Is it understood from the verse, "The hand of Allah is above their hands," that it refers to the hand of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him? And does this negate Allah's satisfaction with Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, on the pretext that they broke their covenant?
Reviling the Companions is a grave evil, especially reviling Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, whom the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to emulate. Accusing the Sunnis of not understanding the Quran is baseless, as they rely on the semantics of words and the interpretations of the Prophet, the Companions, and the Successors. The mentioned interpretation of the verse is false, for Abu Bakr and Umar firmly adhered to the Prophet's methodology, and theirvirtues were attested to by the Companions, the Successors, and the scholars of the Salaf, including the Imams of the Household of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt). It is advised to stay away from the people of innovation and misguidance and not to listen to them, except for those whose feet are firmly rooted in sacred knowledge.
