The religious outstanding scholar Syed Al-Murtada in his book “Al-Shafi fil Imama” vol.3 p.114 mentions that most of Imam Ali’s (PBUH) companions and followers were loyal to and believe in the Imamate of Abu Bakir and Umar. The speech narrator Scholar Al-Noori Al-Tabrasi in the conclusion of his book “Mustadrik Al-Wasael”vol.5. p.18 says that those who fought on Imam Ali’s side in the three wars were martyrs among which so many were loyal to Abu Bakir and Umar. The question is as follows: what is the interpretation to the fact that most of the Imam Ali’s (PBUH) followers were loyal to Abu Bakir and Umar? Where the directives of Imam Ali? How did they hide the position of Imamate from Imam Ali’s (PBUH) followers and supporters who ignore disassociation with oppressors of Ahlulbait (PBUH)?
Answer
In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that most of the Muslims who pledge homage to Imam Ali (PBUH) after Othman’s killing regard Imam Ali (PBUH) as a fourth Kalifate after the prophet (PBUH&HF). There were very few people like Ammar bin Yasir and Hujur who believed that the one who preceded Imam Ali (PBUH) in Kalifate were not legitimate Califs. At that time, Imam Ali (PBUH) could not convince everyone in Kufa that he is oppressed as well as there are people who did not pledge their homage to Imam Ali (PBUH) nor did they accept him as the fourth calif. In addition to the followers of the three califs, this is the reason why Imam Ali was not successful in preventing the prayer of Al-Taraweeh and ousting Shuraih from judiciary. Hence, Imam Ali (PBUH) was obliged to send Shuraih to distant villages in Kufa to practice justice there for so many followers of Umar Bin Al-Khatab love him. The ones who believe in Imam Ali’s Imamate and obeyed him until killed in the three wars is a martyr. However, the Shia followers kept increasing at that time as he (PBUH) mentioned in his sermons such as Al-Shaqsheqyia and other sermons. After the event of Al—Taff, the enemies and the follower were distinguished. Then, Al-Mukhtar appeared and Banu Umayyad once again. Afterward, Abbasids appeared. However, the Imams (PBUH) along with their students worked hard to spread the right. Gradually, Iraq has become in the way it is now. Allah knows best.
