Hazrat Ali says Abu Bakr and Umar are more afzal

[Sohail]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

`Umar Radi Allahu anhu said:

"Abu Bakr’s faith outweighs the faith of the entire Umma."

This is confirmed by the following hadith: The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam asked: "Did any of you see anything in his dream?" A man said to the Prophet: "O Messenger of Allah, I saw in my dream as if a balance came down from the heaven in which you were weighed against Abu Bakr and outweighed him, then Abu Bakr was weighed against `Umar and outweighed him, then `Umar was weighed against `Uthman and outweighed him, then the balance was raised up." This displeased the Prophet who said: "Successorship of prophethood (khilâfa nubuwwa)! Then Allah shall give kingship to whomever He will." `Umar also said: "The best of this Community after its Prophet is Abu Bakr." `Ali named him and `Umar the Shaykh al-Islam of the Community and said: "The best of this Community after its Prophet are Abu Bakr and `Umar," "The most courageous of people is Abu Bakr," and "The greatest in reward among people for the volumes of the Qur’an is Abu Bakr, for he was the first of those who gathered the Qur’an between two covers." He was also the first to name it mushaf.

[Sohail]

Abu Bakr’s high rank is indicated, among other signs, by the fact that to deny his Companionship to the Prophet entails disbelief (kufr), unlike the denial of the Companionship of `Umar, `Uthman, and `Ali to the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. This is due to the mention of this companionship in the verse: "The second of two when the two were in the cave, and he said unto his companion: Grieve not" (9:40) which refers, by Consensus, to the Prophet and Abu Bakr.

Allah further praised him above the rest by saying: "Those who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest of you)." (57:10)

[Sohail]

The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam confirmed his high rank in many of his sayings, among them:

"Allah gave one of His servants a choice between this world and what He has with Him, and that servant chose what Allah has with Him." Abu Bakr wept profusely and we wondered why he wept, since the Prophet had told of a servant that was given a choice. The Prophet himself was that servant, as Abu Bakr later told us. The Prophet continued: "Among those most dedicated to me in his companionship and property is Abu Bakr. If I were to take an intimate friend other than my Lord, I would take Abu Bakr. But what binds us is the brotherhood of Islam and its love. Let no door [of the Prophet’s mosque] remain open except Abu Bakr’s."

"I am excused, before each of my friends, of any intimate friendship with anyone. But if I were to take an intimate friend, I would take Ibn Abi Quhafa as my intimate friend. Verily, your Companion is the intimate friend of Allah!"

"You [Abu Bakr] are my companion at the Basin and my companion in the Cave."

"Call Abu Bakr and his son so that I will put something down in writing, for I fear lest someone ambitious forward a claim, and Allah and the believers refuse anyone other than Abu Bakr."

`Amr ibn al-`As asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most beloved of all men to you?" He replied: "Abu Bakr."

"It is impermissible for a people among whom is Abu Bakr, to be led by other than him."

"Take for your leaders those who come after me: Abu Bakr and `Umar."

"O`Ali! Abu Bakr and `Umar are the leaders of the mature inhabitants of Paradise and its youth among the first and the last, except for Prophets and Messengers."

"The sun never rose nor set over anyone better than Abu Bakr."

"The Prophet used to hold nightly conversations with Abu Bakr in the latter’s house, discussing the affairs of Muslims, and I [`Umar] was present with them."

yes i know him through PM

the brothe has been member on this forum since ages. no one of the learned brothers (saalik, musafir,fana fi shaykh) have said his postings are wrong,

you are simply implying that the brother is a shia because he does not agree with you that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddqui Radi Allahu anhu is more afzal then Hazrat Ali Radi Allahu anhu

But as i have stated before there is a diffrence of opnion amounst the scholars. Hazrat Syed Naseruddin Naseer Rahmatullahi 'alayh said that Hazrat Ali Radi Allahu anhu is most praisworthy after Huzoor Sarwar E konain Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam

my last reply on this thread as i dont want to get into a debate.

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

The Question should be, did you post this thread, regarding the most beautiful Sahaba Hazrat Abu Bakar Sadeeq Radi Allahu anhu to teach everyone about Hazrat Abu Baqar Radi Allahu anhu or to start fitna and see if certain members would reply to these threads?

Me, along with the other mods are getting tired of this bickering and petty fights, and will deal the members involved directly now
