Sunni reference : Ibn Abi al-Hadid in his Sharh, v3, p81 Printed by Mohammad Ali Subaih in Egypt Imam Fakhr ad Din al-Razi in his commentaries of the Holy Quran Chapter 17, v5, pp 413 - 414 Second Printing by al-Matbaah al-Sarafeyah 1304 H This dialogue should alert us to the deceptive and succesful attempt on the part of Kaab to influence future events by Satanic suggestions. It contains a great deal of decepetion which produced many harmful results to Islam and the Muslims.

It is very easy to read the following into this dialogue : - Kaab was very indictive towards Imam Ali ( as ) because he was the one who had smashed the Jewish strong hold in the Arabic Peninsula. Kaab thought, and rightly so, he would remove all the Jewish influence from the Arab Society. Therefore, Kaab was very anxious to have the leadership in the hands of the Omayyad who were un-concerned with the future of Islam. They only concerned themselves with the materialistic aspect of the World.

In addition they were as hostile to Imam Ali ( as ) as Kaab. The Omayyads and Kaab considered Ali their common enemy. He had destroyed their leaders in the defense of Islam.

Kaab comments that Imam Ali is highly religious and he does not close his eyes on any crokkedness; nor does he tolerate any deviation from the Islamic path, when further examined reflects that either Kaab forgot or he deliberately deleted from his story that the Messenger ( Peace be Upon him and his followers ) was the most religious and the most successful head of the state in the history of the World.

Kaab also found in * his * scriptures that neither Imam Ali (as) nor his children would come to power because he has shed blood. In addition, Kaab said that it is written that David did not build the Temple of Jerusalem becuase he shed blood and that his son, Solomon was destined to build it so. Kaab did not mention and he made the Caliph forget that David, in spite of his shedding blood and being prevented from constructing the Temple came to power and became the Ruling King !

The Holy Quran declares that Allah said to David : Oh David, We certainly have made you Caliph on earth. You should judge between people rightfully ... [ Chapter 28 Verse 26 ] Kaab also forgot that the great Prophet ( saw ) shed the blood of enemies for truth.
