the story
of Abu Dharr. In this one Sayf has lowered Abu
Dharr, that great companion and secret-keeper
of the Prophet, to a point where he, under the
influence of an unknown Jew, namely
'Abd Allah ibn Saba', engages in riot and uprising
against Mu'awiyah and other Umayyad rulers, and
thus causes mischief in an Islamic environment.
This narration concludes that in all these riots
the Umayyads, namely 'Uthman Mu'awiyah and others
have not been guilty at all and that their son-in-law
been a perfectly virtuous man!
After a long and careful investigation about the
source of the story of Abu Dharr and 'Abd Allah
ibn Saba', we came to the conclusion that all
these fables are borrowed from Sayf ibn 'Umar
by all writers of history, and Sayf, the forger
and fabricator of events, in order to give validity
to a story and narration, invents a narrator named
Yazid al-Faq'asi, and this fictitious narrator
is artificially related to the house of al-Faq'asi
which is a branch of the Asad tribe.(123) But
in none of these narrations does Sayf mention
him, as if he considered him to be fatherless!
In fact the real father of this narrator and all
those fabricated companions and narrators who
are the heroes of Sayfs stories, and the father
of 'Abd Allah ibn Saba', the greatest hero of
his fables, is Sayf ibn 'Umar at-Tamimi himself
who is the first producer of all these lies, and
no one else has been his partner.
Unfortunately most great writers of history such
as 4-Tabarj, Ibn al-Athir, Ibn 'Asakir, Ibn Khaldun
Ibn 'Abd al-Barr, Ibn Hajar and many others have
filled their books with the fabrications of that
great liar and atheistic forger named Sayf ibn
'Umar. Consequently the views of most Muslims
bout he friends of the Prophet are based to day
on those fables, and they tend to know Islam through
them.
Will they allow us after twelve centuries to pull
these fables out .of the traditions and history
of Islam and throw them away in order to open
the way for a true understanding of Islam for
all people?
