Was Abu Bakr(R.a) Related To Jafar Bin Sadiq(R.a)?

[saberrider 56]

I read this somewhere. If so, how ?

[Wisdom Lion 327]

No he wasn't

[Sumerian 6,338]

Yes he was. Abu Bakr was related to Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (a.s) because his mother was the daughter of Mohammaed ibn Abu Bakr (r.a).

[The Green Knight 8,417]

It doesn't matter especially because the holy Prophet (pbuh) was more closely related to Abu Lahab (l.a.). Kinship without right actions means nothing in Islam.

And if it does mean anything then Bakris, of all people, should hold Imam Ja'far (as) in higher position than some Iraqi scholar of fiqh, since he is related to Abu Bakr? :)

Nice. Thanks for using that term here.

Dear friend,

The mother of Imam Sadeq (A.S) was the daughter of Qasim the son of Muhammad the son of Abubakr (Qasem ibn Muhammad ibn Abubakr), also one grandmother of Imam Sadeq (A.S) was the progeny of Abubakr.

Yes, Abu Bakr was Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (as)'s great great grandfather on his mother's side, his mother was Al-Sayyida Fatima Umm Farwa bint Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr. A note though, Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr was a Shi'a and a Thiqat Sahaba of Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain Al-Zayn Al-Abidin, a Hadith is said for him in Kitab Al-Kafi:

 

محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن عبد الله بن أحمد، عن إبراهيم بن الحسن قال: حدثني وهب بن حفص، عن إسحاق بن جرير قال: أبو عبد الله عليه السلام كان سعيد ابن المسيب والقاسم بن محمد بن أبي بكر وأبو خالد الكابلي من ثقات علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام

 

.....Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib, and Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, and Abu Khalid Al-Kabuli, were from the thiqaat (plural of thiqah, i.e., trustworthy) of Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as)

 

 

Al-Kafi volume 1 page 476

 

And I can discuss Al-Qasim's father, Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr (ra), tashayyu but the discussion itself would get too lengthy, so I will quote a narration showing his tashayyu:

 

الإحتجاج: بالإسناد إلى أبي محمد العسكري (عليه السلام) قال: قدم جماعة فاستأذنوا على الرضا (عليه السلام) وقالوا: نحن من شيعة علي. فمنعهم أياما، ثم لما دخلوا قال لهم:

إنما شيعة أمير المؤمنين الحسن والحسين وسلمان وأبو ذر والمقداد وعمار ومحمد ابن أبي بكر الذين لم يخالفوا شيئا من أوامره

 

Al-Ihtijaj by the chain until Abi Muhammad Al-Askari (as).....Verily from the Shi'a of Ameer Al-Mu'minin [were] Al-Hasan, and Al-Hussain, and Salman, and Abu Dharr, and Al-Miqdad, and Ammar, and Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr....

 

Mustadrak Safeenat Al-Bihar volume 3 page 438

 

And a narration from Tahdhib showing he's under the tarahhum (prayer for mercy from Allah) of the Imams:

 

 النوفلي عن السكوني عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام ان محمد ابن أبي بكر رحمه الله كتب إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام يسأله عن رجل مجنون قتل رجلا عمدا فجعل الدية على قومه وجعل عمده وخطأه سواء.

 

Al-Nawfali from Al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah (as) that Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr May Allah Have Mercy On Him wrote to Ameer Al-Mu'mineen (as) and asking him about a crazy man....

 

Tahdhib Al-Ahkam volume 10 page 232

 

He disassociated from Abu Bakr and was in the Wilayah of Imam Ali (as), he fought for him in Jamal, he was appointed his governor in Egypt and was killed by Mu'awiya before he reached, and he was mourned for by Imam Ali (as).

 

I don't need to quote the narrations on what Imam Al-Sadiq (as) used to do in regards to his great great grandfather Abu Bakr (though if one is curious they can go to my post history as I posted them a few months back). Neither Imam Al-Sadiq nor his mother or his grandfather or his great grandfather were lovers of Abu Bakr and were on the path of the Wilayah of Ahl Al-Bayt (as).

I don't consider it a derogatory term and its not necessarily one either because those who consider Abu Bakr as a viceregent of the holy Prophet can be safely called that I think.

 

But sorry if someone is offended by the word. And my previous proposition still stands any way.

By the way, i found this on his wikipedia page -

 

After Hussein ibn Ali was betrayed, the people of Kufa called Zayd ibn Ali the grandson of Husayns over to Kufa. Zaydis believe that on the last hour of Zayd ibn Ali, Zayd ibn Ali was also betrayed by the people in Kufa who said to him: "May God have mercy on you! What do you have to say on the matter of Abu Bakr and Umar ibn al-Khattab?" Zayd ibn Ali said, "I have not heard anyone in my family renouncing them both nor saying anything but good about them...when they were entrusted with government they behaved justly with the people and acted according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah"

 

Any comments ? I mean, I know where Shia stand on the first 3 Caliphs, but has this been mentioned in any of their books ?

[Ibn Al-Ja'abi 1,551]

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakri - yes, it IS used as a derogatory term by Shias for Sunnis.

Ibn Al-Ja'abi, thank you for your answer. I just wished the Arabic was in English. I will find a translator online. JazakAllah

Salamun alaykum. This the Arabic text:

و عن زيد بن على أخو الباقر و عم الصادق " ان ناساً من رؤساء الكوفة و أشرافهم الذين بايعوا زيداً حضروا يوماً عنده ، و قالوا له : رحمك الله ، ماذا تقول فى حق أبى بكر و عمر ؟ قال : ما أقول فيهما إلا خيراً كما أسمع فيهما من أهل بيتي إلا خيرا ، ما ظلمانا و لا أحد غيرنا ، و عملا بكتاب الله و سنة رسوله "

Now 3 points regarding this narration:

1. You can not find it in any Shi'i reliable book of history, hadith, exegesis etc. The only source which has referred to this narration is Nasikh al-Tawarikh which is not a reliable source.

2. It is in explicit contradiction to a narration in Rijal by Kashshi:

عن سدير ، قال : دخلت على أبي جعفر عليه السلام ومعي سلمة بن كهيل و... وعند أبي جعفر عليه السلام أخوه زيد بن علي عليهم السلام فقالوا لأبي جعفر عليه السلام نتولى عليا وحسنا وحسينا ونتبرأ من أعداهم ! قال : نعم . قالوا : نتولى أبا بكر وعمر ونتبرأ من أعدائهم ! قال : فالتفت إليهم زيد بن علي قال لهم أتتبرؤن من فاطمة ؟ بترتم أمرنا بتركم الله ، فيومئذ سموا البترية .

"Sudayr says: I, together with Salama ibn Kuhayl ... went to the presence of Abu Ja'far (Imam Baqir) while Imam's brother, Zaid ibn Ali, was with him. Those who were with me told Imam that we love Ali, Hasan, Husain and hate their enemies. Imam replied: true. They continued: We love Abubakr and Umar and hate their enemies. Hearing this, Zaid told them: Do you hate Fatima? You cut off (batartum: بترتم) our affair. May Allah cut you off. Since then they were called Butriyyah (Rijal by Kashshi, p. 236; Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 37, p. 31).

3. According to some, Zaid may have uttered that sentence due to political expediencies because he intended to recruit more troops from various tribes most of whom were Sunnis.

Is that a Shia book and what does it mean that it isn't a reliable source? Is the author unknown or there are weaknesses in the chain of the books etc?

You don't have to call him names, he is a Sunni and it is not really expected they use 'alayhis salaam' after the Imams. He used 'radhiallahu anhu' which is better than most Sunnis not using anything at all. Also, if you were to go on a Sunni forum, would you ever use RA after the Sunni caliphs?

I am a Zaydi Shia and yes it is in our books. That is why , although we know that Abu Bakr  & Umar took the caliphate when they shouldn't have, we avoid denouncing them doing takfir etc. The people of Kufa , after hearing the speech by Imam Zayd (as) quoted above, turned on him and refused to join his revolution. He proceeded with it and was martyred. 12ers do not accept Zayd (as) as an Imam and this is the root of our differences more or less.......

Wow :angel: . I had written that as a sign of respect, if you know what that means. Yes, he is considered an infallible 6th Imam by Shias and I am a Sunni, but that does not mean i disrespect him or something. He was still an Imam of Islam. We only use  عليه السلام‎, or ʿalayhi as-salām for Prophets before Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) 

 

It means - "May God Be Pleased With Him." Here you go, just in case -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radhiallahu_'anhu

Why is some Pakistani teaching me arabic like im some kind of illiterate. Since we have the rule of not sending la3na on the caliphs, then there should also be the rule that (as) should be put after the 14 infallibles.

I'm not really one to be rude to a Sunni and curse the Sahaba to his face, but there is really no such thing as religious harmony until Shi'as can feel safe living as Shi'as, if anything it's just a fairy tale that people think will happen if we stop saying Bakri and cursing the Shaykhayn - it's not going to, but then again when you have traditional idiots like those found on HCY (who all day translate arguments against Shi'as from Arabic forums, formulate cliched straw man arguments, and mock Shi'as for the most arbitrary reasons (along side most anti-shia sunnis) - and be racist to Iranis as well), unity is just a happy fantasy. Just my two cents, and my apologies for going off topic.
