The Devil’s Deception of the Raafidah – Imaam Ibn Jawzee
It has been narrated to us from As-Saffaah that
he delivered a sermon one day when a man from the descendants of ‘Alee, may
Allaah be pleased with him, stood up and said: “O chief of the believers! Help
me against he who has oppressed me.”
He said: “Who has oppressed you?”
He (the man) said: “I am from the children of
‘Alee, may Allaah be pleased with him, and the one who has oppressed me is Aboo
Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, when he took Fadak from Faatimah.”
He (As-Saffaah) said: “And he continued in this
oppression of you?”
He said: “Yes.”
He said: “Who took over after him?”
The man said: “’Umar, may Allaah be pleased with
him.”
He said: “And he continued in this oppression of
you?”
The man said: “Yes.”
He said: “Who took over after him?”
The man said: “’Uthmaan, may Allaah have mercy
upon him.”
He said: “And he continued in this oppression of
you?”
The man said: “Yes.”
He said: “And who took over after him?”
He began looking around here and there for a
place to which he could flee.
Translator’s note: The one who took over after
‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan, may Allaah be pleased with him, was ‘Alee ibn Abee
Taalib, may Allaah be pleased with him. Yet, he did not restore this alleged
right which was for Faatimah (according to the Raafidah) because Aboo Bakr, may
Allaah be pleased with him, was correctly implementing the statement of
Allaah’s Messenger
لا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا
صَدَقَةٌ
“We (the prophets) are not inherited from. That
which we leave behind is charity.”
The man knew this fact and hence felt foolish
after it was pointed out to him.
