Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does not the statement of the Rafidah that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) did not announce that he was the one bequeathed to imply a criticism of Ali in that he remained silent about his right?
Answer:
This is what the scholars of knowledge have said. They say that this is a criticism of Ali in that he concealed the truth while knowing it. If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had bequeathed to him, he would have made it clear to the Companions, and the Companions were seeking the truth. Yes.
