about six months (1) after the death of the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

The same applies to his question, “Is there anyone among you with offspring like mine?” (2)

The report contains numerous lies, such as the statement, “I never asked Allah for anything without asking the same for you.” The statement, “No one shall convey anything on my behalf except Alī,” is likewise a lie (3).

Al-Khattābī said in his book Shiār al-Dīn (4): “The statement, ‘No one shall convey anything on my behalf except a man from my household,’ is something transmitted by the people of Kufa from Zayd ibn Yathī (5), who is considered suspect as a narrator and has been described as a Rāfidī. Most (6) of those who conveyed the Messenger’s message were not members of his household. The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—sent Asad ibn Zurārah to Medina to call the people to Islam, teach the Helpers the Quran, and give them an understanding of the religion. He sent al-Alā ibn al-Hadramī to Bahrain for a similar purpose; he sent Muādh and Abū Mūsā to Yemen; and he sent Attāb ibn Asīd to Mecca. What, then, of the claim that no one could convey anything on his behalf except a man from his household?”

(1) H and B read: “six months.” (2) A reads: “Is there anyone among you who has had two children like my two children?” B reads: “Is there anyone among you who has a child like my child?” H reads: “Is there among you a child like my child?” (3) A and B read: “then it is a lie.” (4) Al-Khattābī’s biography was given above at 1/303. Sezgin did not mention *Kitāb Shiār al-Dīn* in his biographical entry on al-Khattābī, vol. [0–9], part [0–9], p. [0–9] 27–429. It is therefore a lost work. (5) A reads: “Zayd ibn Baqī.” Al-Dhahabī mentioned him in *Mīzān al-Itidāl*, 2/107, and said: “Zayd ibn Yathī al-Hamdānī narrated from Alī and Abū Dharr. No one other than Abū Ishāq narrated from him. Abān ibn Taghlib called him Zayd ibn Nufay, but the former is more correct.” (6) A reads: “and the foremost of.”

بَعْدَ مَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِنَحْوِ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ (١) . وَكَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ لَهُ وَلَدٌ كَوَلَدِي (٢) ؟ . وَفِيهِ أَكَاذِيبُ مُتَعَدِّدَةٌ، مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ: «مَا سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا وَسَأَلْتُ لَكَ مِثْلَهُ» . وَكَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: «لَا يُؤَدِّي عَنِّي إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ. مِنَ الْكَذِبِ» (٣) . وَقَالَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ شِعَارِ الدِّينِ (٤) : وَقَوْلُهُ: «لَا يُؤَدِّي عَنِّي إِلَّا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي» . هُوَ شَيْءٌ جَاءَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يَثِيعَ (٥) ، وَهُوَ مُتَّهَمٌ فِي الرِّوَايَةِ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى الرَّفْضِ. وَعَامَّةُ (٦) مَنْ بَلَّغَ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَقَدْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَسْعَدَ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَيُعَلِّمُ الْأَنْصَارَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيُفَقِّهُهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ. وَبَعَثَ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، وَبَعَثَ مُعَاذًا وَأَبَا مُوسَى إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، وَبَعَثَ عَتَّابَ بْنَ أَسِيدٍ إِلَى مَكَّةَ. فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبَلِّغُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ؟ . وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَفِيهِ أَكَاذِيبُ: مِنْهَا قَوْلُهُ: كَانَ لِوَاؤُهُ مَعَهُ فِي كُلِّ
