Sh. Saduq narrated in his “Ilal ush sharae” (p167):
Translation:
The apostle of Allah SAWS said: “O ‘Abbas, do you accept to succeed me, implement my religion and fulfill my commitment?” al-‘Abbas said: “I am a man of old age, I have a big family and I have no money.” Then the Prophet SAWS repeated this to him three times but he rejected it. The Prophet SAWS then said: “I will give it to a man who deserves it and he shall not say what you say .” He said: “O ‘Ali, do you accept to succeed me, implement my religion and fulfill my commitment?” ‘Ali then felt as if he was being suffocated and couldn’t reply, then he saw the head of the Prophet SAWS going back and forth, the Prophet SAWS repeated his offer and ‘Ali replied: “Yes, may my mother and father be a sacrifice for you.”
As you can see stated that when prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) was on his death bed, after SO CALLED APPOINTMENT IN GADIR, he asked Abbas if he want to accept his wasiyah!!!
So Rafidis are saying that after appointing and Comfirming Ali(ra) as the prophet’s successor in Gadeer hoom,the prophet(saw)still went ahead consulting others if they can take the responsility?
No! pls be wise,what do u think the prophet is?
This narration is not authentic. And if you notice they are supposedly saying it was zayd bin Ali who said this and not the Imaam.
Either you guys didn’t want to translate full hadeeth before so you can confuse and be deceptive to the readers. Or you guys couldn’t translate the full words.
I think you should translate fully the hadeeth. Or at least before the underlined part
Did we say that it is words of Imam? No, so no need to make sui zann.
It is worth mentioning that it wasn’t the words of the Imaam. To the average reader, they would think it is the Imaam saying this thing occurred, since majority of our reports come from them. It would definitely put more light on the narration and its authenticity.
