Contents Shedding the blood of Innocents Collecting Gold and Silver Shedding the blood of Innocents Al-Bukhari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said the following to his companions in his last speech: Sahih al-Bukhari(1) Narrated Abu Bakr: The Prophet said: “… Surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me by cutting the throats of one another.

It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed will understand it better than those who have actually heard it.” On the other hand, the documented history confirms that some companions (some of whom were also promised paradise according to some fabricated traditions) shed the blood of thousands of Muslims in various civil wars.

Good examples of them are Talha and Zubair who were the first companions who waged war against Ali (AS) after people paid oath to him as their legitimate Caliph. They could not see him in power, and found him a great obstacle for their robberies. Thus shed the blood of 10 thousand Muslims in the battle of “Camel”, in order to overthrow Ali from power. (See any Sunni history books for details). Their plot was finally failed and both Talha and Zubair were killed.

Muawiyah and Amr Ibn al-Auss are another examples, who waged the war of Siffin against Ali (AS) killing other thousands of Muslims. Allah states: “And whoever kills a believer deliberately, his reward is Hell forever, and the Wrath of Allah is upon him, He cursed him and prepared a great punishment for him.” (2) As such, is there any reason we should respect ALL of the companions and follow ALL of them, even those among them whom Allah cursed by the above verse of The Quran?

Why should we love one whom Allah curses, and why should we follow one whom Allah has promised Hell forever? Collecting Gold and Silver al-Bukhari narrates the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said the following after the Battle of Uhud.
