فَقَالَ وَ هَذَا أَيْضاً يَجِبُ أَنْ يُنْظَرَ فِيهِ لِأَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ مَلَكَانِ لِلَّهِ مُقَرَّبَانِ لَمْ يَعْصِيَا اللَّهَ قَطُّ وَ لَمْ يُفَارِقَا طَاعَتَهُ لَحْظَةً وَاحِدَةً وَ هُمَا قَدْ أَشْرَكَا بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ أَسْلَمَا بَعْدَ الشِّرْكِ وَ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ أَيَّامِهِمَا فِي الشِّرْكِ بِاللَّهِ فَمُحَالٌ أَنْ يُشْبِهَهُمَا بِهِمَا He -asws said: ‘And this as well obligates that one looks into it, because Jibraeel -as and Mikaeel -as are ones of proximity to Allah -azwj .
They -as do not disobey Allah -azwj at all, nor do they separate from His -azwj obedience for one moment, and these two (Abu Bakr and Umar) had associated with Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and they became Muslims after the Shirk, and most of their days (life) were in Shirk with Allah -azwj . It is therefore impossible that these two can be resembled with those two’.
قَالَ يَحْيَى وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّهُمَا سَيِّدَا كُهُولِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ Yahya said, ‘And it has been reported as well that these two (Abu Bakr and Umar) are two chiefs of the elderly people of the Paradise.
So, what you -asws saying regarding it?’ فَقَالَ ع وَ هَذَا الْخَبَرُ مُحَالٌ أَيْضاً لِأَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ كُلَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ شَبَاباً وَ لَا يَكُونُ فِيهِمْ كَهْلٌ وَ هَذَا الْخَبَرُ وَضَعَهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ لِمُضَادَّةِ الْخَبَرِ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بِأَنَّهُمَا سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ He -asws said: ‘And this Hadeeth is an impossibility as well because the people of Paradise, all of them would be youths, and there will not happen to be any elderly among them.
And this Hadeeth has been placed by the clan of Umayya in order to oppose the Hadeeth which Rasool-Allah -saww said regarding Al-Hassan -asws and Al-Husayn -asws , that they -asws are two chiefs of the youths of people of Paradise’. قال الشيخ قدّس سرّه في تلخيص الشافي: و أمّا الخبر الذي يتضمن أنهما سيدا كهول أهل الجنة، فمن تأمل أصل هذا الخبر بعين انصاف علم أنّه موضوع في أيّام بني أميّة معارضة لما روى من قوله صلّى اللّه عليه و آله في الحسن و الحسين: انهما سيدا شباب أهل الجنة و أبوهما خير منهما.
