baraka Allah fikum,

Brother classical sunni texts from hijri one till today are many regarding Ahlul bayth and Imam R.A....the sah sittah r overloaded with hadeeses either regarding Ahlul Bayth R.A or from AhlulBayth r.a AlhamduLillah

above are the few books both in urdu and in arabic which shed some light on the lifes of Ahlul Bayth and Imams R.A in the light of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah. No doubt from these personalites we all can learn a lot how determine they were in fulfilling their religious duties and loving, caring and giving towards muslim ummah through out their lifes under toughest situation.

I often come across lot of people and they have few doubts regarding Ahlul bayth alAthar, the Ahlulbayth al-athar r.a were the most loving, respecting and caring towards Sahaba r.a more than anyone. Sahaba iqraam were lovers of RasoolAllah sawawaws and of his entirely family...


~Love Ahl ul Bayth AlAthar R.A as they were dearest to Holy Prophet sawawaws more than anything in this world~ May Allah swt give us tawfeeq to follow on this sunnah of Holy Prophet sawawaws as well. Ameen

Mir `Ali Hamadani was a rafdhi shi'ite.The rawafidh acknowledge this in some of their works and in others try to paint him as a "Shafi'i Faqeeh". A farsi article on Rawafidh in India "Shia der Hind" (http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:www.balagh.org/LIB/farsi/20_goonagoon/shia%2520dar%2520hend/10.htm+%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B1+%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A+%D9%8 7%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A&hl=en&lr=&strip=1) {if you find it interesting, save it because the original has been removed from the balagh server} notes that Hamadani wrote:


كتاب (اربعين في فضايل اميرالمؤمنين) مير سيد على، كه به زبان عربي است، مجموعه اي از احاديث، در مورد برتري على(ع) بر اصحاب پيامبر(ص) است.

"The book "40 sayings in the Superiority of the Prince of Believers" by Mir Sayyid `Ali in arabic, a collection of sayings proving the superiority of `Ali (A) {Radhi Allaahu `anhu} over the companions of Rasoolullah (S) {sallallaahu `alyhi wa sallam} "

Such a person cannot be a Sunni at all no matter what he pretends to be, he was either a rafdhi or atleast tafdheeli shi'a. Historians say that he was the one who brought rafdh to kashmir. Similarly Sulayman Balkhi the author of Yanabi ul Muwaddah is also probably a hidden rafdhi. The rawafidh are compelled by their religion to try to pull off stunts like these.

Brother Muawiya thanx for the info...i will try to look into it...but there were lot of Sahabas who beleived Imam Ali K.A to be most superior, same goes with Ameer Umar R.A and Ameer Uthmaan R.A....don't we disagree with rafidhis when they say that Hazrath AbuBakr r.a wasn't the rightful Khalifa and including Hazrath Umar r.a and Hazrath Uthmaan R.A?

i am told that hundreds of prominent Sahaba r.a hold different views but they all accepted and gave their alligience to Hazrath AbuBakr r.a including Imam Ali K.W.

salaam

never saw a sunni call hazrat ali r a to be imam ali . *snipped*

Please do not attack other members with labels of being a "rafidhi" and so forth. Nor does saying "Imam" before the name of Sayyidina Ali a sign of "Rafd"

Shaikh Faraz referring to Sayyidina Ali as "Imam"
