QUESTION:
Can you provide references to the sources that show Abu Bakr (may Allah curse him) making offensive remarks while replying to our Lady Al Zahra (peace be upon him)?
ANSWER:
In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful.
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Family and damn their enemies.
Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed narrated Abu Bakir’s (May the wrath of Allah be upon him) reply, found in p.102, Saqeefa and Fadak, by Abu Bakir Ahmed bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Jawhari.
Al-Jawhari is a ‘Sunni’ scholar and narrator. Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed stated that he was a pious and praise-worthy scholar. He also described him as trustworthy.
Al-Tabari Al-Imami also documented the sermon in Dalail Al-Imama, p. 123. Al-Majlisi stated the sermon in Bihar Al-Anwar, vol. 29, p. 326. Sheikh Abbas Al-Qumi also documented it in Bayetu Al-Ahzan, p. 152.
