9. As-Sunnah wash Shia1
The aim of this writer is not genuine criticism and true debate. Although his
book is supposed to be refutation of Allamah Sayyid Mohsin Amin Amili’s (r.a.)
Husoonul Maniya, it comprises of nothing, except nonsensical accusations,
debased insults and foul language.
We do not have any option, except to expose some of his allegations:
1. He has mentioned some beliefs of the Shia, all of which are false2, like
Shia talk ill of all companions of Prophet. That except for some few companions,
they regard all apostates. They believe that divine revelation comes to their
Imams. The Imams are in control of their death. They say that Quran is distorted
and verses have been deleted from it. They say that when in any gathering, the
Awaited Imam is mentioned, he attends that gathering, and therefore they rise up
as a mark of respect.3 They deny numerous fundamentals of faith.
Allamah Amini says: Yes, Shia do not regard all companions of Prophet
honest, and only say what the Quran says about them. Soon we would discuss
this in the evaluation of As-Sara Bainal Islam wal Wathniya.4 As for the other
points mentioned above; all of them are false allegations and unfounded claims.
2. Then he mentions a very regretful and inappropriate thing:5
“Statements of Sayyid Mohsin Amili regarding Fixed-time marriage
(Mutah), are sufficient to prove the deviation of Shia. They have another Fixedtime marriage (Mutah), called Mutah-e-Dauri; and they have reports extolling it.
Mutah-e-Dauri is that a number of people marry one woman: in such manner that
she is in company of one of them from dawn to sunrise, from sunrise till midday
with next one, from midday till afternoon with the third, from afternoon till
sunset with the fourth; and from sunset till night with the fifth; from night till
midnight with the sixth and from midnight till the next morning with the seventh.
And naming this kind of marriage as the strong castle by someone, who regards it
lawful, is neither unlikely nor a new thing.”
Attributing Dauri marriage is blatant allegation against Shia, which makes
one shudder, which infuriates and creates enmities to them. When he makes this
allegation, he should provide proofs of his claim from any Shia source. Should
have at least mentioned some of their own books, which attribute this to the Shia;
but the fact is that he has nothing to present as evidence, except his heart, which
is a victim of Satanic instigations.
As from what he thinks that the respected personality of Sayyid Mohsin
Amin Amili, author of Al-Husunul Maniyya, regards ‘Mutah-e-Dauri’ as lawful;
we ask him in which of his books has he approved this?
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ جَآءُو بِٱلْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌۭ مِّنكُمْ ۚ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّۭا لَّكُم ۖ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ ۚ لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُم مَّا ٱكْتَسَبَ مِنَ ٱلْإِثْمِ ۚ وَٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ كِبْرَهُۥ مِنْهُمْ لَهُۥ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌۭ (١١)
“Surely they who concocted the lie are a party from among you.
Do not regard it an evil to you; nay, it is good for you. Every
man of them shall have what he has earned of sin; and (as for)
him who took upon himself the main part thereof, he shall have
a grievous chastisement.”6
