Tragedy of Thursday

[align=left]Part- 1. Incident of Pen & Paper:

:Posted by brother perplexed on HCY forum


(Shia Objection)
Hadrat Umar (radiallahu anhu) prevented Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) from writing out his last Testament in which he
wanted to specify the Khilafat of Hadrat Ali (radiallahu anhu)



Among the fabrications and slander of the Shi'as against Hadrat Umar
(radhiallahu anhu) is their claim that he (Hadrat Umar) had
prevented Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from writing a
last Testament which he had desired to write during his last illness.

During the last illness, on a Thursday, Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) asked the Sahaba who were present to bring pen and
paper to enable him to write something which will save them from
going astray. Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was in pain (it being his Maradhul
Maut) and the Kitab of Allah was sufficient. Difference of opinion
arose among the group present. When voices were raised, Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ordered them all to leave.

On the basis of this episode, the Shi'as charge Hadrat Umar
(radhiallahu anhu) with the following crimes:

(A) That he prevented Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from
writing out his last Testament in which he wanted to specify the
Khilafat of Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu).

(B) In having prevented Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam),
Hadrat Umar (according to the Shi'as) is guilty of preventing the
delivery of Wahi which Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) wanted to
have written.

If the Ahadith relevant to this episode are examined with a clear
and unbiased mind, the falsity of the Shi'a charges will be manifest.

(1) The request or order for pen and paper made by Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was not made directly and exclusively
to Hadrat Umar ( radhiallahu anhu). A group of Sahaba was present.
In some narrations, the term (bring for me) is used by Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam). This is a plural verb directed to the
group. In a narration in Musnad-e-Ahmad, Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu
anhu) mentions that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had
ordered him (i.e. Hadrat Ali) to bring the writing materials.

Why should the charge of refusal to bring the writing materials now
be leveled against Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) He was not
specifically singled out for this task. In fact, if anyone was
specifically deputed to bring the writing materials, it was a Hadrat
Ali (radhiallahu anhu). Why then do the Shi'as refrain from
criticizing Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) for having failed to
comply with Rasulullah's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)
instruction?

Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) on account of the severity of Nabi-e-
Kareem's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) illness, he did not comply.
He did not want to leave the presence of Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) whose demise, according to Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu
anhu) was imminent. So the Shi'a charge of disobeying Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) should be directed by them against
Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu), not against Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu
anhu).

(2) Secondly, Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) had merely presented
his opinion on the matter. He felt that it was unjust and an
imposition of a burden on Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to
have him dictate a testament in his state of extreme pain which he
experienced during his last illness. When Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu
anhu) presented his opinion, two groups formed. One group agreeing
and the other dissenting. As a result of this difference, voices
were raised, and Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ordered
them all out.

(3) If Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) was guilty as the Shi'as
allege, why did Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) order the
whole group to leave? This group included Hadrat Ali and Hadrat Ibn
Abbas (radhiallahu anhuma). It is quite obvious from the tenor of
the Hadith that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked them
to leave because of their mutual argument, not because Hadrat Umar
(radhiallahu anhu) or anyone else had prevented him from writing or
having the testament written.

(4) If whatever Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) wanted to
write was Wahi (Divine Revelation), then it is inconceivable that
anyone or anything could have prevented him from proclaiming the
Wahi which is obviously part of the Qur`an. How is it possible for
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to have concealed
(Nauthubillah!) the Wahi of Allah Ta`ala when throughout his life he
propagated the Truth and the Qur`an in the face of the greatest
dangers, persecution, tortures and hardships? Even in the initial
stages of his mission when he was all alone and weak, he never
desisted from proclaiming the Wahi of Allah Ta`ala, when he and the
Sahaba were suffering brutal tortures and hardships under the Kuffar
of Makkah.

How can people of Iman ever accept that Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) had withheld revelation or vital information of the
Deen merely because of an argument between the two groups of Sahaba?
How can this be imagined when the Qur`an says:

"O Rasool! Deliver what has been revealed to you from your Rabb.
If you do not, then you have not delivered (fulfilled) your
mission."

Several months prior to Rasulullah's demise the following ayat
was revealed:

"This day have I perfected for you your Deen and I have completed
for you My favour and have chosen for you Islam as (your) Deen."

When the Deen was already perfected, it is inconceivable that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) desired to write something
in addition to the perfected Message of Allah Ta`ala. If Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had withheld vital information of the
Deen, he would come within the purview of the aforementioned verse
in which it is said that `then you would not have delivered your
Mission.' But, it is unanimous in the Ummah and crystal clear
that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had delivered every
aspect of the Deen. Not an iota of Allah's Wahi was concealed as the
Shi'a ****************************ion implies.

Which Mu`min is prepared to believe that Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) had concealed any part of the Deen simply because
Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) had opined that there was no need for
writing anything during this state of illness of Nabi-e-Kareem
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) When Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu)
with all his hatred for Islam during his pre-Islam days, together
with the might and venom of the entire Quraish were unable to deter
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from proclaiming the Deen,
how can it be intelligently accepted that Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) withheld and concealed the Truth and the Deen when
there was absolutely no threat from any quarter confronting him?

(5) This episode transpired on Thursday. Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) lived another four days after this incident. If he
had vital Deeni information or Wahi to deliver, why did he not
execute this task during the four days succeeding this episode? What
was there to prevent him? And, if there was anything to prevent him
and he succumbed to the pressure, it will lead to the kufr
conclusion that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was guilty
of Kitmanul Haqq - Kitman-e-Deen (Taqiyyah - concealing the Truth
and concealing the Deen) - Nauthubillah! Only Shi'as possess the
capacity for entertaining such kufr and formulating such slander
which blemish the concept of Divine Nubuwwah.

During the four days after this episode, Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu
anhu) was not in the constant company of Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) nor was there any impediment to prevent him from
writing or proclaiming verbally what he had wished to have written
on that particular day (Thursday). Then what precluded him from
revealing to Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) or Hadrat Ibn Abbas
(radhiallahu anhu) or to any other Sahabi in the group which was in
favour of the testament whatever he wanted to have written. There
was sufficient time and opportunity in the four days prior to his
demise for recording whatever he wanted to say. But, on the
contrary, he simply left the subject. This indicates that whatever
he had wanted to have written was advice in general-such naseehat
which existed in the Qur`an and Sunnah. It is precisely for this
reason that Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) initially said "The
Kitaab of Allah is by us."

(6) If Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was constrained to
abstain from having his Message recorded, he could have proclaimed
the Message verbally at any other time subsequent to this incident
when Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) was not around. But, it is kufr,
clear and conspicuous, to even imagine that Hadrat Umar's
presence or anyone else's presence could deter Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) from proclaiming Wahi of Allah Ta`ala.

(7) On the occasion of the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah, Nabi (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam) instructed Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu), on the
insistence of the Kuffar, to erase the word, "Rasulullah",
from the treaty document. However, Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu)
emphatically refused and Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) then
erased the word with his own hands. But no Shi'a criticizes Hadrat
Ali (radhiallahu anhu) for an act which superficially appears to be
disobedience.

(Note: It is not our claim that Hadrat Ali's refusal was
disobedience nor did Rasulullah -sallallahu alaihi wasallam-construe
his refusal as disobedience). The point in mentioning this incident
is simply to present an analogy. If the Shi'as assert, as they do,
that Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) had opposed the wishes of
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) , then to a greater degree
should they charge Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) with disobedience
because he had not only ignored a wish of Rasulullah (sallallahu
alaihi wasallam), but refused a command.

(8) In the unanimous view of all the authorities of the Shariah,
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is Ma`soom, i.e. he is
Divinely guarded against all sin and disobedience. It is
inconceivable that the soul chosen by Allah Ta`ala to deliver the
Qur`an had concealed or withheld any part of the Deen. As far as the
Shariah is concerned, Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had
delivered it in entirety and perfection.

(9) It is quite obvious that whatever Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi
wasallam) wanted to have recorded pertained to general advice, hence
later on he did not even deem it necessary to pursue the matter.

(10) Even after having cancelled his initial proposal of having the
advice recorded, he instructed the Sahaba during the very same
episode to:

1) Expel the Mushrikeen from the Arabian peninsula.

2) To be hospitable to foreign delegations as was his practice.

3) Despatch the army of Usamah.

Although he ordered the Sahaba to leave, he nevertheless, issued
these last very important instructions. It is quite probable that
these were the very things he wanted to have written down. He
regarded these acts as vital, hence he made this order during his
last illness immediately after the episode out of which the Shi'as
endeavour to eke substantiation for their fabricated slanders and
charges against Hadrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu).

(11) When Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked them to
leave, he said :

" It is not appropriate for you to argue in my presence."

It is abundantly clear that he asked them to leave because of their
mutual argument. He did not make any reference to the issue of the
dispute between the two groups. When the Sahaba sought further
clarification from Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he
commented:

" The state in which I am (presently) is better than what you are
inviting me to."

Immediately after this comment, he commanded the expulsion of the
Mushrikeen from Arabia. All this indicates that he did not attach
importance to whatever he had initially wanted to have written or
that he had changed his mind.

(12) The logical conclusion of the Shi'a accusation is that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had either withheld or
concealed information pertaining to the Deen as a result of an
argument among the Sahaba. In a Hadith in Bukhari Shareef, Hadrat
Aisha (radhiallahu anha) said:

"Whoever says that Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had
concealed anything from what has been revealed to him, has most
certainly spoken a lie. Allah Ta`ala says (in the Qur`an): `O
Rasool ! Deliver what has been revealed to you from your
Rabb...'"

It should now be clear that the charges of the Shi'as against Hadrat
Umar (radhiallahu anhu) are baseless and pure slander. By
implication they are also accusing Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi
wasallam) of having concealed the Haqq on account of fear for Hadrat
Umar (radhiallahu anhu) But the absurdity of this implication is
manifest. Furthermore, whatever charge they have leveled against
Hadrat Umar (radiallahu anhu) in this issue rebounds on their
greatest Imam, Hadrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) as well, because the
instruction to bring the writing material was initially issued to
him. May Allah Ta`ala save us from the vile slander and kufr of the
Shi'as.
