Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Abd Allah Ibn Saba Myth Exploded Hitting The Final Nail: The Wisayah And The Raj’ah ===================================================== The aim of those who ceaselessly peddle the Ibn Saba fables is primarily to prove: that he was the origin of the claim that Amir al-Muminin ‘Ali, ‘alaihi al-salam , was declared khalifah by his Prophet, sallallahu ‘alaihi wa alihi ; and that he founded the claim that khilafah belongs exclusively to ‘Ali and the offspring of Muhammad; and that he was the first to express belief in al-raj’ah .
However, even in the authentic Sunni ahadith , evidence can be produced to establish that belief in the khilafah of the , ‘alaihim al-salam , as well as in al-raj’ah , was part of the original teachings of Islam. For instance, Imam Ibn Abi ‘Asim (d. 287 H) records: ثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا يحي بن حماد، عن أبي عوانة، عن يحيى بن سليم أبي بلج عن عمرو بن ميمون، عن ابن عباس قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعلي: أنت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى إلا أنك لست نبيا وأنت خليفتي في كل مؤمن من بعدي.
Muhammad b. al-Muthanna – Yahya b. Hammad – Abu ‘Awanah – Yahya b. Sulaym Abu Balj – ‘Amr b.

And you are my khalifah over every believer after me .”[^1] Dr. al-Jawabirah says: اسناده حسن. رجاله رجال الشيخين غير ابي بلج واسمه يحيي بن سليم بن بلج، قال الحافظ: صدوق ربما اخطأ. وله شواهد Its chain is hasan .
Its narrators are narrators of the two Shaykhs, except Abu Balj, and his name is Yahya b. Sulaym b. Balj. Al-Hafiz said: “ Saduq (very truthful), maybe he made mistakes.” There are witnesses for it (i.e. the hadith **)**.” ^2 ‘Allamah al-Albani (d. 1420 H) also comments on the sanad : إسناده حسن .ورجاله ثقات رجال الشيخين غير أبي بلج واسمه يحيى بن سليم بن بلج قال الحافظ" :صدوق ربما أخطأ ". Its chain is hasan . Its narrators are trustworthy, and are narrators of the two Shaykhs (i.e.
al-Bukhari and Muslim) except Abu Balj. His name is Yahya b. Sulaym b. Balj. Al-Hafiz said: “ Saduq (very truthful), maybe he made mistakes.”[^3] Assessing the same chain, Imam al-Hakim (d. 403 H) declares: هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد This hadith has a sahih chain .[^4] And Imam al-Dhahabi (d. 748 H) seconds him: صحيح Sahih . ^5 ‘Allamah Ahmad Shakir (d. 1377 H) too has the same verdict on same isnad : إسناده صحيح Its chain is sahih .[^6] And Imam al-Busiri (d.
