Imposters and Fake Prophets

Sura Al-Inaam: Aya 93 Ch: VII

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ قَالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَمَن قَالَ سَأُنزِلُ مِثْلَ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْ تَرَىٰ إِذِ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي غَمَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ بَاسِطُو أَيْدِيهِمْ أَخْرِجُوا أَنفُسَكُمُ ۖ الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ وَكُنتُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهِ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says: It has been revealed to me; while nothing has been revealed to him, and he who says: I can reveal the like of what Allah has revealed? and if you had seen when the unjust shall be in the agonies of death and the angels shall spread forth their hands: Give up your souls; today shall you be recompensed with an ignominious chastisement because you spoke against Allah other than the truth and (because) you showed pride against His communications.

{This Aya is about imposters like Muslama Alkazab (the Liar), who claimed that he received the revelations through an angel, Imposter Aswad Eisa claimed, a person riding a mule comes and teaches him “The Book” and Abdullah ibni Abi Sarah (a milk-brother of Ottoman III caliph, one of the scripter of Quran), while taking down revelations, occasionally out of fun and wickedness used to change the revelation e.g. from غفور الرحيم to  العليم و الحكيم, as all were among of good names of Allah, Prophet preferred not to write them off, therefore will endorse them. Once when Aya

لقد  خلقنا الإنسان من سلالة من  طين

 was being revealed, he spoke فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين  ahead of Prophet, which was later revealed by Gabriel too, so Prophet endorsed it too. Abdullah thought Prophet is also fake, there is no Revelation and no prophet hood, so as Mohammad is doing he can also make the similar claims of revelation, he deserted Islam and Medina and went back to Mecca, reverted back to Idolatry and talked bad things about Prophet. He was not pardon by Prophet after the conquest Mecca although Ottoman pleaded number of times for his pardon. Abdullah was never allowed in Medina during Prophet’s life time, neither during the caliph-hood of AbuBakar or Omar. But Ottoman during his regime pardoned him and called him back in Medina and later was made governor of Egypt}.

Ottoman III Caliph was known for his favortism towards his tribe "Bani Ommyia" and his close friends, kins and relatives. History is full of such narrations and episodes. Favoring, pardoning and appointing Abdullah ibni Abi Sarah as governor of Egypt is one glaring example of that.

Conquest of fort Khyber and caliph hood of Ali AS 

Sura alMaeda: Ayas 54, 55 & 56 Ch: VI

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي 

سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ ۚ ذَ‌ٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

"O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall love them and they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they shall strive hard in Allah's way and shall not fear the censure of any censurer; this is Allah's Face, He gives it to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.
And whoever takes Allah and His messenger and those who believe for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant.{About purpose the Revealing of these ayas, there are difference opinions, but most probably these ayas were revealed to highlight role of Ali, as conqueror and immediate and without intervention successor to Prophet (SAWA). As it happened during siege of Fort Khyber , the siege prolonged and dragged on to day 18, most of companion had been tried and sent to conquer the fort, but all failed miserably and returned defeated".

لا عطين الرأ ته غدا رجلا كرارا غير فرارا

 

يحب الله و رسوله و يحبه الله و رسوله و يفتح الله يد يه

On the last night Prophet said, "Tomorrow I will gave my standard to "A Real Man (Brave and a Conqueror)", one who is steady-fast sticking to his post and not a deserter. One who loves Allah and His Prophet. Allah and His Prophet love him. One, who is authentic and bona fide Conqueror. Next day Ali AS was summoned and the Standard was given to him. Ali killed Marhab Chieftain of the Jews and master of the Fort and the door of Fort (Each door panel was so heavy that 40 men could only open and shut it with their full force) was uprooted and lifted and placed over the surrounding trench so that Islamic army could enter the fort without any difficulty. Aya 55 again was revealed for Ali AS, as he was the only person who gave his ring to a beggar in alms during his prayers}
