت "و الليل إذا يغشى" إلى آخر السورة في بستان أبي الدحداح و صاحب النخلة. "فأما من أعطى و اتقى" يعني أبا الدحداح، "و صدق بالحسنى" أي بالثواب، "فسنيسره لليسرى" يعني الجنة، "و أما من بخل و استغنى" يعني الأنصاري،"و كذب بالحسنى" أي بالثواب، "فسنيسره للعسرى" يعني جهنم، "و ما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى" أي مات .
This is the phrase that the Sunni scholars have narrated and it is not related to Abu-Bakr. Mr Ebn Abi Hatem, one of the well-known analysts, and even Mr Ebn Timieh, the Vahabi Theorist, say that one of reliable interpretations is Ebn Abi Hatem’s interpretation. Ebn Abi Hatem’s interpretation is full of the narrations about Imam Ali’s virtues. The Hadiths that have been narrated about Imam Ali’s caliphate or his virtues versus others are in Ebn Abi Hatem’s interpretation. Abn Timieh says
‘’ کتفسير ابن جريج و اين أبي حاتم و غيرهم من العلماء الأکابر الذين لهم في الإسلام لسان صدق و تفاسيرهم متضمنة للمنقولات التي يعتمد عليها بالتفسير’’ . These analysts have honest tongue in Islam and their interpretations are involved in the narrations that human can trust them in the interpretation of the Quran. Mr Ebn Abi Hatem has narrated this narration in his interpretation in the volume five and from pages thirty four to thirty nine. Hakeme Neishaburi in the book ‘’ Mostadrek’’ has narrated these narrations and says ‘’ صحيح علي شرط مسلم’’ . Therefore, if the Sunni scholarsrefer to this verse about Abu Bakr’s superiority, it is not reason that he is deserved to be a caliph. Generally, this verse is not related to Abu Bakr.
This narration is weak and has no worth to be referred. Moreover, the great analysts of the Sunni have said that this narration is weak. Mr Hishemi has said in Majmal Zavaed that this verse has been descended about Abu Bakr and says
في سنده مصعب بن ثابت و فيه ضعف
‘’Mosab Bn Sabet is in the document of this narration and this narration is weak’’. Mr. Aghili, one of well –known persons in the Sunnite, says firmly that Mosab Bn Sabet has narrated this narration in the book ‘’ al-Zoafa” that is an expanded book with unskilled narrators. Ahmad Bn Hanbel has said
ضعيف الحديث ’’
. Mr Abn Haban, one of main supporters in the Sunnite, says
منکر الحديث، ممن ينفرد بالمناکير عن المشاهير
‘’ Mr Mosab is a person that narrates the forbidden Hadiths from the well-known and unknown persons’’. Mr Abn Hajar also narrates from Mr Mayan, the founder of the Rejal Science in the Sunnite. ‘’ أنه ضعيف. عن النَسائي أنه ليس بالقوي فی الحدیث “
You say that these verses have been descended about Abu Bakr, but Ayshe, the devout’s mother, says in Sahih Bokhari and Sahih Mosalam ‘’ no verse has been descended in the favor of Abu Bakr’s ancestry except the story of my accusing to the incest in the Efek Story. Do you want to relate this verse to Abu Bakr by force? Do you tell the truth or Ayeshe? One day, Mr Marvan was giving a sermon in Medina. He was speaking about Mr Moavieh and Yazid’s virtues and they wanted to swear allegiance for Yazid. Abdol Rahman, Abu Bakr’s son, objected and said ‘’ Yazid is not deserved to be a caliph and you make Islam transfer from a generation to another generation. Marvan became angry and said ‘’ Mr Abdolrahman, this verse has been descended in the favor of you وَ الَّذِي قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَكُمَا
And you should be quiet''. ’’
فقالت عائشة من وراء الحجاب: ما أنزل الله فينا شيئا من القرآن إلا أن الله أنزل عذري
Ayeshe said behind the curtain’’ God has not descended any verses in the favor of Abu Bakr’s ancestry, but in the Efek Story some of the companions accused me to the incest and this verse was descended’’. If the verses of the al-Layl Surah had been about Abu Bakr, Ayeshe should have said that the verse had been descended about us. If a person wants to deny the fact, the Cave verse will be in question even although some of the researchers narrated that the Cave verse is not related to the first caliph, Abu Bakr and another person in the name of Abu Bakr. We believe that the Cave verse is not praise for the first caliph, but it is contempt for him. In addition, it is virtue for Imam Ali
‘’ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ’’
This verse was descended in the story that Imam Ali fell asleep in the prophet’s bed. This is a virtue not what the Cave verse says.
‘’ إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا’’.

We do not care about what they have said that this narration was false and faked. In Sahih Bokhari and Sahih Mosalam, the first caliph narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) assigned no one for the caliphate (neither Abu Bakr nor Imam Ali). In these kinds of stories, according to the obligation theory, we refer to ‘’ ما يلزمون به أنفسهم’’. It means that if I am judged with a man and I say ‘’ his aba is mine and he has stolen it ‘’and he says‘’ this is my aba and someone has stolen it’’ what will the judge do? He will ask me ‘’ who is the owner of the aba that you have worn? ‘’ and I will say ‘’ it is his’’. Therefore, he will say‘’ take off your aba and give it to him’’. I will say ‘’ the aba that is on his shoulders is mine. He will say ‘’ you confessed that this aba is his and we get the aba from you and will give it to him. But if you say ‘’ the aba that he has worn is yours’’, you should bring reason. If you do not have reasons, this aba cannot be yours’’. Hence, Omar says ‘’ the Prophet did not assign neither Abu Bakr nor Ali for caliphate’’. We accept that he says that he did not assign Abu Bakr. But if he says that he did not assign Imam Ali (peace be upon him), what is your reason? We have reasons for our claim that the Prophet assigned Imam Ali for caliphate. What the second caliph says ‘’ the Prophet did not assign Abu Bakr for caliphate’’ cuts the root of all narrations that they reason about Abu Bak’s reality and it turns out that all of these narrations are false. Bokhari says ‘’ when the second caliph was wounded by Abololo and was sick in the bed they came and said to him
ألا تستخلف؟ قال: إن إستخلف، فقد إستخلف من هو خير مني أبو بكر و إن أترك فقد ترك من هو خير مني رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم
