THE EVIL CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH
TRADITIONS ON THE BELIEFS OF MUSLIMS
In the traditions of the Caliphate School we find the
following narrations:
A - It has been narrated that the Messenger of Allah,
(S.A.W.A.) before his appointment had once invited
Zaid-ibn-Amro-ibn-Nufail to accompany him in eating. On
the table-cloth, meat could be found. Zaid refused to eat
and said:]
'I do not eat that which you sacrifice for the idols.
I only eat that meat (of animals) which has been
slaughtered in the name of Allah'.
B - It has been narrated that the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.A.) after his appointment had told someone as
such: 'My father and your father will be in the fire of
hell.'
C - It has been narrated that the Holy Prophet while
urinating in a standing position called Huzaifa who came
and stood behind Hazrat until he finished passing urine.
D - It has been narrated that Hazrat being caught
under the spell of the magicians was thinking that the
work which he had not (yet) performed has been performed
by him.
E - It has been narrated that on the day of 'Eid' two
little girls were singing in the presence of the Holy
Prophet, then Abu Bakr entered and said: 'Song and music
of Satan!? Song and music of Satan!?'
The Holy Prophet said: Leave them, O Abu Bakr. Every
nation has some festival and today is our festival.
(Eid-e-Fitr or Qurban)
F - It has been narrated that on the day of 'Eid', the
Holy Prophet carried Ayesha over his back such that her
head rested on the Prophet's shoulders and her cheek
touched the Prophet's cheek in order that she could see
the Habashis (Ethiopians) performing in the mosque of the
Holy Prophet.
Omar entered the mosque and prevented the Habashis
from their act. The Holy Prophet said: Leave them alone
O' Omar and then he told the Habashis as such:
'O Habashis, be free and in peace.
G - It has been narrated that when the people who were
witnessing the Habashis singing and dancing saw Omar
approaching, they began to disperse. The Holy Prophet
said: I am seeing the Satans of Jinn and men fleeing from
Omar'.
H - It has been narrated that Baridah was playing on a
tambourine in the presence of the Holy Prophet. As soon
as Omar entered, he took away the tambourine and sat over
it. The Holy Prophet said: 'O Omar, Satan fears you!'
TRADITION ON THE HOLY PROPHET CURSINGTHE MUSLIMS
Traditions which reveal the Messenger of Allah cursing
the Muslims are numerous.
In reply to those who would ask him about this very
matter, he would say:
«I have made a pledge and covenant with my Lord that
I am one human-being - I become happy just one ordinary
human-being becomes happy and (at times) I become angry
just as they become angry (due to various material
factors). So, O my Lord, whomsoever I have cursed from my
nation and he was not worthy of that curse, make him gain
the favour and closeness on the Day of Judgement!»
In another tradition he has said: 'O Lord whomsoever I
have harmed or used indecent words or cursed or lashed
(with a whip) turn this deed of mine into a source of
mercy and purity for him and a means of proximity in
thee.
THE HOLY PROPHET CONFESSED HIS IGNORANCEIN SOME OF THE WORLDLY MATTERS
Traditions of the Caliphate School of Thought:
Hazrat had forbidden the insemination (i.e.
pollination of the female date- palms) of the date palms.
In that year, the palms did not bear useful dates. Hazrat
asked: Why have those date-palms become fruitless?
They replied: It was because of your so and so
instruction.
He said: You are more acquainted than me in the
worldly affairs.
FORGETFULNESS OF THE HOLY PROPHETIN 'NAMAZ' (PRAYERS)
Traditions say. Once, the Holy Prophet had not
finished more than two rak'ats (units) of his night
prayers that he arose from his place and leaned himself
over some wooden piece in the mosque. The people said:
Have you forgotten the remaining portion of the prayers
or is it that the rak'ats (units) of prayers have been
reduced? He re plied: No, I have forgotten and it is not
that the prayers have been shortened.
However, when all reminded him together about the
recitation of two units of prayers, he returned back to
the prayer - niche and finished the remaining prayers in
congregation with them!
THE HOLY PROPHET RECITING PRAYERS IN
THE STATE OF 'JANABAT'(unwashed from a sexual intercourse)
Traditions say: One morning, when rows were formed for
the congregational prayers, the Messenger of Allah took
his position at the prayer-niche in order to lead the
people in prayers. All of a sudden he remembered that he
had forgotten the major ritual ablution. He turned
towards the people and said: 'Remain in your places until
I return. Thereafter he went to his house, took the major
ritual ablution and then came back to the mosque while
drops of water of ablution were still dripping from his
head. Moments later, he recited the 'Takbeer' (inaugural
phrase - God is Greatest -) and commenced his prayers.
CONCLUSION
Whatever mentioned so far concerns the ethical
personality of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.A.). There
are (yet) other traditions which are related to his
prophetic mission, the divine revelation and the
propaganda of the same to the people which is the
foundation of Hazrat's missionary character.
A - Traditions say: As he had forgotten some verses of
so and so chapter, he would omit them at the time of
recitation of the same. One day when he heard a Muslim
man reciting the same forgotten verses in the mosque he
said: 'May Allah bestow His Mercy on him. He has reminded
me of what I was omitting from the Quran.']
B - Traditions mention that when the Holy Prophet was
receiving revelation for the first time at Mount Hira, he
doubted in the Angel carrying the revelation least he may
be a Satan or Jinn wanting to beguile him. In that very
matter of revelation too, he fell into doubt - least the
words of revelation are like the cadence of the
soothsayers which the Satan or Jinn inspires them and he
too has become a soothsayer. Thus the Messenger of Allah
(S.A.W.A.) doubted as such in the heavenly revelation and
in the divine emissary until a Christian scholar
delivered him from the state of wandering and perplexity
and made him steadfast in his affairs.
C - Moreover, there are much greater tradicements than
these, such as the myths level led against the Holy
Prophet that the Satan was able to beguile him and make
him utter some words of honour in praise of the idols
such that the Prophet failed to distinguish the
truthfulness of revelation from Satan and the true
(divine) words from the cadence of Satan. As such, he
would recite the Satanic words thinking them to be a part
of heavenly revelation.
The calamity in some of the traditions can be seen
reaching to such pinnacle where God commands His Prophet
to follow others in the matter of legislation of laws. In
traditions it has come down that Quran is dependent on
the views and opinions of some of the common people. For
example:
D - The Messenger of Allah was about to recite 'Namaz'
(prayers) over the dead body of Abdullah-ibn Abi Munafiq
when Omar prevented him from doing so and said:
'Has not Allah prohibited you from reciting Namaz over
the hypocrites?'
The Messenger of Allah said: I have the option between
two affairs that Allah says:
[Arabic text]
Whether you seek forgiveness for them or not (is the
same); even if for seventy times you seek forgiveness for
them, God will never forgive them.
In spite of this, the Prophet prayed over the dead
body of Abdullah.
Thereafter, this verse was revealed:
[Arabic text]
'And never offer prayer for any one of them who dies
and do not stand by his grave!
E - Similarly, their narration that a divine
revelation commanded the Muslims to appoint for
themselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of
Ibrahim. This revelation came as per the suggestion of
Omar.
F - Likewise, the divine command ordering the
Prophet's wives to cover themselves in veil was in the
same manner.
Besides, there are yet many more other examples which
have been narrated in books of hadith, exegesis (of
Quran) and Manaqib (eulogistic biographies) for the sake
of brevity, we will avoid mentioning them.
THESE TRADITIONS CREATE A SPECIALINSIGHT IN THE CALIPHATE SCHOOL
As per the afore-said traditions, the Holy Prophet's
forefathers and ancestors were unbelievers and idol
worshippers while the others were following the upright
religion of Ibrahim. Likewise, the Holy Prophet too was
the same as he used to eat meat which was sacrificed for
the idols while those following the upright religion
abstained from consuming such meat.
As such, during the days of ignorancy, there were
people who were more superior (God forbid) than the Holy
Prophet.
Later on, when the Prophet was appointed to the post
of Messengership, one Christian man was more discerning
than the Prophet in the matter of Messengership and if it
was not for this Christian scholar, the Prophet would
have failed to perceive his own mission. Thus, this
Christian man possessed greater insight and
clear-sightedness than the Prophet and that too after the
latter's appointment to the position of Messengership!!!
The Holy Prophet's behaviour after appointment was
such that he used to urinate in public in a standing
position and like the other he would become influenced by
sorcery as a result of which his common sense would be
affected. In some cases, others were better off than him
like on the occasion when he forgot one or two units of
prayers and others reminded him of his forgetfulness.
The Holy Prophet forgets his 'janabat' (unwashed from
having had sexual intercourse) and leads the people in
prayers. At that moment he remembers that he is in the
state of 'janabat'.
The Holy Prophet curses, abuses and uses indecent
words against the believers whereas most of his followers
are innocent of these affairs.
Out of blunder the Holy Prophet prohibits the people
of Medina from insemination of the date-palms and the
dates in that year get spoiled. The Prophet makes such a
prohibition while (even) the children residing in palm-
lands are aware of this matter. As such, these children
are more clear-sighted than the Holy Prophet in worldly
affairs.!!
The Holy Prophet carries his wife on his back in such
manner that her cheek rests on his cheek so that she can
see the dance and play of the Habashis (Ethiopians) in
the mosque. This occurs at the time when majority of
Hazrat's followers refrain themselves from such an
indecent act. Thus, the common Muslims are more
preferable to the Prophet.!!?
The Holy Prophet listens to music and in fact approves
it. However his companions like Abu Bakr and Omar abstain
from it! Thus, these two are more superior than the
Prophet.!!?
The Holy Prophet drops some verses of Quran at the
time of recitation as he forgets them.!!.? He remembers
them only when other reciters (of Quran) recite them.
Thus, they are better and more preferable than the
Prophet.?!!
THE REASONS BEHIND THE DISSEMINATION
OF SUCH TRADITIONS IN THE CALIPHATESCHOOL OF THOUGHT
The materialistic life of the Caliphs which was full
of sport and foul play, debauchery, fornication and
corruption and their plunge into the sea of pleasures and
passions was fully incompatible and inconsistent with the
position of Caliphate which they claimed: i.e. the
succession to the immaculate prophethood and pureness
from such acts.
It is obvious that this contradiction has been
instrumental in impairing their dynastic rule.
Thus, it was necessary in this school of thought to
attribute traditions to the Holy Prophet and present his
(wrong) deeds to be lawful in order to justify the deeds
of the Caliphs.
The story of these Caliphs is similar to the story of
the Governor-General of Baghdad who never used to accept
bribe.
This story which was famous amongst the people of Iraq
goes as follows:
One of the Governor-Generals of the Uthmani Kingdom
who was nominated in Baghdad was a simple and
kind-hearted man. As such, he used to refuse to accept
bribes. For this reason, the officials and near ones
became deprived of accepting bribes and those who could
fulfil their aspirations through bribes were deprived of
the same and they were bought at bay.
One amongst them believed that if all acted upon his
plan then they could once again have access to bribes.
Thus, as per his plans all agreed to meet the Governor
the next morning and prejust him as a sick person and
pray to God for his fast recovery. The next morning, when
they implemented their plan their sayings had its effect
on the Governor and he was led to error. He felt uneasy
until he fell in bed.
At that moment, the main person who was behind this
plan called cone of the government officials and gave him
some amount of money and instructions to buy some sheep
and then sacrifice them and give them in charity for the
fast recovery of the Governor.
After this, each of those who had designed this plan
were taking precedence over each other in paying the
Governor a visit. They were complimenting him for the
disappearance of the signs of his illness and were every
now and then saying: Praised be God; mediation is very
near; for God has accepted our charity. In this way, the
Governor arose from the bed and returned back to the seat
of governorship.
The next day, the designer of this plan brought a bag
full of money for the Governor and said: This bag has
been given by so and so a person to the Governor as a
gift or bribe in order to win votes. The Governor refused
to accept the money. That man said: Didn't you see how
God accepted bribe from us and as a result saved you from
this terrible sickness!?
With this reasoning, the Governor fell into vain greed
and accepted the bribe. In this way, the door for
bribe-taking was opened for one and all....
The story of the Caliphs too was just the same. They
wanted to have sittings of joy, play tambourine, sing and
make all the unlawful acts (just as the same can be seen
in the historical books like Al-Aagani Abul Faraj
Esfahani) permissible for themselves. The enigency of
rulership called for fabrication of traditions for the
admissibility of the deeds and actions of the Caliphs (by
propagating that the Holy Prophet of Islam was himself
involved in such deeds).
Therefore it is quite obvious as to what was the basis
and need for such type of traditions. Unfortunately, the
European orientalists and Islamologists have relied more
on such traditions and have clunged to them in order to
justify their personal motives.
Why do the orentalists set such types of traditions as
a pretext!?
The Christian evangelists and the Jewish rabbis have
strived in their Eastern and Islamic research to present
the Quran as the outcome of human mind (negating the
revelation) and Islam as a terrestrial phenomenon.
For achieving this aim, what was better than
presenting proofs from Islamic documents.
However, as they could not find their aim and motive
in the authentic references and sources of Ahl-e-bayt,
they forsook them altogether and referred to the
Caliphate school. Of course in this school too, they
relied (only) on those traditions by means of which they
could attain their objectives and did not pay attention
to those correct traditions which could be seen here and
there in this school which was found to be contradictory
to their motives.
For example, the orientalists disregard the following
incident which has been narrated from Amir-ul-Mumineen.
In that tradition, Hazrat Ali declares his presence at
the outset of descension of revelation and says: I heard
at that moment a sound of shimpers and the Prophet said:
This is Satan who is groaning as he has become dejected
with his worship.
They have turned their face away from such types of
traditions which can be abundantly found in the school of
Ahl-e-bayt and have instead referred to the Caliphate
school. Moreover they have relied on those traditions
which help in fulfilling their sinister objectives and
that too such traditions whose narrators were not at all
present so that they could have a correct narration from
them.
By relying on these traditions, the biased
orientalists have narrated that the Messenger of Allah
became doubtful in the matter of revelation and thought
that whatever was being revealed upon him was in fact the
soothing words of the soothsayers which Satan has
inspired to him. In this manner, the Holy Prophet too is
a soothsayer like the other soothsayers.
However, they have not narrated the good and authentic
traditions which can he seen in the Caliphate school and
if at all they have narrated them, they have expressed
their doubt. For example, the tradition that the
Christian scholars and Jewish rabbis have years before
the Holy Prophet's appointment, informed his near ones
that he was the same Prophet about whom the past Prophets
have given glad-tidings....
* * *
The orientalists have disregarded tens of other such
traditions and halve referred to traditions which portray
an abominable and ugly picture of the Holy Prophet so
that under the light of these traditions, they could
wishfully create a blot on his heavenly visage.
Likewise, they have made an uproar out of the
'Charaniq' fable narratives and set them as documents and
have psychologically and sociologically analysed them.
However, they have never referred to what the student of
Imam Sadeq (A.S.) i.e. Hashim-ibn-Hakam al-Kalbi has
narrated and have never accepted his narrations which
happen to be a contradiction to the traditions belonging
to the Caliphate school so that they would realize that
it was the Quraishite polytheists (and not the Prophet)
who used to utter these sentences in praise for the idols
and Sura Najm has been revealed to rebuff them.
That which was befitting their personal desires was
mentioning the following:
In the worldly affairs of the people, the Holy Prophet
has given commands contrary too science and knowledge
like the command for non-insemination of date-palms as a
result of which he inflicted a heavy economic loss upon
the farmers of Medina. And when he realized his mistake
he said:
«You (all) are more aware and well-acquainted than me
in the worldly affairs.»
This attitude is in agreement with the insight of
Christianity and the like of them who say: Leave (alone)
the affairs of Casear to Casear himself and whatever is
related to God leave it to Him!
Consequently, if the Muslims wish so, they can take
from the East and West the matters related to economical
and social regulations. (This case too is spawned by
their material reflection. They say: 'Religion appoints a
person and regulates his relationship with God. However
his social connection should be defined by Eastern or
Western systems and regulations).'
