It has been established beyond a shadow of
doubt that the caliph’s cohorts initially laid siege to Hazrat
Fatemah’s (s.a.) house to intimidate the inmates and when that did not
have the desired effect, they attacked the house by setting it aflame.
In this way, the hooligans violated the sanctity of the house and that
of its inmates about whom the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had made innumerable
recommendations, some of which have been outlined in the initial
chapters. The attack and ensuing violation are established facts and
none can raise any doubts whatsoever.
Even Ibne Taiymiyyah did not find anything objectionable as far as the veracity of the chain of incidents is concerned.
If there are still some people who doubt the attacks then they are
worse than Ibne Taymiyyah who at least accepts their occurrence. And if
some of the deniers include Shiahs, then it is a matter of regret how
they can consider themselves as lovers of Ahle Bait (s.a.w.a.) while
denying the wrongdoing of the Ahle Bait’s oppressors, a fact accepted by
the Shiahs of the oppressors (Wahhabis)!
The attack was considered with such alacrity and ferocity that it
makes one wonder what they were expecting to find over there. Were they
expecting to find some wealth or property of Allah that had been
embezzled by the inmates through recovery of which they sought proximity
of Allah and His Prophet (s.a.w.a.)?![1]
Indeed, it was clear very soon to the oppressors the extent of their
wrongdoing. That is why it is narrated that when Abu Bakr’s death was
imminent, he confessed:
‘I do not feel remorse over any worldly affair save three actions
which I regret performing. Likewise, I feel remorse over three actions
which I abandoned while it would have been better if I had performed
them. I wish I had sought the answers from the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) for
three questions…’
This narration is very important although we will only elaborate on the portion that is relevant in this discussion.
وددت انی لم اکشف بیت فاطمہ عن شئی و ان کانوا قد غلقوہ علی الحرب
وددت انی کنت سالت رسول اللہ لمن ھٰذا الامر فلا ینازعہ احد
“I wish I had not forced Fatemah to open her house, even if it had been locked for battle.
I wish I had asked the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) about the identity of his successor so I would not oppose him on any matter.”
Although apparently remorseful, do these words of the caliph ring with sincerity?
If indeed he was remorseful and honest then why did he claim
ignorance of the Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) successor while he was present in
Ghadeer?
Was he not among the first ones to congratulate the successor of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.)?
Was he not aware of the numerous incidents related to the successor ship of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.)?
Abu Bakr’s confession can be traced in Taarikhe Tabari.
In addition to this, one can refer to Iqd al-Fareed of Ibn Abde
Rabbeh, Al-Amwaal of the great memoriser of the Quran and traditionalist
Imam Abu Abeed Qaasim Ibn Salaam, Muruj al-Zahab of Mas’oodi,
Al-Imaamah wa al-Siyaasah of Ibne Qutaybah al-Dainoori.[2]
Also notable is that these references have survived despite attempts
to distort historical incidents and narrations, as noted earlier. For
instance, on referring to Al-Amwaal one finds that instead of ‘I wish I
had not forced ….’ it is recorded as ‘I wish I had not done such and
such thing.’
It is clear that this is the handiwork of the distortionists. Over
here, they deleted reference to a specific event and replaced it with a
general reference.
We reiterate a point we have been making consistently in the book –
how does one expect to find an accurate representation of the entire
chain of events in the face of such distortion?
It is unfortunate that the defrauders of truth have tricked people
with lies and a large number of Muslims have fallen prey to them.
