A Question About Two of the Greatest, Most Eminent Companions


Questioner: We see that some of the scholars of hadith preferred ’Ali over ’Uthmaan [may Allaah be pleased with them both], what is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah about that?

Al-Albaani: Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah agree with the choice the Jamaa’ah made when they chose ’Uthmaan over ’Ali as their Khalifah after ’Umar. This is the conclusive answer on this topic.

Shee’ah Lies


 

The Imaam said, “What the Shee’ah say … that the Prophet said about ’Ali, may Allaah be pleased with him, ‘He is my Khaleefah after me,’ is not authentically established in any form whatsoever, in fact, it is one of their many fabrications which historical facts have proven to be wrong, because if it were assumed that the Prophet did say it, then it would have happened just as he said, for what he says is, ‘… a revelation revealed …’ [Najm 53:4]—and Allaah سبحانه fails not in His Promise.”
