Umar raising his voice in the presence of the Prophet(SAWA) and disrespecting him

Allah warned those who raised their voices in the presence of the prophet and those who speak aloud to him. A well-behaved companion will not raise his voice in the presence of the prophet, he will not speak loud to the prophet and will ask the permission of the prophet before giving his point of view regarding a matter. This event occurred few months before the demise of the prophet. This means that the two caliphs knew well how they should behave in the presence of the prophet. With all their misdeeds, I still don't understand why Abu Bakr is known as al-Siddiq (the truthful) and Umar ibn al-Khattab as al-Farrouq (the distinguisher). It just does not make sense that it was the prophet's idea. Certainly, an Umayyad addition! This sign of disrespect also occured 3 days before...

Umar and Fabrications Involving the Qur’an

From the Book : When Power and Piety Collide By Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini Some of the Umayyah clan went so far as to claim that some of the Qur’anic verses descended because of Umar’s wishes, actions, and suggestions. For instance, al-Suyuti says: When Umar gave his opinion about something, the Qur’an would come with a verse supporting his opinion. Whenever there was a disagreement between the people and Umar, the Qur’an came and supported what Umar said... Allah supported Umar and confirmed his views in 21 places in the Qur’an.[1] Such narrations claim that because Umar had instructed the Prophet not to seek forgiveness for the hypocrites that Allah revealed the following verse, “Whether you seek forgiveness for them or not, Allah will never forgive them." (c. 9:80) They also say that...

Fabricated Traditions in praise of Umar b. al-Khattab

From the Book : When Power and Piety Collide By Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini Many of the fabricated hadith were introduced to provide religious legitimacy for the government of the caliphs. In fact, that could be seen as the primary motive for inventing hadith. For this reason, many posthumous narrations are recorded in praise of Umar b. al-Khattab; some of which are attributed to the Prophet having said them, others to Imam Ali, and some are attributed to various companions. However, almost all of these hadith are flawed as either they contradict the Qur’an, the sunnah or other established facts, or one or more of their narrators are known to be unreliable, according to the standards of recognizing the hadith in the Sunni tradition. Virtually all of the fabricated sayings in praise of...

Hadith of the “Ten People Guaranteed Paradise”

From the Book : When Power and Piety Collide By Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini One of the most infamous hadith a fabrication is referred to as, “Ten People Guaranteed Paradise (al-Asharah Mubashsharah bil-Jannah).” According to this hadith the “ten people guaranteed Paradise” are: (1) Abu Bakr b. Abi Qahafah (2) Umar b. al-Khattab (3) Uthman b. al-Affan (4) Talha b. Ubaydillah (5) Zubayr b. al-Awam (6) Abd al-Rahman b. Auf (7) Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas (8) Abdullah b. Masoud (9) Abu Obaydah b. al-Jarrah and (10) Ali b. Abi Talib. Collectively granting them all paradise puts us in a great dilemma because many of these individuals are known for their questionable character. To begin with, only al-Tirmidhi includes this hadith, whereas al- Bukhari, al-Muslim, and al-Dhahabi all reject it.[1] It behooves...

Dialogue between Abdullah b. al-Abbas and Umar b. al- Khattab

From the Book : When Power and Piety Collide By Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini Abdullah b. al-Abbas (who is from the tribe of Bani Hashim and was the first cousin of Ali and the Prophet) and Umar b. al-Khattab held many discussions. On one occasion, during the caliphate of Umar they debated whether the Bani Hashim should hold the caliphate. This dialogue is of particular interest, since it highlights the issues at hand.[1] Umar, “Do you know why the people did not elect you [the family of the Prophet] to the caliphate?" Ibn Abbas, “No, I do not know." Umar, “I know what the reason was." Ibn Abbas, “What was it?" Umar, “The Quraysh hated to see the prophethood and caliphate vested in one house. If that would have happened, you would have wronged the people!" Ibn Abbas, “Can Amir al-Mumineen...

Innovations of Umar b. al-Khattab

From the Book : When Power and Piety Collide By Sayed Moustafa al-Qazwini According to historical records, Umar b. al-Khattab prided himself on his “improvements" to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Prophet. Although Abu Bakr and Uthman both adjusted religious law for special cases,[1] Umar relied almost entirely on his own opinion and encouraged others to do the same. When he appointed Shurayh al-Qadi as the religious judge of Madinah, he instructed him, “If you are searching for a verdict, then look in the Book of God. If you do not find one, then look in the tradition of the Prophet. But if you do not find it in the tradition of the Prophet, then make up a verdict yourself." [2] Similarly, he wrote to Abu Musa al-Ashari, “If you do not find an answer in the Book or the tradition,...
