Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Prophet's Last Prayer The Discussions of the Earlier Muslims of Medina (ans?r) After the Demise of the Holy Prophet After this, what comes is not surprising. Zar Ibn Hobaish has narrated from Abdullah, that when the holy Prophet passed away, the Ansars said, "there should be an Amir (chief) from us, and an Amir from you." Zar Ibn Hobaish added that Umar came to the people and said: "O people of Ansar!

Are you not aware that the holy Prophet ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in Prayer?" They replied: "Yes." Umar said, "Who, amongst you all, wants to exceed the position of Abu Bakr?" Ansar said: "We take refuge in Allah that we go ahead of Abu Bakr."1 Tabaqat Ibn Sa'ad, Vol. 2, P. 224, European Edition Vol. 2 Part 2, P. 23, Balazari in Ansabul Ashrâf Vol. 1, P. 580 from the chain of narrators from Zar Ibn Hobaish it has been quoted from Abdullah bin Masood.

Imamat of Sâlim and Ibn Umme Maktum in place of the holy Prophet The elders of the school of Caliphate claim that such traditions prove the Caliphate of Abu Bakr. Now the question is: Whether praying in place of the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is the proof for being his successor and Caliph? I don't know how the scholars overlooked what Bukhari has stated in his Sahih?

Sâlim, the freed slave of Abu Huzaifa, used to lead the Prayer for Muhajireen and companions in Quba mosque, and amongst the companions were Abu Bakr and Umar.1 It is worth saying that Abu Bakr was there a Mamoom (praying behind), and following someone else, who was from Mawali (a freed slave).

Abu Dawood in his Sunan, and Ahmad in his Musnad narrate that the holy Prophet chose the son of Umme Maktum as the Caliph of Medina.2 In Musnad Ahmad there is a tradition, which indicates: Ibn Umme Maktum used to pray with the people although he was blind.3 In Magh?zi Waqidi (died in 207 A.H), Tabaq?t Ibn Sa'ad, and Sirah Ibn Hisham it is narrated that Ibn Umme Maktum took part in the battles of Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, P. 160 Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 2 P. 43, Musnad Ahmad Vol. 3, P.
