I am currently reading the book "Shi'a Islam" by Allameh Tabataba'i, and I encountered this Hadith in early pages:

>While suffering from the illness that led to his death, Muhammad organized an army under the command of Usamah ibn Zayd and insisted that everyone should participate in this war and go out of Medina. A number of people disobeyed the Prophet including Abu Bakr and Umar and this disturbed the Prophet greatly. (Sharh, Ibn Abi’l-Hadid, Cairo, 1329, vol.l, p.53.) At the moment of his death the Holy Prophet said: "Prepare ink and paper so that I will have a letter written for you which will be a cause of guidance for you and prevent you from being misled." Umar, who prevented this action, said: "His illness has run out of hand and he is delirious." (Tarikh-i Tabari; vol.ll, p.436: Sahih of Bukhari, vol.lll and Sahih, of Muslim, Cairo, 1349, vol. V; al-Bidayah wa’l-nihayah, vol. V, p.227; Ibn Abi’l- Hadid, vol. I, p.133.)
I am finding this astounding that the event, as cited above, is recited by canonical Sunni Hadith books like Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. The event is not even disputed.

>> No.17432254

If we further look into Shi'a Hadith, there is this account from Ali (as):

>Ali (AS) said [to Talhah ibn Ubaydullah]: “[...] the Holy Prophet (SAW) during his illness privately gave me key to one thousand doors of knowledge with which one thousand doors open, and if the Ummah had, from the day the Holy Prophet (SAW) passed away, followed me and obeyed me, then it would have got subsistence from up and from beneath its feet till the Day of Judgment with satisfaction. O Talhah, were you present when the Holy Prophet (SAW) asked for a paper so that he could write that with which the Ummah does not deviate and oppose? At that time your companion said what he said - (ie Allah’s Messenger is delirious.) At that time the Holy Prophet (SAW) became very angry and left it.”
>Talhah said: “Yes I was present at that time.”
>Ali (AS) said: “When you people left, the Holy Prophet (SAW) told me all these and also told me what he wanted to write and he wanted people to be wirness to it. At that time Archangel Jibre’eel informed him that Allah Azz Wa Jall knew what opposition and separation the Ummah will have. Then he asked for a paper and asked me to write what he wanted written and made three people witness it - Salman, Abu Dhar and Miqdad, and he told the names of the Imams who are guides, whose obedience Allah has commanded till the Day of Judgment. In these first is my name, and the second is this my son (pointing towards Hasan). After him Husayn and then nine from my this son Husayn (from The Book of Sulaym ibn Qays).
After that, Ali (as) informs Talhah that the Quran compiled by Umar and Uthman is incomplete because they refused take in consideration his compilation of the Book.

How do the Sunni make sense of this? There is this well-documented disrespect and disobedience by Abu Bakr and Umar towards the Prophet, and those people chose precisely these two as the Prophet's successors, apparently with lasting impact on the Holy Book. How is this justified?

Press x to doubt

The Sunni account is in fact Abu Bakr, رضي الله عنه, carried this out even though everyone urged him not to because after Muhammad ﷺ died a civil war broke out. But Abu Bakr said by Allah he would carry it out

I found this in Abu Bakr's page on Wikipedia:
>In 632, during the final weeks of his life, Muhammad ordered an expedition into Syria to avenge the defeat of the Muslims in the Battle of Mu'tah some years previously. Leading the campaign was Usama ibn Zayd, whose father, Muhammad's erstwhile adopted son Zayd ibn Harithah, had been killed in the earlier conflict.[51] No more than twenty years old, inexperienced and untested, Usama's appointment was controversial, becoming especially problematic when veterans such as Abu Bakr, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas were placed under his command.[52][53] Nevertheless, the expedition was dispatched, though soon after setting off, news was received of Muhammad's death, forcing the army to return to Medina.[52] The campaign was not reengaged until after Abu Bakr's ascension to the caliphate, at which point he chose to reaffirm Usama's command, which ultimately led to its success.
It seems that he did after the Prophet's death carry out a campaign of his own, but he disobeyed the prophet by refusing to join the expedition under Usamah. At any rate, if you dispute the event, we might as well look up the citation in al-Bukhari to see if it is really recited.

Because Shia propanda protrays them as such. This was of course a controversial matter because Usama was a black son of a slave and adolescent and being put over old men who had been fighting with Muhammad ﷺ for many, many years. Sunnis understand it as Muhammad ﷺ testing loyalty and obedience with Abu Bakr not only following but doing so after Muhammad ﷺ died and it seemed like an incredible strategic error but because he had faith he did so regardless

Abu Bakr was put in charge of leading prayer by Muhammad ﷺ when he became too weak to and was dying. Abu Bakr had considerable seniority and was like Muhammad's ﷺ brother, he was his constant companion and closest advisor since before the prophethood. He was the first man to follow him. He was a natural choice for Khalifah. So was Ali but only after he had some years on him

I looked up Bukhari, and this is how the event is narrated:
>Narrated Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah: Ibn `Abbas said, "WhenAllah's Apostle was on his deathbed and there were some men inthe house, he said, 'Come near, I will write for you somethingafter which you will not go astray.' Some of them ( i.e. hiscompanions) said, 'Allah's Apostle is seriously ill and youhave the (Holy) Qur'an. Allah's Book is sufficient for us.' Sothe people in the house differed and started disputing. Someof them said, 'Give him writing material so that he may writefor you something after which you will not go astray.' whilethe others said the other way round. So when their talk anddifferences increased, Allah's Apostle said, "Get up." Ibn`Abbas used to say, "No doubt, it was very unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's Apostle was prevented fromwriting for them that writing because of their differences andnoise."
The names are prudently not mentioned, as they are probably mentioned in other cited sources. It does however give credence to Ali's account that some of the companions did not want the Prophet to write the letter. Most likely he was going to make it explicit and formal that he wanted Ali as the successor, and companions like Abu Bakr and Umar, sensing the danger, prevented him from doing so.
