The Creed of the Rāfiḍah: Exposing the Lies Against Abū Bakr al-Siddīq(R.A)
Shaykh ʿAlī al-Haddādī
A defense for one of the first people to believe in the Prophet (ﷺ), Abū Bakr al-Siddīq. Despite being praised by the Companions, the Rāfiḍah falsely accuse of him of shirk and apostasy.
That is just a morsel of the creed of the Rāfiḍah regarding the companions in general except for those whom they have excluded. Now we will see some of their speech regarding Abū Bakr al-Siddīq, may Allāh be pleased with him. I do not have to remind you, my noble brother reader, that Abū Bakr is Abū Bakr, and this is sufficient.1
Abū Bakr As-Siddīq was the first of the people to believe in the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was his companion in the cave. He was his successor in (leading) the prayer on the day when he was extremely sick and the most beloved of the men to him. He was the one who, if he were to take a Khalīl (intimate companion) from the creation then he would have taken him as a Khalīl. He spent his wealth in the cause of Allāh. The companions pledged their allegiance to him unanimously acknowledging his virtue and affirming his eminence; the just Imām who walked amongst the people upon the path of justice, humility, kindness, and mercy whilst having resoluteness and determination. So may Allāh be pleased with him and may He cause him to be pleased. In spite of that there has come to Abū Bakr, from the Rāfiḍah, numerous and unspeakable insults, oppression, lies, and slander. They accuse him in his religion and in his Īmān. So what do you think (they say) about (him in) that which is less than the religion?
