Hazrat Pir Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani relates a popular riwayat in which Hazrat Ali (Allah be pleased with him) declares he will give saza to anyone who says he is more afzal than Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar (Allah be pleased with them both). This riwayat has been quoted many times but Hazrat Pir Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani dissects this riwayat to determine its real validity.
