f:1234 -    False reports about Hadhrat Umar
Country : India,
Name : Muhammad Ishtiyaq Qadri
Question:     Some people say that Hadhrat 'Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) burned down the house of Hadhrat Fatima (May Allah be well pleased with her) and her son Hadhrat Imam Muhsin died in it.  They also say that Hadhrat 'Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) forced Hadhrat ‘Ali (May Allah be well pleased with him) to give his allegiance to Hadhrat Abu Bakr (May Allah be well pleased with him).  Did all this really happen or are just baseless tales?
............................................................................
Answer:     The incidents about Hadhrat 'Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) related in the question are totally baseless.  The books of the Ahle Sunnah do NOT mention any such incident about Hadhrat 'Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him).  All the Companions, including Hadhrat 'Umar (May Allah be well pleased with them), respected and revered the Prophet’s Family.  

There is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari.  Please go through this line out of it:

Hadhrat Abu Bakr (May Allah be well pleased with him) says:

Translation: By Him who holds my life in His hands!  Treating the Prophet’s Family (Ahle Bait) kindly is dearer to me than treating my own family kindly.  (Sahih Bukhari, Kitaab Ul Manaaqii Qaraabai Rasoolillahi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Hadith No. 3435)


And Allah Most High knows best.
