The Dark Danger
nouncement that is not in the Qur'an, that he announces it as a
verse from the pulpit of Medina despite its not being in the
Qur'an, and that the Companions make no objection, yet Hazrat
Umar does not include it in the Qur'an because he is supposedly
afraid of gossip.
There is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible for the Caliph
of our Prophet (pbuh) to say of a pronouncement that does not
appear in the Qur'an that "It actually was in the Qur'an." That would
mean Umar denying the fact that the Qur'an is a well-protected Book,
and that would mean him denying God's word (surely Hazrat Umar
is beyond that). Umar is being horribly and enormously defamed
through these false hadiths.
It is also a terrible slander of the Companions to suggest that they
made no objection to a statement in a sermon that a verse of the
Qur'an was not protected. It is quite clear that the Companions would
have strongly objected to such a claim and immediately have pointed
to counter-evidence from the Qur'an.
Another ugly slander of Umar
through the false hadiths in ques-
tion is the allegation that he failed
to declare a pronouncement that
he thought actually formed
part of the Qur'an because he
was afraid of gossip. This
shows how perverse and hor-
rible the view of God, our
Prophet (pbuh), the Caliphs
and the Companions adopted
by false scholars who fabricate
hadiths truly is; Hazrat Umar
