a plant which procedures its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that He [i.e., Allah] may enrage by them1 the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward . o (Quran 48:29)

...from this verse Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, established the disbelief of the Raafidhah who despise the companions of the Prophet (|). He said: "They hate them, and whoever hates a companion is a Kaafir (non-believer) as per this verse." Imam al-Qurtubi said: 'Imam Malik was right in his statement and was correct in his exegesis of this verse. Whoever ridicules or attacks the narration of a Companion will have disregarded the Shariah of Allah.' Abu Hatim said: 'Harmalah said: "I heard Imam ashShafi'ee, may Allah have mercy on him, saying: "I have not witnessed anyone more accepting of falsehood than the Raafihdah." Mu'mal b. Ahaab said: 'I heard Yazid b. Haroon saying: "Write the narrations of every man of Bid'ah who is not openly professing it or calling others to it except the Raafidhah, for they are liars."' Muhammad b. Sa'id al-Asbahani said: 'I heard Shuraik saying: "I take the knowledge from everyone that I meet except

1 - The given examples depict the Prophet (|) and his companions.

from the Raafidhah, for they fabricate narrations and see it a religious duty to do this."' Shuraik b. Abdullah was the Judge of Kufa. Mu'awiyah said: 'I heard al-A'mush saying: "I have met many people, all of whom call them liars."' He meant the companions of al-Mughirah b. Sa'eed ar-Rafidhi, who was described by Imam adh-Dhahabi as a liar. Sheik Islam b. Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 'As for the Raafidhah, the origin of their deviation stems from disbelief, infidelity, and lying. They themselves state this by saying: "Our Deen is Tuqyah" Tuqyah refers to concealing in the heart other than that which you tell people. This is lying and hypocrisy as well.' Abdullah b. Ahmed b. Hanbal said: 'I asked my father about the Raafidhah, and he said: "The ones who swear or curse at Abu Bakr and Umar? Ask Allah to have mercy on them and distance yourself from those who despise them."' Al-Khal'laal narrated that Abu Bakr al-Marwazi said: 'I asked Abu Abdullah about those who swear at Abu Bakr, R Umar and A'ishah ( ) and he said: "I don't see such a person being a Muslim."' Al-Khal'laal said: 'Harb b. Ismail al-Kirmaani informed him that Musa b. Harun b. Ziyad said I heard Al-Firyabi being asked about one who swore at Abu Bakr, and he responded that he was Kaafir, and he was asked whether or not one should perform Jinazah prayer for that individual and he answered 'no.'

When Imam Ibn Hazm, may Allah have mercy on him, was debating with the Christians and they had brought the books of the Raafidhah to refute him, he said: 'The Raafidhah are not Muslims, their statements cannot be held against the Deen. This is a sect that came about after the death of the Prophet (|) by about 25 years. It is a sect that is similar to the Jews and Christians in terms of disbelief and dishonesty.' Abu Zur'ah ar-Razi said: 'If you see a man defaming one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, know that he is a disbeliever.' The Permanent Committee in Saudi Arabia was asked a question. The questioner and a group of people were living near a group who adhered to the Ja'fari (Shi'ite) Madth'hab. Some Sunni Muslims refused to eat from their slaughtered animals and others ate from them. Is it lawful for a Sunni to eat from them, while it is known that they call upon Ali, al-Hasan and alHusain during times of ease and hardship? The Permanent Committee comprised of Sheik Abdul-Aziz b. Baz, Sheik Abdur-Razaq al-Afifi, Sheik Abdullah b. Ghudayan and Sheik Abdullah b. Qa'ood, may Allah reward them all, answered: All praise be to Allah, and may Allah praise the Prophet and render him safe from ever derogatory thing. If the issue is as is mentioned by the questioner, that there are people who adhere to the Ja'fari Madth'hab, and they call upon Ali, alHasan and al-Husain, then they are polytheists, who have apostatized from Islam. We seek refuge with Allah from that. It

is not lawful to eat of their slaughtered animals for it is considered 'Maitah' i.e. an unlawful animal. Even if the name of Allah is mentioned before it was slaughtered.' The scholar Abdullah b. Abdurrahmann b. al-Jibreen, may Allah preserve him, was asked a question in which it states: 'We have a Raafidhi who works as a butcher. Sunni Muslims bring their animals for him to slaughter. There are a few restaurants that do business with him. What is the ruling of doing business with this Raafidhi? What is the ruling of their slaughtered animals? Wa alaikum as salam wa rahmatul'laahi wa barakatoho. The animal slaughtered by the Raafidhi is not lawful for us, nor is it lawful to consume. The majority of the Raafidhah are polytheists, for they call upon Ali in times of need, even during Arafah, the Tawaf and Sa'ee. They call unto his children and their Imams, as we have heard on numerous occasions. This is a form of greater Shirk. It is also apostasy which one should be killed over. They adulate Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and attribute to him traits that belong to Allah alone, as we have heard them doing so in Arafah. With this they are apostates for they made Ali a God and a Creator, who has power over the affairs of the universe, and knows the unseen and has the power to harm and extend benefit. They also desecrate the Quran, and claim that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah distorted it and omitted from it certain things that relate to the family of the

Messenger of Allah. They do not adhere to its text nor use it as a proof. They also defame the great Companions of the Messenger of Allah, especially the three, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, and the mothers of the believers and the famous Companions the likes of Anas, Jabir and Abu Hurairah. They do not accept their hadith for they claim them to be non-Muslims. They do not adhere to the hadith mentioned in sahih Bukhari and Muslim, except for those narrations that are on the authority of Ahlul-Bait. They use falsified proofs and at times bring no evidence for what they say. They are hypocritical and say contrary to what they conceal in their hearts. They say: 'He who does not have Tuqyah has no Deen.' We do not accept their claims that they love us, or that they are our brothers, for hypocrisy is the creed they hold to.

This is the translation of the chapter of the Quran the Shi'ites claim was removed by Sunni Muslims from the Quran: O you who believe, believe in the two lights that We have sent down that recite to you My verses and warn you from the torment of a Great Day. Two lights from each other and I am the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Those who are faithful to the verses and His Messenger indeed have Gardens filled with bounty. Those who disbelieve after having believed by disregarding the covenant that was given to them by the Messenger will be tossed into Hell. They wronged themselves and disobeyed the 'Wasi' (regent, i.e. Ali) and they will be given to drink from Hameem (a river in Hell). Indeed it is Allah who has lightened the heavens and earth with what He willed and chose from the Angels and made the believers of His creation, Allah does what He wills, there is no God but Him, He is the All-Merciful, the especially Merciful. Those in the past planned evil plans for their Messengers, so Allah destroyed them on account of their planning. And I punish severely. Indeed Allah destroyed the people of Aad and Thamood on account of what they did and has made them for you a clear sign, don't you have fear? Fir'awn was punished for what he did towards Musa and his brother Haroon, I drowned

him and those who followed him, so that this would serve for you as a sign, but the majority of you are sinners. Allah will gather them on the Day of Resurrection and they will not be able to answer when they are questioned. Hell is their abode and indeed Allah is all-Knowing and all-Wise. O Messenger convey my warning to them for they will come to know. Those who went away from my signs and rule will be among the losers. Those who are sincere to the covenant will be rewarded with Gardens of Bliss. Indeed Allah is all-Forgiving and has a great reward. Indeed Ali is among the pious. We will give him his full compensation on the Day of Resurrection. We are not going to wrong him in the least. We have honored him above all of your family. Indeed he and his family are patient. Indeed his enemy is the chief of the criminals. Say to those who disbelieve after they have believed, "you have sought the beauty of this world, and rushed to attain it, and you forget Allah's covenant upon you, and you broke the firm promises and we have struck many examples for you so that you heed. O Messenger We have sent down to you many clear verses which state that those who die as believers that they will be successful. Leave the disbelievers aside, we will gather them on a Day in which nothing will benefit them nor will they be shown mercy. They will be cast into Hell. So praise the name of your Rubb and be of those who prostrate. We have sent Musa and Haroon, but they wanted Haroon. So hold patiently, and we made from among them (i.e. the Jews) monkeys and swine and we cursed them till the Day of Resurrection. Have patience and

they will come to their senses. We have through you established the system of justice, just as We did through previous Messengers. We made from them a 'Wasi' so that they would return. Whoever forsakes My command, indeed they will return to Me. Let them enjoy their disbelief for a short time, and do not ask about those who break the covenant. O Messenger We have made for you on the throats of those who believed a covenant, so take by it and be from the thankful. Indeed Ali performs prayers by the night and is fearful of the Hereafter, and he hopes for the reward of His Rubb. Say, are those who wrong themselves equal while they know of My punishment? We will put on their throats chains and they will be sorry for what they have done. We have given you the gladtidings of his good progeny. They have from Me reward. And to those who have taken the path of the righteous, will have from Me mercy and they will reside in Heaven safely, and all praise is due to Allah, the Rubb of the Worlds.

The Alleged Tablet of Fatimah

This is a Book from Allah, the all-Powerful, the All-Wise to Muhammad, His Prophet, His light, His Ambassador and His living evidence to mankind. Jibreel brought it down from the Rubb of the Worlds. O Muhammad exalt My mention and be grateful for the bounties that I have bestowed upon you. Do not be ungrateful regarding My signs. Indeed I am Allah, there is no God but I, the destroyer of the arrogant and helper of the oppressed. I am Indeed the Only God, there is no God but I. Whoever hopes for other than My reward or fears other than I, I will punish him in a way like I have punished no other. So worship Me and depend upon Me. I have not sent a Prophet except that I have assigned for him a 'Wasi' (i.e. regent). I have favored you over all the Prophets and have favored your Wasi over all other Wasi. I have honored you with al-Hasan and alHusain. I made al-Hasan the keeper of the knowledge after his father. I then blessed Husain with martyrdom. He is the best martyr who has the highest rank. I made My words complete with him. My clear evidence is with him. On account of his family I shall decide who is to be punished or rewarded. The first of them is Ali, the best of all worshippers. His son is like his grandfather. The praised Muhammad al-Baqir has My knowledge. Those who doubt Ja'far will be destroyed. Those who reject him are similar to those who reject Me. It is indeed an
