Did you know that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said...

Did you know that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said, as narrated in Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v6, p33: "Whoever curses (or verbally abuses) Ali, then he has cursed me, and whoever has cursed me, then he has cursed Allah (SWT), and whoever has cursed Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will throw him into the hellfire." That means that by cursing Ali (AS), the companions were cursing the Prophet (PBUH&HF), and by cursing the Prophet (PBUH&HF), they were cursing Allah (SWT), and by cursing Allah (SWT), they shall enter the hellfire!

By Allah (SWT), they will be asked to account for what they've said! That is a promise by Allah (SWT), which He (SWT) shall not break! Dr. al-Tijani asserts that during his search for the truth, he tried wholeheartedly to identify these heinous charges with the hypocrites and the malevolent companions ONLY; but he soon discovered that there is NO way of excluding the SO-CALLED righteous companions, in the sight of the Sunnis, from these charges.

📌For we see that the first companion to threaten the burning down of al-Imam Ali's (AS) house is none other than `Umar Ibn al-Khatab himself -- the man that the Sunnis claim is of such faith and courage that he terrifies Satan himself! And the first to wage war against al-Imam Ali (AS) were Talha, al-Zubayr, and none other than `Aisha herself, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) that is the most beloved woman in the sight of the Sunnis. Note that `Aisha is also the daughter of Abu Bakr!

Others aggressors include, but are NOT limited to, Amr Ibn al-Aas, Muawiyah, and many others that oppressed the family of the Prophet (PBUH&HF). Are these not righteous companions in the sight of the Sunnis? Do we need to say more? As Dr.

al-Samawi states: "If we wanted to provide all the occurrences (sayings) of the Prophet's (PBUH&HF) praise of Ali (AS), we can easily fill an entire book!" The companions also changed the prayer rules, and the first to do so was `Uthman Ibn `Afan, the third caliph. Sahih Bukhari narrates in v2, page 154, that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) always prayed two (instead of four) rak'at during travel, as is mandated by Allah (SWT) in the Quran.

Abu Bakr and `Umar did the same, then came `Uthman and prayed four rak'at during travel instead of two! This tradition is also narrated in Sahih Muslim, v1, p260. Who is `Uthman to violate the orders of Allah (SWT) and His (SWT) Prophet (PBUH&HF) with regards to the Salat (Prayer)? Question and reflect, and may Allah (SWT) guide us all.
