    THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME RAFIDAH (shias) AND THEIR CRITICISM FROM SALAAF

    THE ORIGIN OF THE TITLE GIVEN TO MODERN DAY SHIA'AS I.e "RAFIDAH OR RAWAFIDH "

    The word Raafidah means rejecter, the Rawaafidh (all modern day shia'as and majority of theancestral shias) have obtained their name by their rejection of Zayd ibn Alee ibn al-Hussayn ibnAlee ibn Abee Taalib, the great grandson of Alee.Imaam adh-Dhahabee said in his Siyaar Alaam an-Nubalaa (5/390):

    Eesaa bin Yoonus said: The Raafidah came to Zayd and said to him,Free yourself from AbeeBakr and Umar so that we can aid you.He replied,Rather I will give allegiance to them (i.e.Aboo Bakr and Umar). They said, Then we reject you. So then it was said to them, ar-Raafidah (the rejecters).Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned in his Majmoo al-Fataawa (4/435):

    : :.:

    It was said to Imaam Ahmad: Who is the Raafidhee? He said: Those who insultAbaa Bakr and Umar.And by this they were named the Raafidah, for they rejected

    Zayd bin Alee when he gave allegiance to the two Khaleefahs Abaa Bakr and Umar,

    (so they rejected him) because of their hatred for them. And the one who hates them

    (i.e. Aboo Bakr and Umar) is a Raafidhee. And they were named as the Raafidhah

    because of their rejection of Abaa Bakr and Umar.

    He then said:

    And the foundation of rejection is from the hypocrites and the heretics, for theyfollowed the innovation of the heretic Ibn Saba.

    He also said in volume 28 on page 483:

    And the people of knowledge have mentioned that the beginning of the Rafdh (rejection) is

    from the Heretic (Zindeeq) Abdullaah bin Saba; for he manifestedIslaam and while he hid his Judaism and he sought to cause corruption in Islaam just

    like Paul the Christian, who was a Jew who caused corruption in the religion of the

    Christians.

    So the foundation of the Raafidhee belief is found in this man, Abdullaah bin Saba

    Note: this Man 'Abdullah ibn Saba is the founding father of Shi'ism, i.e the man who originated the

    fitnah and fasaad during the time of Uthman (r.a). He was originally a Jew disguised as a Muslim

    i.e pretending to be a Muslim, but he wanted to avenge himself and his family and etc by breaking

    the Ummah from within. There are tons of literature work on him, which will be converted here

    chain of narration that Aasim bin Bahdalah said:

    ::

    I said to al-Hasan bin Alee: The Sheeah claim that Alee will return. He said:

    Those liars have lied. For if we had known that, his women would not have married

    and we would not have divided his inheritance.

    :::) ( !! :

    Ibn Battah reported in his al-Ibaanah al Kubraa, in the chapter: Mentioning the sections of theNations in their religion and upon how many sects will the Ummah split into, from the Hadeeth ofAbee Alee bin Ismaaeel bin al-Abbaas al-Warraaq who said: al-Hassan bin Muhammad bin as-Sabaah az-Zafaraanee narrated to me that Shabbaabah said, that Sawaadah bin Salamah said thatAbdullaah bin Qays ) ) said:

    A group of Christians came to Alee ( ) and at the head of them was a major scholar

    of the Jews. So the leader said:

    You debate about how many groups the Jews split into? He said: Into seventy one

    sects. And Alee ( ) said:

    And this Ummah will split into similar to that, and the most deviated and evil sect of them:

    the ones who call to us (Ahlul Bayt), and a sign of them is that they insult Aboo Bakr and Umar

    :

    And as for Aboo Alee bin al-Abbaas al-Warraaq, then ad-Daaruqutnee reported from him andconsidered him reliable. And adh-Dhahabee said about him: ((The Scholars of hadeeth, the Imaam,the Proof)) and Yoosuf bin Amr al-Qawwaas mentioned him from the reliable scholars. Look toTaareekh Baghdaad (6/300) of al-Khateeb al Baghdaadee and al-Muntadhim (6/278) of Ibnul Jawzeeand Siyaar Alaam an-Nubalaa (15/74) of Adh-Dhahabee. And al-Hassan bin Muhammad bin as-Sabaah az-Zafaraanee is Reliable. SeeTahdheeb at-Tahdheeb (2/318) and at-Taqreeb (1/170) of Ibn Hajar al Asqalaanee.

    ( :)

    And Abul Qaasim al-Baghawee reported from Alee ( ) that he said: A group will arise inthe last times, they will have a nickname (an insulting name), they will be known as the

    Raafidhah (rejecters) and they will be known by it. They will say that they are our sheeah

    (our group) but they are not from our group. And the signs of that is that they will insult Abaa

    Bakr and Umar, where ever you find them, then kill them for they are mushrikoon

    (polytheists). [Da'eef]

    PROOFS FROM AHLE BAYT THAT THEY HATED THEIR SO-CALLED SHIA'AS

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    4/12

    Note: These are from shia'a sources and like their religion we don't believe in their reports for

    we have our (Sunni) sources well preserved unlike them and even though sometimes parts of

    these narrations match with our narrations, we (the sunnis) have a different context and

    understanding than these rawafidh. The below is only to counter the so called shia's (more

    appropriately known as rafidah) from their own books.

    Imam Jafar as-Sadiq ( ) said the following about the so-called Shia:

    No one bears greater hatred towards us [the Ahlel Bayt] than those who claim to love us.

    [Abdullh al-Mmaqn, Miqbs al-Hidyah vol. 2 p. 414 (Muassasat l al-Bayt li-Ihy at-Turth,Beirut 1991) quoting from Rijl al-Kashsh.]

    During the fight against the people of Syria [Muawiyyah], Ali said to his Shia:

    Woe to you. I am tired of rebuking you. Do you accept this worldly life in place of the next life? Ordisgrace in place of dignity? When I invite you to fight your enemy your eyes revolve as though youare in the clutches of death, and in the senselessness of last moments. My pleadings are notunderstood by you and you remain stunned. It is as though your hearts are affected with madnessso that you do not understand. You have lost my confidence for good. Neither are you a support forme to lean upon, nor a means to honour and victory. Your example is that of the camels whoseprotector has disappeared, so that if they are collected from one side they disperse away from theother side.

    [source: Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 34, http://www.al-islam.org/nahjul/34.htm]

    In the same sermon, Ali ( ) also condemns the Shia for being trouble-makers and fitnah-mongerers, saying:

    By Allah, how bad are you for igniting flames of war.

    Hasan did not trust these Shia either as they were very disloyal. In his book al-Ihtijj, theprominent Shia author Abu Mansur at-Tabarsi has preserved the following remark of Hasan:

    By Allah, I think Muawiyyah would be better for me than these people who claim that they aremy Shia (supporters).

    [Ab Mansr at-Tabars, al-Ihtijj vol. 2 p. 290-291 , Muassasat al-Alam, Beirut 1989]

    Distrusting his Shia, Hasan ( ) made peace with Muawiyyah ( ) and gave him theCaliphate. His Shia protested at this, and Hasans reply ( ) is preserved in the mostimportant of the Shia books of Hadith, Al-Kafi:

    By Allah, I handed over power to him for no reason other than the fact that I could not find anysupporters. Had I found supporters I would have fought him day and night until Allah decidesbetween us. But I know the people of Kufa (i.e a city in Iraq where the shia'as were dominant). Ihave experience of them. The bad ones of them are no good to me. They have no loyalty, nor anyintegrity in word or deed. They are in disagreement. They claim that their hearts are with us, buttheir swords are drawn against us.

    [Al-Kafi, vol. 8, p.288]

    Hussains cousin Muslim Ibn Aqil ( ) was sold out to Yezids men by the Shia. Muslim Ibn

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    5/12

    Aqil ( ) sent a message to Hussain ( ) warning him about the Shia of Kufa:

    Do not be deceived by people of Kufa. They are those same Shia of your father from whom he sodearly wished to part, by death or by being killed. The Kuffans have lied to me and have lied toyou, and a liar has no sense.

    Before being executed, Muslim Ibn Aqil ( ) said about the Shia:

    O Allah, You be the Judge between us and our people. They deceived us and deserted us.

    Then, Hussain ( ) would be betrayed by the Shia of Kufa, who would feed him to Yezidsmen who slaughtered Hussain ( ) at Karbala. Hussain ( ) would say before beingmartyred,

    Our Shia have deserted us.

    And the Shia betrayal of the Ahlul Bayt did not stop with Ali, Hasan, and Hussain; indeed, they didnot even spare Hussains grandson, Zayd ibn Ali ibn Hussain ( ). The Shia would betray himon the battlefield, defecting against him. Before being martyred, Zayd ( ) said:

    I am afraid they have done unto me as they did to Hussain .

    Ali ( ) condemned the Shia so many times in the Nahjul Balagha, page after page of howmuch he reviled the people who claimed to be his supporters. Here, Ali ( ) says that Allahwill destroy the Shia of Kufa if they continue to be decietful, and he asks Allah to change his Shiafor other supporters, because he distrusts his Shia who are not really his supporters but rather hisenemies:

    Ali chastises the Shia of Kufa:

    O Kufa, if this is your condition that whirlwinds [of deciet] continue blowing through you, then

    Allah may destroy youYour disobedience of your Imam in matters of right and their [the Syrians]obedience to their leader [Muawiyyah] in matters of wrong, their [the Syrians] fulfilment of thetrust in favor of their master [Muawiyyah] and your betrayal, their good work in their cities andyour mischief. Even if I give you charge of a wooden bowl I fear you would run away with itshandle.

    Ali invokes Allah against his Shia:

    O my Allah, they are disgusted of me and I am disgusted of them. They are weary of me and I amweary of them. Change them for me with better ones

    [ Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 25, source: http://www.al-islam.org/nahjul/25.htm]

    Ali says to his Shia at the Battle of Siffin:

    Keep quiet, may Allah make you ugly, O you with broken tooth. Certainly, by Allah, when truthbecame manifest even then your personality was weak and your voice was loose. But when wrongbegan to shout loudly you again sprouted up like the horns of a kid.

    [Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 183, source: http://www.al-islam.org/nahjul/183.htm]

    Ali says to his Shia:

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    6/12

    You are a group whose heads are devoid of wit and intelligence. May you have no father! Allahswoe be to you!

    [Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 36]

    There are tons and tons of such references wherein the Ahle Bayt has oppenly opposed,

    denounced and cursed their Shia'as such as :

    Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 4 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 29 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 39 , NahjulBalagha, Sermon 57 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 68 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 69 , Nahjul Balagha,Sermon 70 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 96 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 115 , Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 118, Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 124 , 126, 130, 179, 191 so on and so forth...

    ALI (R.A) ANGRY AT THE ONE WHO ELEVATES HIM ABOVE ABU BAKR AND UMAR (R.A.A)

    :. :

    And Alee bin Abee Taalib clarified that Abdullaah bin as-Sawdaa hated Abaa Bakr and

    Umar, so he gave importance to his killing. So the people became roused and said to him: Do

    you kill a man who calls to loving Ahlul Bayt? He said: Do not reside with me in my residence

    ever Then he ordered with his banishment to Madaain, the capital of Persia.

    : :

    And al-Hakm bin Hajal said: I heard Alee saying, Nobody honors me over Aboo Bakr and Umar( ) except punish him with the punishment of the lashing of a liar.

    Now this is a "mutawaatir" (too many to deny) narration and alhumdulillah summa alhumdulillah we(sunnis) have tons of such reports , some of which are :

    : :,

    Al-Mugheerah from Shabak: It had reached Ali that ibn al-Sawdaa(Ibn Saba) is insulting Abu

    Bakr and Umar so he called for him asked for a sword to kill himbut he was talked out of it so

    he said: He will not live with me in the same land then he exiled him to al-Madaen.

    [Source: al-Lalikaee in Sharh Iitiqad Ahlul-Sunnah #2379]

    Hafidh ibn Hajr quotes Ali :

    I will lash anyone who prefers me over Abu Bakr and Omar, the lashing of a slanderer

    (liar/spreading lies).

    [Lisan al-Mizan, Vol. III P. 290]

    Hafidh ibn Katheer in Bidaya wal Nihaya vol 7, chapter wrote:

    ! :

    And its proven from him [Ali] in tawatur form, that He said on the pulpit in Kufa: O

    people! The best one in this Ummah after her Prophet is Abu Bakr , then Omar , and if I wanted

    to say you the third name, I would do that.

    In Tuq Al-Hamamh by Yahya bin Hamzah Al-Zobaydi on the authority of bin Ghaflah Al-Jofi

    Al-Kufi (80H) who said that he entered upon Ali may Allah be pleased with him and said: I

    passed by some men. among them was Abdallah Ibn Saba, who were talking negatively about

    Abu Bakr and Omar saying that you [Ali] hold the same feelings towards them. Ali replied:

    What does this wretched black man (Ibn Sabas mother was Ethiopian) want from me? He then

    said: I seek refuge in Allah in holding anything but beautiful respect for them both. Then he

    sent after Ibn Saba and exiled him to Al-Madain (former capital of the Persian empire) and

    ascended the pulpit until the people were gathered, he then praised Abu Bakr and Omar, then

    he said: If it reaches me that anyone prefers me over them then I shall lash them as they do

    with the slandering liar

    From Abdullaah bin Salmah who said I heard Ali saying:

    The best of the people after the Messenger of Allaah is Abu Bakr, and the best of the people

    after Abu Bakr is Umar . . . . .

    [Collected by Ibn Majah in his Sunan & authenticated by Albaani no. 86]

    From Abu Juhayfah who said: I heard Ali saying:Shall I not inform you who is the best of thisUmmah after its Prophet, it is Abu Bakr. Then Ali continued: Shall I not inform you who is the

    best of this Ummah after Abu Bakr it is Umar.

    [Collected by Ahmad & authenticated by Ahmad Shakir. Imam Dhahabi said in Tareekh al-

    Khulafah p.115: I swear by Allaah the Magnificent, that this is what Ali said and it is Mutawatir

    from him, because he said this while on the Mimbar in Koofah, may Allaah fight the Rafidaah,

    how ignorant they are!]

    From Shaqeeq who said:

    It was said to Ali -Radi Allaahu anhu: Will you not appoint a leader? He replied: TheMessenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- did not appoint a leader, so how can I

    appoint one. If Allaah Tabaraka wa Taala wants good for the people then He gathers them

    as He gathered them after their Prophet upon the best of them. [i.e. Abu Bakr]

    CRITICISM OF THE SALAAF AGAINST THE RAWAFIDH

    First of All, we have numerous fataawas of scholars both from salaaf and

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    8/12

    khalaaf very sternly denouncing those who abuse or harm the sahaabas. you

    can read all these fataawas of our Imaams along with some other points fromQur'an and ahadeeth enlisting the superiority of Sahaabas here :http://the-

    finalrevelation.blogspot.in/2012/12/some-virtues-of-sahaabas-companions-of.html

    ( : ( :

    And Muhammad bin Saeed al-Asbahaanee said: I heard Shareek (Bin Abdillaah,Qaadhee of Koofaa) saying:

    Take knowledge from whoever you meet except the Raafidhah, for they fabricate hadeeth andtake it as religion.

    :

    And Aboo Zurah ar-Raazee said:

    If you find a man insulting any one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah ) )then know that he is a Heretic (Zindeeq).

    Allaah says in Surah Fath:

    Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against

    disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate

    (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their

    Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). Thisis their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a

    (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it

    stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with

    them. Allah has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic

    Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous

    good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise). [Al-Fath: 29]

    Ibn Katheer said in his Tafseer (4/219):

    :

    And in this verse Imaam Maalik ( ) used as evidence for the Takfeer of the Rawaafidh, thosewho are enraged with the Sahaabah ( ). He said: That is because they become enragedwith them and whoever is enraged with the Sahaabah then he is a Kaafir (disbeliever)due to this verse and a group of the Ulemaa (scholars), may Allaah be pleased with them (theSahaabah ), agreed with him on that.Imaam al-Qurtubee said in his Tafseer (16/297):

    Maalik has done good in his statement and is correct in his interpretation, for anyone who lowersone of them or insults them in his narration them he has gone against Allaah, the Lord of All theWorlds, and falsified the legislation of the Muslims.

    And it is mentioned in As-Saarim al-Maslool of Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah:

    And Maalik, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: This group of people wanted to revile theProphet but it was not possible for them, so they reviled the Companions until it wassaid about them: And evil man, even if he was a righteous man, however his companions arerighteous.

    And Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah also said:

    Whoever insults the Prophet should be killed, and whoever insults his Companionsshould be punished.

    And Abdul-Maalik bin Habeeb said:

    Whoever goes to extremes from the Sheeah in hating Uthmaan and freeing himself from himthen he should be punished with a severe punishment, and if he increases to hating Abee Bakr andUmar then his punishment is harsher, and he should be beaten

    and his imprisonment increased until he dies.

    And al-Qaadhee Iyyaadh mentioned in his al-Madaarik:

    ()) (

    ) (

    Haaroon ar-Rasheed had entered the Masjid and he sat down then he went to the grave of theProphet and then he went to the sitting of Maalik and said: As-Salaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakaatu. And Maalik said: Wa alaikum as Salaam wa rahmatullaahi wabarakaatu. Then he said to Maalik: Is there any right for gain for the one who insults thecompanions of the Prophet ? He (Maalik ) said: No, and no honor. He said: Andfrom where do you say that? He said: Allaah says: So that the disbelievers may become enragedwith them so whoever thinks bad of them then he is a Kaafir (disbeliever) and there is no right forthe disbeliever in the gains. And he used again as a proof: For the Fuqaraa and theMuhaajiroon, he said: For they are the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah ,those who migrated with him, and aided him and those who come after them say: O our Lordforgive us and those who preceded us in Faith and do not make in our hearts spite for those who

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    10/12

    believe, O our Lord verily you are the Most Merciful so whoever insults one of them then there isno right for them in it.

    Ibn Hazm reported,

    17

    That Hishaam bin Ammaar heard Imaam Maalik issuing a ruling of punishment of lashing for theone who insults Aboo Bakr and the punishment of killing for the one who insults the Mother of theBelievers, Aaishah. So he was asked about the reason of the killing of the one whom insultsAaishah so he said:Because Allaah prohibited that with a strong prohibition in Surah an-Noor, verse 17and warned us never to do that.

    Imaam Aboo Haneefah said when the Sheeah was mentioned to him:

    Whoever doubts in their disbelief then he is a disbeliever like them.

    Imaam Aboo Bakr al-Khallaal mentioned in his Sunnah (2/557) from Abee Bakr al-Maaroodhee who reported that Maalik bin Anas said:

    The one who reviles the Companions of the Prophet ( ) does nothave any share or portion in Islaam.

    Al-Khallaal also reported (2/557 558) that Imaam Ahmad said:

    The one who reviles the Companions, I fear for him disbelieve like that of the Rawaafidh.

    Imaam as-Samaanee said in his Al-Insaab 6/341,

    And the Ummah has consensus on the takfeer of the Imaamiyyah (raafidah), because they believethat the Sahaabah deviated and they denounce their consensus and ascribe to them that which isnot affirmed of them.

    Imaam al-Bukhaaree said in his Khalq Afaal al-Ibaad 125,

    I do not give any consideration to prayer behind the Jahmee and the Raafidhee, norpraying behind a Jew or Christian. Do not greet them (i.e. the Jahmee and the Raafidhee), do notvisit them, do not marry them, do not accept their testimony, nor eat their sacrificed.

    Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah reported in his as-Saarim al-Maslool on page 570 that

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    11/12

    Ahmad bin Yoonus said:

    If a Jew was to sacrifice a sheep and a Raafidhee was to sacrifice one, I would eat thesacrifice of the Jew, and I will not eat the sacrifice of the Raafidhee because they are apostatesfrom Islaam.

    Al-Bukhaaree reported in his Khalq Afaal al-Ibaad (125) from ibn Mahdee that hesaid,

    They are two separate religions, the Jahmiyyah and the Raafidhiyyah.

    Imaam al-Laalikaaee reported in his Usool al-Itiqaad Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaaah:

    I heard from Abdur-Rahmaan bin Mahdee and asked him about the Salaah behindthe people of desire and he said:

    Yes, do not pray behind those two groups, the Jahmiyyah and the Rawaafidh, for theJahmiyyah are disbelievers in the Book of Allaah.

    Ibn Battah reported in his al-Ibaanah (Number 200) that al-Marwazee said that heasked Aboo Abdillaah Ahmad bin Hanbal about the one who reviles Aboo Bakr andUmar and Uthmaan and Aaishah ( ) and he said:

    I do not see him upon Islaam.

    Imaam Ibn Hazm al-Andalusee said in his Fisal fee Milal wan Nihal (2/213):

    ) (

    And as for their statement (meaning the Christians) in the case of the Rawaafidh and theirchanging of the Quraan, then the Rawaafidh are not from the Muslims. Indeed it is a sect which

    the first of them arose after the death of the Messenger of Allaah ) ) by 25 years andit is a group that went the way of the Jews and the Christians in lying and disbelief.

    Imaam ash-Shaafiee and other Ulemaa stated that we should not narrate from the RaafidhahSheeah as they are amongst the liars.

    Ibn Taymiyyah reported in his Minhaaj as-Sunnah (1/59 -62):

    Mumal Ibn Ihaab said: I heard Yazeed Bin Haaroon (d. 206H) saying, The narrations of every

  • 7/28/2019 The Origin of the Name Rafidah

    12/12

    person of innovation can be written as long as he is not a caller to it, except the Raafidah, sincethey are liars.

    Ibn Taymiyyah recorded in his Minhaaj as-Sunnah (1/69):

    Aboo Haatim ar-Raazee (d.277H) said,

    I heard Yoonus bin Abd al-Alaa saying: Ashhaab bin AbdulAzeez asked Maalik (d.179H) aboutthe Raafidah, so he said, Do not speak to them and do not narrate from them, since they lie.

    And Aboo Haatim said,

    Harmalah related to us saying: I heard ash-Shaafiee (d.204H) saying,"I have not seen anyonetestifying for more evil than the Raafidah.

    Imaam Ibn Battah mentioned in his al-Ibaanah (Number 193) that Aboo Bakr binAyyaash said:

    I will not pray over the Raafidhee or the Harooree, because the Raafidhee makes Umar a kaafir(disbeliever) and the Harooree makes Alee a Kaafir.

    Shaykhul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah said in his Majmoo al-Fataawa (28/ 482) about theRawaafidh:

    They are an evil from the general people of desires, and they are more deserving of being killedthan the Khawaarij.

    Al-Khallaal reported in his Sunnah (2/566) that Moosaa bin Haaroon bin Ziyaad said:
