Abu Bakr after the death of the Prophet (S.A.W.), His denial of the truthful and pure Fatima al-Zahra and his usurpation of her rights

Fatima is a part of the Prophet (S.A.W.), and the Prophet (S.A.W.) is angered when she is angered

Abu Bakr kills the Muslims who refused to pay him the Zakat

Abu Bakr prevents the writing of the Prophet's sunna as did 'Umar b. al-Khattab and 'Uthman b. 'Affan after him

'Umar b. al-Khattab was more severe than his companion on the traditions of the Prophet of Allah and forbade the people from transmitting them

Abu Bakr bestows the Caliphate upon his companion 'Umar and, in doing so, goes against the clear texts

'Umar b. al-Khattab contravenes the book of Allah with his personal reasoning
