Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Why do the sects that curse the Companions specifically curse al-Ṣiddīq and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) among the Companions?
Answer:
These people, because 'Umar, because al-Ṣiddīq and 'Umar are the ones who established Islam after the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Ṣiddīq fought the people of apostasy until he subdued them to Islam, and he fought those who withheld zakah until he forced them to pay it, and he spread Islam after the death of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And 'Umar is the one who led the armies and jihad in the path of Allah, opening up the conquests in the East and the West, and spreading knowledge in the East and the West. So they hate them for this reason.
