One of the verses that Sunnis regarding the good deeds of Abubakr have put forward is the verse “va lazi jaa belsedghe va sadagha beh”(Zomar,33). Based on the Hadiths and analyses they have gathered, they attribute “sadagha be” to Abubakr. Their most important and valid reason is that of attributing that hadith to Imam Ali (AS), based on which the reference of this verse is Abubakr. Moreover, by mentioning that Abubakr preceded others in confirming the prophet (Pbuh), they have tried to make a relation between Abubakr and this verse. In this comparative study, the Sunni‘s pieces of evidence and reasons have been evaluated, and based on the several inter textual and outer textual reasons, we have come to the conclusion that the reference of the verse is Imam Ali (AS). Additionally, the tradition attributed to Imam Ali (AS) and other Sunni’s reasons which they consider reliable for themselves are not acceptable.
