The renowned scholar, Allama Abu Al-Fath Muhammad ibn Abdul Karim ibn Ahmad Al-Shahrastani (d. 548 AH), while discussing the life of a Rafidhi liar named Ibrahim ibn Yasar ibn Hani Al-Nazzam, also exposes his heretical beliefs.
One of the lies attributed to this Rafidhi, as mentioned by Allama Shahrastani, is:
"On the day of allegiance (to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ), Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) struck Fatimah (رضی اللہ عنہا) on her stomach, causing her to miscarry the child in her womb. Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) was shouting: 'Burn her house down along with its inhabitants.' At that time, there was no one in the house except Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn (علیہم السلام)."
[Al-Milal wa al-Nihal by Al-Shahrastani: 1/57, Al-Wafi bi al-Wafayat by Al-Safadi (d. 764 AH): 5/347]
Rafidhi Shia often use this narration as a basis for cursing the Rightly Guided Caliph, Sayyiduna Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ). However, there is no chain of narration mentioned up to Ibrahim ibn Yasar, nor is there any chain from Ibrahim to Sayyiduna Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) available in any book in the world. This narration is nothing but an outright fabrication and the work of Satan. Using such baseless, unverified, and nonsensical narrations to propagate against the Companions (رضی اللہ عنہم) is a sign of poor judgment.
Ibrahim ibn Yasar ibn Hani Al-Nazzam held corrupt beliefs and was heavily influenced by Greek philosophy. He adhered to the Mu'tazilite school of thought, and a sect known as the Nazzamiyyah emerged in his name.
Hafiz Al-Dhahabi (673-748 AH), in his biography of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Darim Abu Bakr Al-Kufi (d. 351 AH), mentions, quoting Abu Al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Hammad ibn Sufyan Al-Kufi Hafiz (d. 384 AH), the following about him:
"He was righteous for most of his life, but towards the end, the majority of what was read to him consisted of slanders against the Companions. I was present one day when a man was reading to him the narration that Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) kicked Fatimah (رضی اللہ عنہا) until she miscarried Muhsin."
[Mizan al-I'tidal by Al-Dhahabi: 1/139, Entry: 552, Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Sari]
It should be noted that Hafiz Al-Dhahabi described this Ibn Abi Darim as:
"A Rafidhi and a severe liar."
[Mizan al-I'tidal by Al-Dhahabi: 1/139]
Imam Al-Hakim also commented on him:
"A Rafidhi, unreliable."
[ibid.]
Only Satan himself could have been the one who recited such falsehoods to this lying Rafidhi. There is no chain of narration for this story, neither in the books of the Rafidhis nor in those of Ahl al-Sunnah. The Rafidhi Shia should either provide the chain of narration for this lie attributed to Sayyiduna Umar ibn Al-Khattab (رضی اللہ عنہ) or repent, for Allah's punishment is severe, and His torment is extremely painful.
