Reason for the Revelation of Wilayah Verse in Abu Dhar`s View

Question: What is the cause of the revelation of Wilayah verse according to Abu Dhar Ghaffari?
Answer: It has been quoted from Abu Dhar Ghaffari that he said: “O people! One day, I was saying my prayer with the Prophet (S.A.W) in mosque, a beggar entered the mosque and asked people for help, but no one gave him anything, he raised his hands to the sky and said: “O Allah! You be witness that I asked for help in our prophet’s mosque, but no one gave me anything, at that time Imam Ali (A.S) who was in the bowing position pointed with his finger to the person who took his ring and left. The Prophet (S.A.W) who was saying his prayer saw this event. When he finished his prayer, he raised his head toward the heavens and said: “O Allah, my brother Musa said to You: expand my breast, make easy my tasks and make my tongue eloquent so that people can understand my words. And make my brother Aeron my successor and vizier and strengthen me by him and involve him in my partnership. O Allah! I am Muhammad, Your prophet and chosen, (h) spread my soul, make works easy for me, and (jaye ina balaeeha ro Prophet, make Ali my successor from my household so that he will be my powerful supporter”. Abu Dhar says that: “the Prophet’s (S.A.W) prayer had not been finished yet when Jibra’il came to the earth and said to the Prophet (S.A.W) that: “read!” The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “what should I read?” he said: “read

Yaum-o-Dar Tradition Weakened by Ebne Kathir

Question: What is the objection made by Ebne Kathir on Yaum-o-Dar tradition? Is his objection acceptable?
Answer: After narration of Yaum-o-Dar tradition, Ebne Kathir has tried to weaken it as narrated by Ebne Ishaq, because Abou Maryam Abdolghaffar Ebne Qassem is mentioned in his chain of transmission is a liar Shia. Ali Ebne Madini has accused him to the fabrication of traditions, and the others too have lowered him.[1]
We shall reply him:
Accusation of the tradition narrators narrating the merits of Prophet’s Household (a.s.), especially those indicating caliphate of Imam Ali (a.s.) is common among some individuals, especially those like Ebne Kathir. This practice has been common among their sect, and when a narrator is not in agreement with their belief and ideology, they lower him. The evidence is that Ebne Kathir has acknowledged trustworthiness of Abou Maryam somewhere else in his book.[2]
Shabeh is another one who has affirmed trustworthiness of Abou Maryam.[3]
Ebne Oqdeh too is one of those who testified his trustworthiness. He has been one of the great trustworthy narrators. Ebne Odai narrates, "I heard from Ebne Oqdeh lauding Abou Maryam and admiring him exaggeratedly, … .[4, 5]

Yaum-o-Dar Tradition Questioned by Ebne Timyeh for Its Successive Transmission (Tavator)

Question: What does Ebne Timyeh argue about successive transmission of Yaum-o-Dar tradition?
Answer: Ebne Timyeh says, "Imamite Shia does not argue tradition for Imamate unless it is a successively transmitted one, because they believe Imamate as one of the Fundamentals of Religion, while this tradition has never been a successively transmitted one.
We reply:
Firstly, we argue this tradition according to the Sunnite, because they reason any tradition (either isolated or unanimous tradition) for proving Imamate. So, we can argue this tradition for them.
Secondly, Imamite Shia argues this tradition for Imamate of Amiralmomenin because according to our narrative sources, it is a unanimous and certain tradition.
Thirdly,Shiite does not argue just this tradition for proving Imamate of Amiralmomenin (A.S). Rather, there are many other narrations proving certainly and inevitably Walayat of Amiralmomenin Ali (A.S) [1]

The Word of Ibn Taymiyah about the Tradition of Yaum-o-Dar

Question: Is the idea of Ibn Taimiyah about the tradition of "Yawm al-Dar" correct?
Answer: He says about the tradition of "Yawm al-Dar that "This tradition is not available in any books of Muslim including: Sihah, Masanid, Sunan, Maghazi and Tafsir."(1) But according to the quotations of narrators from the companions of the holy Prophet (S.A.W) and from the great Sunnite historians and based on the acceptance of the correctness of the document of this event by scholars it will be clear that his claim is nothing but a lie.(2)
