Imam Mahdi’s (a.s.) treatment of Abu Bakr and Umar

In the Name of Allah the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful

These are days of great sorrow for Imam Mahdi (a.s.) and his shias. It was during these days that a burning door was fell on his grandmother Janabe Zahra (s.a.) by the enemies of Islam — Abu Bakr and Umar, which resulted in her martyrdom and that of her unborn son Janabe Mohsin (a.s.). But Allah being Just, and the Best One to take revenge from his enemies, severe chastisement awaits Abu Bakr and Umar when Imam Mahdi (a.s.).

We bring you a small excerpt of what is in store for these two power hungry devils.

In Haqq-ul-Yaqeen, Allama Baqir Majlisi writes on the authority of an Imam(as) :-

“After Makkah, Imam Mahdi (atfs) will proceed to Madinah, the city of our grandfather, Rasulullah (s.a.w.a.s.). At Madinah, he (Imam Mahdi (atfs)) will demonstrate an astonishing act which will be a cause of great happiness for the Mu’mineen and a cause of disgrace for the kuffar and munafiqeen … When Imam Mahdi (atfs) will reach the grave of Rasulullah (s.a.w.a.s.), he will ask the people: “O people! Is this the grave of our grandfather, Rasulullah (s.a.w.a.s.)?” The people will say – “Yes, this is his grave.” Imam Mehdi(atfs) will then ask:

“Who are these persons who have been buried alongside our grandfather!”

The people will say: “They are Abu Bakr and Umar, the closest companions of Rasulullah I.”

Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) (in spite of knowing everything) will say:

“Who was Abu Bakr? And, who was Umar? What was their excellence which necessitated their burial alongside our grandfather?”…

“After three days, Sahibul Amr (atfs) will order the walls to be broken and their bodies exhumed.  After the exhumation of their bodies, he will order their kafan to be removed and their bodies will be hung up on a dried out tree… “

Imam Mahdi (atfs) will command a dark storm to destroy those who loved them (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar). Imam Mahdi will then order that the bodies be taken down from the tree. With the power of Allah, Imam Mahdi will restore them to life. He will order all mankind to gather. Then these two will be held liable for the sin of all oppression and kufr which occurred from the beginning of the world. They will be held responsible for all such sin …..

The sin of every murder committed, of every act of adultery committed, of every act of riba, of every act of haram wealth and injustice perpetrated until the advent of Imam Mahdi’s appearance, will be charged against them (Abu Bakr and, Umar). Both of them will plead guilty to all these crimes … Sahibul Amr will then command that they be hanged on a tree. He will command a fire to rise from the earth and devour them. A fire will (miraculously) rise and reduce them (Abu Bakr and Umar) and the tree to ashes..”

“Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.s.), Ameerul Mumineen (a.s.), Fatimah Zahra(sa), Hasan Mujtaba(as), Husain Shaheed(as), and all the infallible Imams(as) will come to life. All Mumins and all kafirs will also come to life. “

“… The two (Abu Bakr and Umar) will then be punished so much, that daily, in one day and one night, they will be killed and restored to life a thousand times. After this, Allah will take them away to wherever He desires and continue punishing them as long as He desires. “

Imam Ali used to recite the

following words in the Qunut of his prayers:

“O Allah! Send blessings to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and curse the two idols of Quraish who are their two Jibts, their two transgressors (Taghut), and their two liars,and also (curse) their two daughters. Indeed, those two disobeyed Your command, denied Your revelation, were ungrateful to Your bounty, opposed Your Apostle (&HF), overturned Your religion, altered the meaning of Quran, loved Your enemies, rejected Your blessings, banned Your regulations, canceled Your commandments, disbelieved in Your signs, were hostile to Your friends, were friendly to Your enemies, destroyed Your lands, and corrupted Your servants.

O Allah! Curse those two, their followers, the believers in their authority, their friends, and their lovers. Indeed, those two destroyed the house of the Prophet (&HF), broke its door, violated its roof, devastated what was in it, eradicated its people, removed its helpers, killed its babies, evacuated the Prophet’s pulpit from his executor and the inheritor of his knowledge, rejected his leadership, and became polytheists to their Lord. Thus so great are their sins. (O Allah!) Place them forever in the Hell (about which You said:) ‘And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! (74:27-28)’

O Allah! Curse them to the number of: every evil deed that they brought about, every truth that they hid, every ascent that they did on the pulpit, every believer that they put to

jail, every hypocrite that they backed up, every patron that harassed, every outcast one that they sheltered, every truthful one that they exiled, every disbeliever that they

helped, every leader that they overpowered, every obligatory act that they changed, every clue that they denied, every evil that they left behind, every blood that they shed, every

goodness that they replaced (with an alternative), every disbelief that they erected, every inheritance that they denied, every Fa’i (spoils without war) that they cut, every

illegitimate money that they consumed, every Khums that they made permissible (to consume), every falsehood that they founded, and the oppression that they spread, every hypocrisy that they hid, every fraud that they concealed, every darkness that they stretched, every promise that they did not keep, every treason that they committed on the trusts, every covenant that they broke, every Halaal that they forbade, every Haraam that made lawful, every stomach that they ruptured, every fetus that they caused to be miscarried, every arm that they beat, every transfer document that they tore apart, every gathering that they dispersed, every honourable one that they disgraced, every low one that they strengthened, every right that they deprived, every lie that they spread, and every command that they reversed.

O Allah! Curse them for any sign that they altered, for any obligation that they abandoned, for any Sunna that they changed, for any custom that they prevented, for any commandment that they suspended, for any pledge that they broke, for any legal argument/action that they dismissed, for any evidence that they denied, for any trick that they produced, for any betrayal that they brought forth, for any barrier that they raised, for any movement that they urged, for any fallacy that they imposed, for any testimony that they withheld, and for any will that they threw away.

O Allah! Curse those two in the most concealed secret and in the most manifest openness, the curse that is abundant, everlasting, persistent, uninterrupted, and inexhaustible in number, and (also) curse their supporters, their helpers, their lovers, and those who believe in their authority and submit to them, and those who incline towards them, those who promote/raise their claims, those who imitate their sayings, and those who acknowledge their leadership. (Then say four times:) O Allah! Punish them with the punishment that the People of Fire seek refuge from it. Amen O the Lord of the worlds.
