Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Question & Answer Question 30 : Do the Shia Believe That Gabriel Was Not Faithful in Communicating the Message and That He Revealed the Quran To Allah's Messenger Instead of Revealing It To Ali Ibn Abi Talib? From the above-mentioned collection of narrations, one can benefit that Abdul Malik bin Omair had the following characteristics: Had a weak memory and was very forgetful.

Was regarded weak himself, (According to the terminology of Ilm Al Rijal) i.e., someone whose narrations cannot be trusted. Makes critical mistakes. One who mixes and confuses one tradition with the other. It is this clear that each of the mentioned characteristics by itself is proof enough to clarify the baselessness of Abdul malik bin Omairs traditions, considering to all the weak points that he possessed.

ANSWER: Before we go on to prove the baselessness of this false accusation that some unaware individuals seem to attribute to the Shia, it is suitable to find the root for these accusations.

Roots For The Accusation: According to the Holy verses of the Quran and the related narrations from the prophet, it is quite evident about the belief of the jews, that Gabriel committed treason in communicating the message, because God had ordered him for the prophecy to be in the house of Israel, however, he, against the command of God, placed it in the lineage of Ismail.

Thus, the Jews considered Gabriel as an enemy and the phrase, 'khan Al-Ameen' i.e., Gabriel committed treason' became their slogan.

The Holy Quran criticizing them and proving the falsehood of their speech, identified Gabriel as the trusted angel in the following verse: "The faithful spirit has descended with it, upon your heart that you may be of the warners." And in another verse said: "Say: Whoever is the enemy of Gabriel- for surely he revealed it to your heart by Allah's command." From the verses mentioned, considering their commentaries, it becomes clear that the Jews, for some reasons, had enemity against Gabriel, calling him the angle of torture and accusing him of committing treason in communicating the message.

Thus, the root of the slogan of 'khan Al-ameen' originated from the Jewish people's superstitions and some of the ignorant propagators who had an old enmity with the Shia, ruminating the speech of the Jews and dastardly accusing the Shia of this accusation.
