Hadith 167

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – And by this chain, from Aban Bin Usman, from Al Haris Al Nazry who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj: Do you not see those who replaced the Favour of Allah for Kufr [14: 28], (Imam-asws) asked: ‘What are you all saying about that? ’ I said, ‘We are saying that these are the two tyrants (Abu Bakr and Umar) from the Quraysh, the Clan of Umayya and the Clan of Al-Mugheira’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj, this is about the Quraysh in its entirety. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Addressed His-azwj Prophet-saww, so He-azwj Said: “I-azwj Gave Preference to the Quraysh over the Arabs, and Completed upon them My-azwj Favours, and Sent to the My-azwj Rasool-saww, but they replaced My-azwj Favour with Kufr, and released their people into the abode of perdition? [14: 28]’’. [133]
