Bibliography

In this book, the author is thoroughly investigating the Sunni reports
on the alleged leadership of salat by Abu Bakr during the fatal illness
of the Messenger. He will be analyzing the bewildering contradictions
between the so-called “sahih” Sunni ahadith on the claim; and he will be
questioning the historicity of the whole episode. In particular, he will
be examining the correct implications of leadership in salat, according
to orthodox Sunni Islam. Does it indicate superiority? Does it confer
the khilafah? Do our brothers from the Ahl al-Sunnah really have any
case, even if the tale about Abu Bakr had been true?
