Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Did Abu Bakr Really Lead The Salat? Abu Bakr’s Presence in the Army of Usamah ============================================ There is another fundamental twist to the whole saga about Abu Bakr’s alleged leadership of the salat during the Prophet’s fatal illness, sallallahu ‘alaihi wa alihi , which creates a new major crisis for the official Sunni narrative. Imam al-Bukhari (d.

256 H) records: حدثنا خالد بن مخلد حدثنا سليمان قال حدثني عبد الله بن دينار عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال : بعث النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم بعثا وأمر عليهم أسامة بن زيد فطعن بعض الناس في إمارته فقال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم إن تطعنوا في إمارته فقد كنتم تطعنون في إمارة أبيه من قبل وايم الله إن كان لخليقا للإمارة وإن وكان لمن أحب الناس إلي وإن هذا لمن أحب الناس إلي بعده Khalid b. Makhlad – Sulayman – ‘Abd Allah b. Dinar – ‘Abd Allah b.

‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him: The Prophet, peace be upon him, sent troops and appointed Usamah b. Zayd as their amir (commander). But, some people criticized his appointment as amir . Then, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “If you criticize his appointment as amir , you used to criticize the appointment of his father as amir before.

I swear by Allah, he (Usamah’s father) deserved the appointment as amir indeed, and he used to be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now this (Usamah) is certainly one of the most beloved persons to me after him.”[^1] Dr. al-Bagha has some comments on this narration: )فطعن (قدح وتكلم فيها) .بعض الناس (وكان أشدهم في هذا عياش ابن أبي ربيعة المخزومي رضي الله عنه . (criticized) disparaged and condemned. (Some people) the most severe of them in this was ‘Ayyash b.

Abi Rabi’ah al-Makhzumi, may Allah be pleased with him. ^2 Al-Hafiz (d. 852 H) also has these words on the hadith : قوله) باب بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أسامة بن زيد في مرضه الذي توفي فيه( إنما أخر المصنف هذه الترجمة لما جاء أنه كان تجهيز أسامة يوم السبت قبل موت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بيومين His statement (Chapter on the Appointment of Usamah b. Zayd by the Prophet, peace be upon him, during his Fatal Illness): The author (i.e.

al-Bukhari) has only given this biography a late timing due to what is narrated that the mobilization of Usamah (for war) was on Saturday, two days before the death of the Prophet.[^3] This was well into the period when Abu Bakr was supposed to be leading the salat ! What is going on here?
