A non Ahmadiyya publication, Al Khatoot al Areedah published by an anti Ahmadiyya institution, Majliss of Al Haq Publication Society,. Canada gives a long list of insults which certain Muslims of non. Ahmadiyya persuasion have hurled against some of Islam's most respected and revered personalities. For instance, it states that these non. Ahmadiyya institutions: 'have published during the past years books that makes one's skin crawl and one's body tremble from the shock of what is written therein. Reading them utterly destroys any idea we may have entertained of developing mutual understanding and closeness with their Shi'ite authors and the like of them*54. The Majliss of Al Haq Publication Society's publication then proceeds to quote certain contemptuous references from these publications in which Hazrat Umar Khattab, the second Caliph is, God forbid, alleged to have been: [QUOTE THE MAJLISS AL HAQ PUBLICATION] plagued with a disease curable only by the water of men. . . [UNQUOTE THE MAJLISS AL. HAQ PUBLICATION] 55.

Prophet's blessed companion who, according to certain Traditions, would be 'by the side of the Holy Prophet in Paradise. ' 56. Since after the death of the Holy Prophet, nearly every Muslim section of the Ummah has ridiculed and insulted the saints and scholars of the other's community. Infact, many have even gone to the extreme limits of fabricating Traditions against some acknowledged saints and scholars of the Ummah. 53. Ibid: pg 11/12 56. Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari. 54.
