Tijani claims that the Sahabah killed ‘Ali
Tijani says:
Whereas the Companions of Moses plotted against Aaron and tried to kill him, some of the Companions of Muhammad killed his Aaron and pursued his sons and followers everywhere. They removed their names from the Diwan (account books of the treasury) and prohibited anyone to be named after them.[1]
Our comment:
Is there any book that mentions that the Sahabah radiya Llahu ‘anhum killed ‘Ali radiya Llahu ‘anhu? Subhan Allah! Blinded by his ignorance Tijani has reached the point where he contradicts undisputed reality and confirmed history.
What is well-known and accepted both by the Ahlus Sunnah and the Shia is that ‘Ali’s killers were a group from the Khawarij and the dreadful deed was carried out by the accursed Ibn Muljam. Since when are the Khawarij included among the Sahabah? Unless Tijani wishes to divide the Sahabah into four categories?
It is absolutely ridiculous to claim that they prevented anyone from adopting his name. How is it that there are so many scholars from the Ahlus Sunnah who still kept the name ‘Ali in the early period? How was it possible that his grandchildren kept the name ‘Ali? Tijani’s ignorance of history has reached an all-time low!
