SHIAISM AND THE NOBLE MOTHERS OF UMMAH

"The Nabi has a greater claim on the Believers than their ownselves. And, his wives are their mothers."

Thus, an article of our Imaan is honor, respect and love for Umaahatul Mu'mineen, the holy Mothers of the Believers, Viz., the honorable wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Whoever denigrates them and brands them as unbelievers, is himself/herself a kafir.

Among the honorable wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), Hadhrat Aishah (Radiallahu Anha) and Hadhrat Hafsah (Radiallahu Anha) are special targets for Shi'i abuse, slander and vilification. This is because they are the daughters of Hadhrat Abu Bakr and Hadhrat Umar (Radiallahu Anhuma) respectively. The same degree of hatred cherished by Shiahs for Shaikhain (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar (Radiallahu Anhuma) is gorged out against Hadhrat Aishah and Hadhrat Hafsah (Radiallahu Anhuma). Shi'i narration's shamelessly describe these illustrious and noble wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) as kafir, Munafiq, etc. The worst of slanders and calumnies are leveled against them.

Mullah Baqir Majlisi, in his book, Hayatul Quloob - one of the most authoritative books of the Shiah religion - repeatedly described Hadhrat Aishah and Hadhrat Hafsah (Radiallahu Anhuma) as munafiqs (hypocrites).

In this book, Baqir also alleges:

"Aishah and Hafsah martyred Rasulullah by giving him poison.

(Vol. 2, Page 870)

Accusing Shaikhain and their daughters of conspiracy to murder Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), the Shi'i, Baqir writes in Hayatul Quloob on page 745 of Vol. 2:

"Thus these two male munafiqs (referring to Abu Bakr and Umar) and those two female munafiqs (referring to Aishah and Hafsah) agreed to martyr Rasulullah by administering poison to him. "

Mutahhiri, a leading cleric of the Shiah religion, says:

"Now that we see Ali, and Ammaar, Uways al-Qarani and others face to face with Aishah and az-Zubayr and Talhah, we do not feel any hesitation, for we see the second group as people with the look of criminals, that is, the effects of evil and treachery are evident on their faces: and when we look at their faces and their treacherous characters we guess that they are people of the Fire. "(TEHRAN TIMES, 25th August, 1982)

From the above vile remarks made by one of Khomeini's leading Shi'i theologians, it will be evident that the Shiah religion describes Hadhrat Aishah Siddiqah (Radiallahu Anha) the beloved wife of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) as a criminal, evil, treacherous and among the people of Jahannum--Naauthubillaah! But, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) warned:

"Do not hurt me regarding Aishah."  (Bukhari-Muslim)

"The superiority of Aishah over women is like the superiority of thareed (a kind of food) over all food."                                 (Muslim)

"0 Aishah! Jibraeel recites Salaam upon you."   (Muslim)

In the Shiah religion, Hadhrat Zubair (Radiallahu Anhu) is described as a criminal, evil, treacherous and among the people of Jahannum-Nauthubillah! But, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said about Zubair: "Every Nabi had a hawaari (helper) and my hawaari is Zubair."

"Zubair will be in Jannat." (Tirmizi)

Hadhrat Zubair and Hadhrat Talhah whom the Shiahs claim are among the "people of the Fire", are in fact members of the Ashrah Mubashsharah who are the ten Sahaabah unto whom Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) delivered the glad tidings of Jannat. These Sahabah already were informed by Nabi-e- Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that their place in Jannat has already been
secured, but Khomeini and his Shiahs believe that these noble men are among the people of the Fire.

The Shiahs believe that Hadhrat Talhah (Radiallahu Anhu) is evil, treacherous, a criminal and among the people of the Fire, but Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Talhah and Zubair will be my two neighbors in Jannat." 

(Tirmizi)

The Qur'an Shareef speaks glowingly regarding the Sahabah. In one place, the Qur'an praises the Sahabah in the following terms:
                         

But, Shi'ism preaches that all these Muhajireen and Ansar among the Sahabah, in fact all the Sahabah with the exception of three, reneged from Islam, i.e. they became murtads and kafirs after the demise of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Thus, the "Asah-hul Kutub" The Most Authentic "of Books" of the Shiah religion, Al-Jamiul Kafi, states in its chapter, Kitabur Raudhah on page 115:

"After (the demise of) Nabi-(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) - all the people (i.e. the Sahabah) became murtads, excepting three. - Miqdad Bin Aswad, Abu Zar Ghifari and Salman Farsi, the Rahmat and Barkat of Allah be on them."

SHIA'S BELIEFS WITH REGARDS TO THE HAZRAT AYESHA (RTA) - THE WIFE OF RASULULLAH (SAW) :

• Mullah Baqir Majlisi writes:

'When Imam Mahdi arrives, Ayesha will be resurrected so that she may be given a prescribed punishment and that Fatima be vindicated.' (Haqqul Yaqeen: 347)

• The same author writes about Ayesha that "She was a traitor." (Tadhkiratul Aimmah: 66)

• Again, Mullah Baqir Majilisi comments about Ayesha (R.A.) and Hafsa (R.A.) that: "They were both hypocrites." (Hayatul Quloob: 2:745)

Imam Khomeini writes about the prestige and worth of the oft-quoted Mullah Baqir:

'Keep on reading the Persian books written by Majlisi so that you do not fall into any other such stupidity.' (Kashful Asrar: 121)

• Maqbool Dehlavi, a Shi'ite translator of the Quran, quotes Imam Baqir as saying:

'Two women poisoned the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) before his death. These are the same two women (Ayesha and Hafsa). May Allah curse them and their fathers (Abu Bakr and Omar respectively). (His translation of Surah Ale Imraan: 134).
