Sheikh al-Habib Sends A Sharp Message To Muqtada al-Sadr: "Evil is that for which you've knowingly confounded truth with falsehood"
(Please keep in mind the following is a translation from the original Arabic, and has some problems in its grammar and syntax.)
His Eminence Sheikh Yasser al-Habib has sent a written message with a sharp language to Muqtada al-Sadr in condemning his conference in Najaf, in which he raised the status of the murderers and the enemies of the Messenger of Allah and his family (may peace be upon them), Abu Bakr, Omar and Uthman (may Allah curse them), as well as he called for a unity with the Omaris and the Wahabis.
The message contained the following:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent.
All praise is due to Allah, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family, the people of Allah, and may the curse be upon their enemies, the enemies of Allah.
May blessings and peace be upon you, my Master, O Commander of the Faithful, and upon those beside you from the Prophets, the successors, and those who are near to Allah, and the mercy of Allah and His graces.
To the disobedient boy Muqtada:
May peace be upon those who followed the right path.
We have been informed of your disobedience, silliness and foolishness in hurting the heart of the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) as you gathered in a conference in the city of his brother, the Commander of the Faithful (may the blessings of Allah be upon him), in which you mentioned the enemies of his daughter, Al-Siddiqa al-Kubra Fatima al-Zahra (may the blessings of Allah be upon her), with tribute and glory.
Have you not been restrained by the modesty of our Master and Imam, the Argument of Allah, Mohammad, the son of Hassan (may the blessings of Allah be upon them) while you were ‘qualifying’ the caliphate of Abu Bakr, Omar and Uthman (may Allah curse them) and make the Master of the Monotheists, the Commander of the Faithful, Ali, as a fourth?! And you would then place those whom you called “Sahaba” in the understanding of “Al-Qurba” as a repulse to Allah and His Messenger, and judge without knowledge in which you condemned insulting the tyrant Omar, meanwhile the Messnger of Allah (may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) ordered that, as mentioned in the reliable and noble Al-Kafi, in which he said: “And increase your insults upon them” and you would contradict the pure Imams (may peace be upon them) in which their Al-Sadiq (may the blessings of Allah be upon him) says, as in the narration of Al-Kashi (may satisfactions be upon him): “We, the whole of Bani-Hashim, command our big ones and small ones to insult them and dissociate themselves from them.”
And you would then foolishen yourself and the people by whitewashing the Wahabis - as a doctrine and ideology - from terrorism and killings, and would then make it a duplicate with legacy, logic, religion and humanity, by saying: “O Alawis! O Omaris! O Wahabis! Enough distinction!” And as if uniting with the murderous and criminal Omaris and Wahabis are not a great misdeed according to you?! And as if the importance of Islam is unity on all cases, even if it would be based upon falsehood and betraying the covenant of the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)!
Woe to you! Do you not know what our Great Prophet said to his successor (may the blessings of Allah be upon them and their families)? Have you not read what Al-Saduq (may satisfactions be upon him) narrated in his chain of narrators on the authority Salman al-Mohammadi of the Prophet (may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his family), saying: “O Ali, Allah has ordained distinction and diversity upon this nation, and if Allah wished then He would have joined them upon the right path in which two of this nation would not dispute, nor would there be a strife on anything of its case, nor would the more preferred be denied.”
Evil is that for which you have made the truth becomes falsehood and the falsehood becomes truth, meanwhile you yourself are the ignorant who neither learned, nor were polite, and this miserable time made you become a head that would draw the general public with you, and you neither know how to write, nor to read! And this disastrous word of you is a witness against you, as it contains lingual and Arabic weaknesses, tunes and errors which would make the sorrowful laugh.
Get down on your ribs, and repent to Allah (may He be praised) from what you did, and announce your repentance to the people so that they will not be deceived because of you, do you not fear the Day of Judgment?! Do you not fear that the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings of Allah be upon him and his pure family), the Commander of the Faithful (i.e. Imam Ali), the Lady of all worlds (i.e. Fatima al-Zahra), and the Imams (may the blessings of Allah be upon them) would be your opponents in front of the One who overcomes over all creation, as you raised the status of the leaders of disbelief, deception and treachery, Abu Bakr, Omar and Uthman, who destroyed the religion of Islam?!
Would you be pleased that one would mention Saddam with tribute, and he was the killer of your father in front of you? For what is on your mind when you accepted, and did not feel embarrassed, to mention Abu Bakr, Omar and Uthman with tribute, and they were the killers of Al-Zahra, in front of her husband, the Commander of the Faithful, in Najaf, and he said: “Indeed, it is honoured Ali, the son of Abi-Talib, that the inside of Fatima would be darkened due to the hit!”.
Repent, or otherwise you are worse than a dog for your disobedience towards your forefathers. The poet said, and he said the truth:
“If the Alawi would follow a Nasibi, then what is it left from his father? Verily, the dog would be better than him because the father of the dog is visible in him!”
