Everything that goes against your mind set and planned ideology is weak, false etc. You decide if it is weak and your criteria for weakness and or falsehood??? Well you don't have one. You need to protect Sakeefa, justify Khilafath through what ever and which ever means necessary and certain companions just didn't get anything wrong, even when they were companions and especially when they became Khalifs. But certain companions and members of the Ahlul Baith did get it wrong. Well this just sums you exactly up!
While your mud slinging is far more representative of you, in Ahl as-Sunnah we don't accept narrations based on our ideology; heck our scholars narrated ahadeeth from all kinds of sects, including believe it or not, Shia. We base our authentication on five condition, بارك الله فيك:
1) A connection chain of narrators.
2) Everyone in the chain is upright (whether they are from a sect or not).
3) Everyone in the chain is considered strong in their memory and relaying of the text. If they are the hadeeth is considered Saheeh, if they are considered a lower level the scholars would lessed the hadeeth to the status of hassan.
4) It is not Shaath, or an outlier report. Meaning, we might get 5 reports all saying the same thing and one report saying something different. Even if that report has an authentic chain, it would be weakened because of this contradiction.
5) That there are not other irregularities that would cause a report to be inauthentic.
Now I ask you brother Ameen, how do your scholars authenticate reports?
I don't mud sling. Who mud slings is clearly seen on this site. So this is how you authenticate hadiths, narrations and reports. So tell me how do you authenticate Ali's daughters marriage to Umar??? Or would you like me to start a separate thread and ask you there???
Umar asked for Ali's daughter in marriage, now this is what brother Hani mentioned;
Ali sent his daughter with Hassan and Hussain to Umar, he teased her playfully and liked her then the marriage took place.
Now tell me how sickening and ridiculous this sounds. Who were more shameful and pardedar, full of hijab o niqab than Ali and his family. What kind of a father would send his daughter for someone to take a good look at her, tease her playfully and then show his likenes???
I ask everyone on this site who have daughters of marriageable age or when they reach that age and those who don't have daughters but have sisters of marriageable age that, would you marry your daughter/sister in such a baghairath and beh'haya way??? Such a shameless way???
Was this a horse, camel or cow that was sent to Umar for him to take a good look at and play with and tease before acceptance??? To try out??? Was Umar a dirty old flirt that this is how he proceeded when he showed interest in marriage???
This narration about how this marriage was conducted is not just an absolute insult to Ali's ghairath but also an absolute insult and stain to Umar's character and personality. I agree with the Ahle Sunnah that I have approached that this narration is ridiculous.
Gentlemen God has given you Aqal for you to use. Use it and use it well.
