It is well-known that Sunnis treat the closest companions of the Prophet i. Why then do the Shi'a tend to dislike them and treat them with such contempt? I know some Shi'a do not e. They won't even name their sons after Omar, Abu Bakr and Othman; it is almost impossible to find Shi'as with one of these names, whereas they are very common names among Sunnis.
Please note: I am not looking for an in-depth analysis here, just a summary of how this substantial difference in opinion came to be. The answer is that Shia believe that the Prophet based on God's order choose Ali PBUH as his successor and expressed this several times to the Muslims including in his last hajj. They view the fact that some Sahaba didn't follow his order as a big injustice and diversion from what Muslims should have done and believe that this diversion had a large effect on the Muslim community.
Additional negative feelings comes from according to Shia narration of the early Islamic history the way Abu Bakr and Omar treated the Prophet's family and decedents particularly Ali and Fatimah PBUT in various conflicts that arose during their reign. From Shia perspective, it is inconsistent to believe that all Sahaba can be admired when we know that they had several infightings and even war among them after the Prophet's time and it is not possible that all of them were just Muslims in these events.
These are more or less the bases of the negative feelings. PS: I personally have never heard anyone admiring the killer of Omar among Shia, the person was not a Muslim let alone Shia. I don't think he is of much importance from Shia perspective. The reason is that according to Shi'a only God can select the Caliph and after the Prophet God selected Ali as His Caliph, who received divine knowledge of the prophet to guide humans.
This was declared by the prophet in front of , Muslims at Ghadir at the final Hajj of the Prophet. So the Shi'a consider the Caliphate as Ali's S.
Also another reason is that the Shi'a believe that the daughter of prophet, Fatima Zahra S. Every single part of this answer can be proved from Qur'an and hadith, but because you asked for short answer I skipped them; you can ask each part in separate question. Hadith of the pond of Khumm. When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, "We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah. They have made their oaths a screen for their misdeeds : thus they obstruct men from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.
That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: So a seal was set on their hearts: therefore they understand not. That is stated about them first being Mu'men to the holy prophet but then denying his succeeder Imam Ali A. Tafseer Al-Borhan. And what is its history? The differences are related more to historical events, ideological heritage and issues of leadership.
The first and central difference emerged after the death of Prophet Muhammad in A. This group held that Ali was appointed by the prophet to be the political and spiritual leader of the fledgling Muslim community. Abu Bakr became the first caliph and Ali became the fourth caliph. Aisha was defeated, but the roots of division were deepened. D For the Shias, this battle, known as the Battle of Karbala, holds enormous historical and religious significance.
Hussein was killed and his forces defeated. For the Shia community, Hussein became a martyr. The day of the battle is commemorated every year on the Day of Ashura.
Over time, Islam continued to expand and develop into evermore complex and overlapping societies that spanned from Europe to sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa to Asia. This development demanded more codified forms of religious and political leadership. Sunni Muslims trusted the secular leadership of the caliphs during the Ummayad based in Damascus from A.
Other questionable acts are reported as follows: Lubaynah was a slave girl of Umar. She accepted Islam and Umar would beat her mercilessly until he was tired.
He would then say, "I have only stopped beating you because I am tired. One day when Abu Jahl was visiting Umar and he took it upon himself to beat her. Zinnira was beaten so harshly that she lost her eyesight. One day, the Quraish called for somebody to volunteer himself for the assassination Muhammad. Umar volunteered himself for this job, at which everybody exclaimed: "Surely, you can do it, Umar!
Umar said: "I am after finishing Muhammad. Let me settle with you first. Sa'ad announcing his Islam, also took out his sword. They were about to start a duel when Sa'ad said, "you had better first set your own house in order. Your sister and brother-in-law both have accepted Islam.
He became infuriated and gave her a slap which caused her to bleed. However, his sister did not denounce her religion. He went to meet Muhammad. Umar then made his way to the house of al-Arqam. Will you not refrain lest Allah reveals that information about you that He has already revealed about Waleed ibn Mugheera? Hafsa , the daughter of Umar, was originally married to Khunais ibn Hudhaifa. When he died, Umar sought to find a husband for her.
He approached his friend Uthman who said "I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present," after thinking about the proposal for a few days. Umar became angry with Uthman and asked Abu Bakr the same thing. Abu Bakr did not give him a reply, causing Umar to become even more angry with him than he was with Uthman. Umar then preceded to Muhammad to discuss the previous two incidents. Muhammad reassured Umar by saying that "Hafsa will marry one better than Uthman will marry one better than Abu Bakr.
Furthermore, Muhammad was pressured in to marrying the daughter of Umar the same way Umar pressured Ali to marry his daughter to him. Hafsa was married to Muhammad in Muhammad's household was not always peaceful as his wives were in two groups. Umar said on one occasion:. Shi'as believe that Umar's behavior towards his daughter is another example of his brute character.
They see his fatherly advice to Hafsa in her time of despair as unworthy of any father, and especially of a future supposed protector and guide of the Muslim nation. Muhammad became ill in the year and his health took a serious turn on a Thursday. He summoned his companions and announced that he wanted to write a will. It is reported that Muhammad asked for writing materials to write a statement that would prevent the Muslim nation from going astray for ever.
The first person to reply was Umar, answering that there is no need for a will, arguing that Muhammad was crazy and that Umar had the Qur'an which was sufficient for him.
In another report it is stated that the first person replying, Umar by implication, said that Muhammad was delirious and talking non-sense. This reply caused a great commotion resulting in Muhammad rebuking Umar for calling him ill and sending him and his partisians out of the house. This event is the source of much controversy between the Shi'as and Sunnis; the former claim that Umar wrongly prevented Muhammad from confirming Ali as his chosen successor. The Sunni view is that Umar was acting out of compassion and love for Muhammad.
He sensed that Muhammad was talking from the depths of his death-sickness, and did not want to burden him and argue with him. Muhammad was not known to have written anything in his entire life, and it is the majority view of the Muslims that Muhammad was an ummi, an illiterate man, who knew not how to read or write. This is the primary defense of Muslims against claims that Muhammad wrote the Qur'an, is that he was not literate.
So upon hearing a request from Muhammad to write something, Umar knew that this could not be Muhammad talking rationally, or so goes the Sunni argument. Ali Asgher Razwy , a 20th century Shi'a Islamic scholar writes:. Nor does he Muhammad say anything of his own desire.
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him. Chapter 53; verses 3 and 4. It is now for the Muslims to decide if this is the "logic" which appeals to them, and therefore, is acceptable to them. Two days later, a Saturday, Umar, Abu Bakr, Uthman and others, were sent away with a military detachment heading to Syria , under the command of an 18 year old man named Usama ibn Zaid. Ali and many others from the Banu Hashim where ordered to stay in Medina.
Umar protested to this decision, causing Muhammad to forbid them to abandon Zaid's detachment. They left, but camped outside Medina and returned the next day. Two days after that, on Monday, Muhammad died. Abu Bakr was not present in Medina, Shia claiming he left it due to embarrassment since Abu Bakrs prayer incident.
When Umar heard the news of Muhammad's death, he rushed to Muhammad's home, raised his sword and said he would "chop of the head" of anybody who claimed that Muhammad had died.
Ibn Abbas approached him and reminded him that the Qur'an says Muhammad is mortal "Muhammad is but a messenger; messengers the like of whom have died before him. If, then, he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heel? Abu Bakr then says to him "If anyone worshipped Muhammad, then know that Muhammad is dead, but if anyone worshipped Allah, then Allah is living and does not die.
