The abuse and oppression of a pregnant Lady Fatima at the hands of Umar, as confessed by Ibn Abi
Darim
Argument:
In the book Mizan al-Itidal, Allama Sham sul-Deen Dhahabi brands Ibn Abi Darim as a Rafidhi. Dhahabi
claims that despite the staunch convictions of Darim, he nonetheless slandered the Shaikhin(Abu Bakr
and Umar) during the latter stages of his life, hence dismissing him as a valid narrator.

Analysis
The original narration:
Alama Sham sul-Deen Dhahabi in Siyar a`lam al-nubala' and Mizan al-'Itidal and Ibn Hajar Asqalani in
Lisan al-Mizan narrated from Ibn Abi Darim:
.

Umar kicked Hazhrat Fatima, causing the miscarriage of her unborn baby, Muhsin.

However, as already mentioned, Dhahabi and Ibn Hajjar have rejected this notion on grounds of its
source, Ibn Abi Darim.
...

.
During the end of his life, Darim made an effort to shed light on the numerous flaws and misgivings of
the Shaikhin. I was in his presence during which I witnessed a man telling him, Umar kicked Lady
Fatima, causing the miscarriage of Muhsin.

By analyzing the scholarly reputation and character of Ibn Abi Darim, one will come to understand that
the only reason for his rejection by the Ahl Sunna is in regards to this hadith. As a matter of fact, prior
to this hadith, he was considered as one of the most knowledgeable ulama of the Ahl Sunna. Dhahabi
described him as a leader(Imam), memorizer(Hafiz), and an erudite(Fadhil).

.
....
Ibn Abi Daarim. The virtuous memorizer imam, Abu Bakr Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Sirriy Bin Yahyaa Bin
Al Sirriy Bin Abi Daarim
He continues as:
.
His knowledge and character were exceptional, but he was attached to Shiaism.
And he also says:
.
Muhammad bin Hammaad Al Haafith said: In his lifetime he was firm in his beliefs.

In a hadith linked to Ibn Abi Darim, the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) says:
.
.
The border between Halal and Haram is clear, but between them, people face many doubts and
unknowns. Whoever forsakes these doubts has saved his religion and beliefs, and whoever embraces
them has committed sin, similar to an individual in the company of an ill person.

Dhahabi, after narrating this Hadith, says:


. .
This Hadith is reliable and agreed upon.

Having said this, interestingly, then Dhahabi makes the following disparaging remarks about Darim:
.
A misguided old man!
Hence, is it possible for someone labeled as Leader, memorizer, and scholar, who has maintained a
firm belief during his entire life, to be also classified as misguided and evil?
How can such contrasting words be applied to the same person?
Yes, exaggeration of the merits of the Khalifahs will cause a prominent figure of Ahl Sunnah, such as
Dhahabi, to contradict himself.
Therefore, we should ask:
Is it valid to reject the narrations of an individual because he is a Rafidhi?
What type of logic gives us the permission to reject someone simply because of his inclination to
Shiaism? If such is the standard, then Ahl Sunna need to dismiss many hadiths in Siha Sitta (the six
hadith books) as they contain numerous hadiths from Rafidhis. InshaAllah, we will mention a few
examples:
1. AbiduAllah bin Musa:
Dhahabi says about him:

.
Ibn Manda said: Ahmad bin Hanbal would welcome people to his premises, as he was a well-known
Rafidhi, but he did not allow anyone by the name of Muawia to enter his residence.

Is it acceptable to reject a narrator due to his reliance to Shiaism?
Ahl Sunna scholars may claim that simply being Shia is not a valid reason for the dismissal of a narrator,
rather the excessive need to refer to Shiaism is grounds for dismissal. For example, the elevation of
Imam Alis status above that of Abu Bakr and Umar is an example of this.
This is how Ibn Hajar explains this in Fathul Bari:


.
To be a Shia, means to love Ali and to place him on a pedestal above all other companions; hence if
anyone considers Ali higher in status than Abu Bakr and Umar, this Rafidhi will be labeled as unreliable
due to his exaggeration; however if he one only loves Ali, they are Shia. If besides loving Ali, one insults
the companions and has animosity towards them, he is an exaggerating Shia; if one also believes in
Rijat, that person is extreme in his exaggeration.

If exaggeration in Shiaism is reason for rejection, then why have the great men of Ahl Sunna referenced
them in their most authentic books?
Can insulting the Khalifs be a reason to reject a narrator?

We mentioned previously that because ibn Abi Darim spoke ill of Shaikhin (Abu Bakr and Umar) his
narrations were dismissed. However, in Sihha Sitta of Ahl Sunna, there are many narrators considered
as authentic despite their degrading views in regards to the Shaikhin.

1. Talid bin sulaiman alMahrabi, Abu Sulaiman


As a narrator of Sunna Trimidhi he openly criticized Abu Bakr and Umar. Mezi says about him:
. :
Abu Dawood said of him, He is a filthy Rafidhi and a misguided man. He would curse Abu Bakr and
Umar.
He also says:

his narrations. Ibn Hajar narrates from Marwazi:

has also said that I have recorded many of his narrations which were narrated from Abu al-Jihaf.

Of course, whatever is beneficial to the Ahl Sunna will be considered as Hasan, and whatever
contradicts their beliefs and those of Shaikhin will be classified as weak, hence branding Sulaiman a
Rafidhi.

Classifying Nasibis as reliable


Having said all this, the Scholars of Ahl Sunna have classified some people as reliable who would curse
Amirul Mumenin, Imam Ali (as). Our question is, if cursing the companions makes a narrator weak, then
why have you classified the Nasibis as reliable?

Hence, if someone curses Abu Bakr and Umar, he is to be considered as weak, but those who curse
Imam Ali (as) are reliable? How can these double standards be justified?
InshaAllah we will now mention a few Nasibis who have been classified as reliable by the scholars of Ahl
Sunna.
1. Hariz bin Uthman AlHamasi:
This man would curse Amirul Mumenin Imam Ali (as), seventy times in the morning and in the
afternoon. Mezi, Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar in their books have written:
: :
.
Ahmad bin Sulaiman Marwazi narrated from Ismaill bin Iash who said:
I accompanied Hariz bin Uthman from Egypt to Mecca, during this period, he would insult Ali and curse
him.

What is interesting is the approval of his authenticity by a plethora of Sunni scholars. Mezi and Ibn Hajar
write about him:

: ...
: :
. : :
Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about him, and he stated twice, Reliable. He also said, In Shaam, there
was no one more reliable than Hariz in narrating hadiths.
Maaz bin Maaz recalls, When in the company of Ahmad bin Hanbal, the names of Hariz, Abu Bakr bin
Maryam, and Safawan were mentioned, and I heard him say, There is no one among them more
trustworthy than Hariz. Again, I heard Ahmad who said, Hariz is reliable, he is reliable.

Ibn Hajar says about him:
.[ ]
He is amongst the narrators of Bukhari and four other books (except Muslim).
Badrul Deen Ainy writes:

Al Jamaaa (Sunnis) except for Muslim narrated from him, so did Abu jaafar Al Tahaawi. And in the book
Al Tahtheeb, Bukhari narrated two hadiths from him.

If cursing the Khalifahs invalidates a narrator, then why has Bukhari referenced him, and why does
Ahmad bin Hanbal praise him in such manner?
2. Umar bin Sad bin Abi Waqas, the killer of Imam Hussain (as)
Mezi and Ibn Hajjar have written about Umar bin sad bin Abi Waqas, the commander of the army of
Yazid in Karbala:
. :
.
Ajali said: Umar bin Sad and others have narrated hadiths from his father. He is amongst the Tabieen
and hence, reliable. He is the one who killed Hussain (as).

How can someone who killed the son of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) in such a brutal manner way and then
captured the daughters of Allahs Messenger as prisoners be deemed trustworthy? On the other hand, if
someone loves Amirul Mumenin, considers him higher than the other 3 Khalifs, or if anyone insults the
Khalifahs, he is considered weak and hence rejected?
Conclusion:
There is nothing wrong with aforementioned narrations of Ibn Abi Darim. Regardless of the baseless
accusations levied against him, his perspective in relation to the Sahabas is no different than those of
the Ahl Sunna in regards to Imam Ali and Imam Hussein.
