‘Umar (ra) takes the opinion of ‘Ali (ra) in al-Kafi


Bismillah,

And he rejected his Quran, and he burned his house, and he tied him up, and he beat up his wife, and he killed her unborn child, and he usurped his right, and he forced him to give him his daughter in marriage otherwise he’d cut his hand ect… and all of those Shia accusations against Ameer al-Mumineen al-Farooq ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (ra) and look at what they wrote in their Kafi:

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ فَهَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَ أُخِذَ الْآخَرُ فَجِي‏ءَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تَرَوْنَ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَذَا اصْنَعْ كَذَا وَ قَالَ هَذَا اصْنَعْ كَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ قَالَ اضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ

Abdul-Rahman al-‘Arzami said: I heard abu ‘Abdullah (as) say: During the emirate of ‘Umar, they found a man (sleeping) with another man, so one of the two managed to run away and the other was caught, they then brought him to ‘Umar who said to the people: “What do you think we should do?” so one man said: “Do so and so” and another said: “Do so and so”, so ‘Umar said: “What do you think O abu al-Hassan?” ‘Ali replied: “Strike his neck” then ‘Umar did so.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَجْلِدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ فَقَالَ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَ يَزِيدُ كُلَّمَا أُتِيَ بِالشَّارِبِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ يَزِيدُونَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى ثَمَانِينَ أَشَارَ بِذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى عُمَرَ فَرَضِيَ بِهَا .

Yunus from abu Baseer from abu ‘Abdullah (as): I asked him: “How did the Prophet (SAWS) used to whip?” He (as) said: “They would hit him with their boots and increase more if he drinks more until he (SAWS) stopped at eighty, ‘Ali (as) advised ‘Umar to do so and he accepted it.”

And check this out! The evil oppressor according to their religion punishes his own son and allows his supposed “enemy” to beat him up!

al-Kafi vol.7 pg.214:

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ أُقِيمَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ فَلَمْ يَتَقَدَّمْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ يَضْرِبُهُ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) بِنِسْعَةٍ مَثْنِيَّةٍ فَضَرَبَهُ بِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ .

Zurarah said: I heard abu Ja’far (as) say: ‘Ubeidullah bin ‘Umar was to be punished for drinking wine, so ‘Umar ordered that he be beaten as punishment but no one stepped up to do this task, then ‘Ali (as) stood up and hit him with a solid object forty times.

‘Ali bin Ibrahim from his father from ibn Faddal from ibn Bakeer from abu ‘Abdullah (as): A man drank wine during the time of Abu Bakr, so he was brought to Abu Bakr, so he said to the man: “Did you drink wine?” He said “Yes” He said: “Why did you do this when it is Haram?” The man said: “I became a Muslim and my Islam was correct and strong, but my house lies behind the house of some folks who drink it and consider it Halal, If I knew it was Haram I would have avoided it.” Abu Bakr then turned towards ‘Umar and said: “What do you say about this man’s issue?” ‘Umar replied: “It is problematic, only abu al-Hassan can handle it.” so Abu Bakr said: “Call on ‘Ali” but ‘Umar said: “If one seeks a judge he must go to his home.” so they both stood up with the man and those who were present and they all went to Ameer al-Mumineen (as) and they both told him what the man’s story was and the man narrated his story, ‘Ali said: “Send with him a man to accompany him to the Majlis of the Mouhajirun and the Ansars, if any man among them had told him about the verse which makes it forbidden then do that(Punishment) to him.” so they went and no one testified thus the man was released and he told him: “Do not go back to drinking again.”

‘Ali bin Ibrahim from his father from Safwan bin Yahya from ‘Abdul-Rahman bin al-Hajjaj: A man left Madinah and headed to ‘Iraq, so two blacks followed him and one of them was a servant of abu ‘Abdullah (as), and when he reached (a location called) al-A’awas he fell asleep, so they both carried a boulder and broke his skull with it, so they were brought to Muhammad bin Khaled bin ‘Abdullah al-Qusari (Governor of Madinah during al-Mansoor’s time) and the Awliyaa of the dead man came and demanded that they be tied up, but Ibn Khaled hated to do this (without asking) so he asked abu ‘Abdullah (as) about it be he never answered him. ‘Abdul-Rahman(Narrator) said: I thought that he hated to answer him because he does not see that it is correct to kill two for one, then the Awliyaa of the dead man complained about the action of Muhammad bin Khaled to the people of Madinah, the people of Madinah told them: “If you seek to get justice done and you are oppressed then go to Ja’far bin Muhammad (as) and complain to him.” So they did. Ja’far bin Muhammad (as) said: “Tie them up!” and when they were brought and tied up, the face of the servant abu ‘Abdullah (as) turned black like ink, when they mentioned it to abu ‘Abdullah (as) they said: “May Allah fix your affair, when he was brought to be executed his face darkened like ink.” He (as) said: “He used to blaspheme against Allah publicly” and both were killed.

‘Amro bin abi al-Miqdam said: I was present near the Ka’abah when a man started calling on abu Ja’far al-Mansoor while he was making Tawaf, he would say: “O Ameer al-Mumineen, these two men knocked on my brother at night and they took him out of his house and by Allah he never returned to me, I do not know what they might have done to him!” So al-Mansoor said: “What have you two done to him?” they answered: “We only spoke to him and then he returned home.” so he said to them: “You two meet me tomorrow during the ‘Asr prayer in this same place.” So they did that on the next day, al-Mansoor then said to abu ‘Abdullah Ja’far bin Muhammad (as) while holding his hand: “O Ja’far, you judge between them.” abu ‘Abdullah (as) said: “O Ameer al-Mumineen, you judge between them.” so al-Mansoor said: “By my right on you, you need to judge between them.” so they prepared a place for abu ‘Abdullah to sit in and the men sat in front of him, he (as) said: “What say you?” the man said: “O son of Rassul-Allah (SAWS) these two knocked on my brother at night and they accompanied him out of his house and by Allah he never returned, I do not know what they did to him.” he (as) said: “What do you two say?” they said: “O son of Rassul-Allah (SAWS) we spoke to him and then he went back home.” so Ja’far said: Write down: In the name of Allah, the Prophet (SAWS) said: “every man who knocks on another at night and accompanies him out of his home must guarantee him, unless he can prove that he returned him back to his house.” Ja’far then said: “Boy, let that one step aside and strike the neck of this one.” The man said: “O son of Rassul-Allah (SAWS), by Allah I did not kill him, I only held him and that man came and stabbed him.” so Ja’far said: “Boy! let that one step aside and strike the neck of the other one.” So the man said: “O Son of Rassul-Allah (SAWS), I did not torture him, I killed him with one blow.” So he ordered that his neck be struck and ordered that the sides of the second man be struck and he was imprisoned for life and lashed fifty times every year.

WHERE IS THE TAQQIYAH!?

But wait, didn’t the Shia narrate many Hadiths stating to oppose the Fatwa of the Sunnies? didn’t they narrate things along the lines of:

Shaikh of rawafidh, which they nick names as-Saduq in his book “Ilal ash-sharae” (2/532) entitled chapter in following way:

العلة التي من أجلها يجب الأخذ بخلاف ما تقوله العامة

CHAPTER: “The reason why one should take what opposes the mainstream muslims”

First hadith from it:

1 حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْأَرَّجَانِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَ تَدْرِي لِمَ أُمِرْتُمْ بِالْأَخْذِ بِخِلَافِ مَا تَقُولُ الْعَامَّةُ فَقُلْتُ لَا نَدْرِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ع لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدِينُ اللَّهَ بِدِينٍ إِلَّا خَالَفَ عَلَيْهِ الْأُمَّةُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ إِرَادَةً لِإِبْطَالِ أَمْرِهِ وَكَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَنِ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُونَهُ فَإِذَا أَفْتَاهُمْ جَعَلُوا لَهُ ضِدّاً مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ لِيَلْبِسُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ

Abu Abdullah (alaihi salam) said: “Do you know why we order you to take that which opposes the mainstream muslims?” I said: I don’t know. He said: “Because ‘Ali (alaihi salam) used to worship his Lord with things that the nation (Mainstream muslims) used to then oppose in order to ruin his caliphate, they used to ask Ameer al Mumineen(Ali) (alaihi salam) about things which they did not know, and if he offered his fatwa then they would oppose it with something of their own to misguide the people.

So now we need to reconcile between that allegation and their narration above which states that ‘Umar (ra) asked him and worked with his Fatwa.
