Assalamualaikum,
We see many of the 12r Shias claim that the Ahl Al Bayt (as) had hatred and used to send lan'ah on the first 3 caliphs (ra). This is totally opposite in what the Ahl Al Bayt (as) actually did. These are the many lies that the shia try to spread in their attempt to separate the love of the Ahl Al Bayt (as) and the caliphs (ra). InshAllah, we will dispel these myths by actually providing authentic narrations and not fabricated ones attributed to the Ahl Al Bayt (as) by the shia:
1. "A group of their leaders assembled in his (Zayd's presence) and said: "May God have mercy on you! What do you have to say on the matter of Abu Bakr and Umar?" Zayd said, "I have not heard anyone in my family renouncing them both nor saying anything but good about them...when they were entrusted with government they behaved justly with the people and acted according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah."

2. Salim bin abi Hafsah asks the Imam about Abu Bakr and Umar: Ja’afar bin Muhammad told me: “O Salim, Abu Bakr is my grandfather, would a Man insult his own grandfather?” He (Ja’afar) also told me: ” May the intersession(Shafa’ah) of Muhammad peace be upon him never reach me on the day of judgement if I am not loyal to them and if I did not disassociate myself from their enemies”.
-Siyar A’alam al Nubalaa; Authentic Isnad
3. Ja’afar bin Muhammad (al Sadiq), from his Father Muhammad bin Ali (al Baqir), from Abdullah ibn Ja’afar bin Abi Talib that he said: ” Abu Bakr al Siddeeq may Allah be pleased with him became our Caliph and he was the best of the Caliphs of Allah, he was most merciful and most caring towards us. “
-al-Mustadraq ‘ala al-Sahihayn by al Hakim; Al-Hakim said:"Sahih" and al-Dhahabi agreed with him, Ibn Hajar al Asqalani said the hadith has a good chain of narrators.
4. Abu Abdullah Ja’afar bin Muhammad said: “Allah has dissociated himself from those who have dissociated themselves from Abu Bakr and Umar.”
-Imam al Dhahhabi; "Mutawatir"; Imam al Dhahabi (RH) said while commenting on the narration: “This saying is Mutawatir from Ja’afar Al-Sadiq, I bear witness in front of Allah that he is honest in his saying and not lying in front of anyone (Taqiyah), may Allah increase the Rafidah in ugliness”.
5. Narrated to me Abu ‘Alee Ismaa’eel bin al-Abbaas al-Warraaq who said: al-Hassan bin Muhammad bin as-Sabaah az-Za’faraanee narrated to me that Shabbaabah said, that Sawaadah bin Salamah said that ‘Abdullaah bin Qays said“A group of Christians came to ‘Ali(as) and at the head of them was a major scholar of the Jews. So the leader said: “You debate about how many groups the Jews split into?” He said: “Into seventy one sects”. And ‘Ali (as) said: “And this Ummah will split into similar to that, and the most deviated and evil sect of them: the ones who call to us (Ahlul Bayt), and a sign of them is that they insult Aboo Bakr (ra) and ‘Umar (ra)

6. Narrated from Ali, that prophet (Peace be upon him) said: “May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr. He married me to his daughter, took me the the Abode of Hijrah, and freed Bilal with his own property. May Allah have mercy on Umar. He spoke the truth even if he were to suffer on account of it , and he observed the truth which made people hate him and caused his loss of friends. May Allah have mercy on Uthman. The angels are shy before him. May Allah have mercy on Ali. O Allah, make him observe the truth wherever he goes”
-Ibn Asakir Arbain fi manaqib ummahatil muminin; "Sahih"
7. Ali ibn Abi Talib was asked about Uthman , so he said : He is the person who is remembered as “Dhul Nurayn” near Mala al-Ala (that is the gathering of angels in the heavens), for the Prophet (s) married his two daughters to him (i.e Uthman).

Her mother (i.e. the maternal grandmother of Imam Ja'far was Asmaa bint 'Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Bakr (as-Siddeeq ). For this reason Imam Ja'far used to say: 'Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq gave birth to me twice' (i.e. his lineage is directly linked to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq in two ways)."

Abu Bakr asked, "O Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) can you see them?" He replied, "Yes I can see them." Abu Bakr (radi-Allaahu 'anhu) then asked, "Can I also see them." So the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) wiped his hands over Abu Bakr's face and then he could also see everything. Upon this the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said to him, ANTA AL SIDEEQ("You are Siddeequ))".(al burhan , vol 2, page 120) (Tafseer Alee bin Ibraaheem al-Qummee under the explanation of the verse, "Idh-huma Fil-Ghaar" )

He was the second of the two in the cave with the Prophet peace be upon him, and as for ‘Omar, Allah had strengthened Islam with ‘Omar.”

14. "While I was standing amongst the people who were invoking Allah for `Omar bin Al-Khattab who was lying (dead) on his bed, a man behind me rested his elbows on my shoulder and said, “(O `Omar!) May Allah bestow His Mercy on you. I always hoped that Allah will keep you with your two companions, for I often heard Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) saying, “I, Abu Bakr and `Omar were (somewhere). I, Abu Bakr and `Umar did (something). I, Abu Bakr and `Omar set out.’ So I hoped that Allah will keep you with both of them.” I turned back to see that the speaker was `Ali bin Abi Talib."-Bukhari

"I heard Ibn ‘Abbas as saying: When ‘Omar b. Al-Khattab was placed in the coffin the people gathered around him. They praised him and supplicated for him before the bier was lifted up, and I was one amongst them. Nothing attracted my attention but a person who gripped my shoulder from behind. I saw towards him and found that he was ‘Ali. He invoked Allah’s mercy upon ‘Omar and said: You have left none behind you (whose) deeds (are so enviable) that I love to meet Allah with them. By Allah, I hoped that Allah would keep you and your two associates together. I had often heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I came and there came too Abu Bakr and ‘Omar; I entered and there entered too Abu Bakr and ‘Omar; I went out and there went out too Abu Bakr and ‘Omar, and I hope and think that Allah will keep you along with them."-Muslim

17. "May Allah reward such and such man who straightened the curve, cured the disease, abandoned mischief and established the sunnah. He departed (from this world) with untarnished clothes and little shortcomings. He achieved good (of this world) and remained safe from its evils. He offered Allah's obedience and feared Him as He deserved. He went away and left the people in dividing ways wherein the misled cannot obtain guidance and the guided cannot attain certainty." Nahjul Balagha Sermon 226: About a companion who passed away from this world before the occurrence of troubles. Ibn Abi'l-Hadid has written (in Sharh Nahj al-balaghah, vol. 14, pp. 3-4) that the reference here is to the second Caliph `Umar, and that these sentences have been uttered in his praise as indicated by the word '`Umar' written under the word 'such and such' in as-Sayyid ar-Radi's own hand in the manuscript of Nahj al-balaghah written by him.
18. محمد بن فضيل، عن سالم بن أبي حفصة قال: سألت أبا جعفر وابنه جعفرا عن أبي بكر وعمر، فقال: يا سالم تولهما، وابرأ من عدوهما، فإنهما كانا إمامَي هدى. ثم قال جعفر: يا سالم، أيسب الرجل جده؟ أبو بكر جدي، لا نالتني شفاعة محمد -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يوم القيامة إن لم أكن أتولاهما، وأبرأ من عدوهما .
