Chapter Seven: Conclusion

Ansar.org states

Question
Who are Nawasib? What they did toward Ahl al-Bait and the Imam of Shi’a? Please give me a brief history of this group of people.

Answer

Al salam alaykum,

Al-Nasebah are the ones who hate the household of the Prophet peace be upon him.

Al-Nasb was known to some of the household of the Ummayads who slandered and libeled Ali bin Abi Talib, like Al-Marwan bin Al-Hakam and his sons. Al-Nasb was present within the people of Al-Sham for some time until it got extinct over there.

Ahl Al-Sunnah had taken a clear way to disavow themselves from the Shia and the Nasebah.

Ansar.Org have as is their habit yet again lied. To disavow, means to distance yourself from such people, did Ahle Sunnah really adopt this ‘clear way’? The Sunni Hadeeth collators turning to Nawasib to access Hadeeth from them, and the endorsement and praise of such people by the Sunni rijal scholars does not in any suggest the Ahle Sunnah kept aloof from such people. On the contrary in the realms of religion you cannot get closer that turning to someone to acquire religious knowledge which was done by the Ahle Sunnah scholars and endorsed by the grand Ulema that followed them. Interestingly they admit that Marwan was a Nasibi, how can you claim that Ahl Sunnah have disavowed themselves of Nasibis, when they have taken Hadeeth from Marwan, and graded him a Faqih of Madina? The ‘clear way’ that the Ahle Sunnah was to associate with Nawasib and benefit from their religious knowledge.

Let us conclude this issue by citing these words from Surah al Fateha:

Ahdinā Aş-Şirāţa Al-Mustaqīma
(Show us the straight way)
Şirāţa Al-Ladhīna ‘An`amta `Alayhim Ghayri Al-Maghđūbi `Alayhim Wa Lā Ađ-Đāllīna
(The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray)

Every believer who prays five times a day makes this supplication at least 17 times that we steer clear of those that have incurred the wrath of Allah (swt) and gone astray. Verily Nasibis have incurred the wrath of Allah (swt) on account of their hatred of ‘Ali (as) since such hatred is on par with hatred of Allah (swt) and his Prophet (s). Clearly this would mean that we should steer clearly of the cursed Nawasib, but rather than take these words of Allah (swt) to their hearts, we see that the grand Sunni Hadeeth scholars, not only maintained cordial links with Nasibis, they accepted them as a source of religious knowledge by taking Hadeeth from them! The Sunni scholars of Rijjal that followed them rubber stamped the correctness of their stance, by recognising their being Nawasib, Khawarij and affirming their truthfulness and esteemed characters. Is this how the Ahle Sunnah Ulema interpreted these words of Surah Fateha? Rather than keep aloof from the path of those that have incurred the wrath of Allah (swt) they turned to them for guidance, and actually showered praise on such deviants!

One can now easily decipher the true followers and lovers of Ahllybayt [as] from those whose ‘claim’ has no basis when one identifies the fact that their roots lie with their opponents and enemies of the Ahllubayt [as]. For all those stubborn people who still claim that they are the true followers of Ahlulbayt [as] while respecting their [as] enemies as well, let us cite a verse and a rhetoric commentary put forward by none other than Ali bin Abi Talib [as] himself. We read in Quran:

[Shakir 33:4] Allah has not made for any man two hearts within him;

Ali ibn Abi Talib(a.s) said about the above cited verse:

“The love of the Ahl ul Bayt can never coexist with allegiance to their enemies, because there are not two hearts in one breast. He who is a friend of our enemies is not our friend, even if he claims to be attached with us, nor do we accept him as our ally and follower.”
Tafseer al-Qummi, Volume 2, pages 171-172

The article has also abolished the accusation those lunatics around the world that claim that the Shia madhab was the brainchild of a Jew namely Abdullah Ibn Saba. A person with the slightest intelligence would know that the text of one’s school is highly influenced by the founder (s) of that school and the plethora of text is can be sourced back founder (s) via the pioneer scholars. For example the principle books of Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi and Maliki madhabs contain praise, statements and arguments put forward by their respective founders/Imams. But we challenge the Nasibi to produce a SINGLE text from Shia sources that contains any sort of praise, statement or argument advanced by Abdullah Ibn Saba. Compare our challenge to the principle books of Ahle Sunnah that are replete with major Nasibi and Khariji narrators, not only that but the Imams of Ahle Sunnah praised such filthy and blasphemous individuals and had no shame or hesitation in grading such individuals as ‘authentic’ sources for deriving their religious teachings from. What conclusion should one draw from comparing these two positions? So at last, it has been proven as to who is the follower of who!

The detailed discussion has highlighted the main purpose behind the project, to identify the mechanisms for unity. Whenever Shi’a advance the notion of Shia-Sunni unity for the sake of Islam as a whole, a few Nasibi elements amongst the Sunnies appear at such a crucial juncture to remind them about the Shia stance towards some of their beloved companions like the first three caliphs and a few famous female personnel. Relevant to the topic are the words of the founding leader of Sipah-e-Sahabah the filthy Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi which are frequently cited by the Nawasib of Sipah-e-Sahabah (Kr-Hcy.com). He made use of his filthy tongue during one of his speaches in the city of Peshawar (Pakistan):

Haq Nawaz Jhangvi stated:

“The slogan of unity amongst Muslims is raised too frequently and it is said that both Shia and Sunni are Muslims hence unity should be done, I want to say while making a challenge to the whole Shia world that ‘can you prove from all of your religious literature that in your madhab Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman, Muawiyah, Ayesha, Hafsa were Mumins? We will only talk amongst Muslims if your madhab has accepted them as Mumin. If you do not accept the companions and wives of the Holy Prophet [s] as Mumin then on what basis have you offered us Muslim unity by deeming us Mumin and Muslims?’ And those Molvies who ponder unity with them, if they haven’t studied then they should study Shiasm, we will show softness, but if they are teaching unity even after studying, then they are not Sunnies rather they are Shia and are pretending to be Sunnies”

The enemies of Ahllybayt (as) are regarded clear-cut Kaafir according to both Shia and Sunni beliefs. We the Shia of Ahlulbayt (as) deem them (as) the only source of guidance in Islam as instructed by Allah [swt] and our Holy Prophet Muhammad (as) hence we regard them more precious than our lives. With this in mind, have the extremist Nasibi elements amongst Ahle Sunnah bothered to think about how we feel when we see the exalted and authoritative status granted to the all time enemies of Ahlulbayt (as) by them and their scholars? Do you think we find it easy to digest the extreme praise and accolades showered on the enemies of those whom we hold dearer than our own selves? How can Jhangvi and his present day ilk object our stance about the ‘companions’ like Muawiyah and Mughira bin Shu’ba who openly cursed our Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (as)?

If we are prepared to remain steadfast, calm at such Sunni beliefs, even though it is extremely difficult, but do so for the sake of unity in Islam and for poor Muslims around the world falling prey to the evil of Zionism and other anti-Islamic movements, then how on earth can these Nawasib object and yet claim to be more greater lovers of Ahlulbayt (as) than us!
