Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

  Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar ‘Asqalānī rahimahullah  writes in Hadiyy as-Sārī p.459,  ‘Shī’iyyat is love for Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu  and taking him to be more virtuous than the rest of the Ṣaḥābah radiyallahu 'anhum . So, the person who takes Sayyidunā ‘Al ī  radiyallahu 'anhu to be more worthy of Khil ā fat than Sayyidun ā Ab ū Bakr radiyallahu 'anhu and Sayyidun ā ‘Umar radiyallahu 'anhu, he has exceeded the limits in Sh ī ’iyyat. Such a person is called a R ā fi ḍī , he is not called a Sh i’ī.   Then, together with giving preference to Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu in the matter of Khilāfat, he swears Shaykhayn and others, and shows his hatred for them, he becomes an extreme Rāfiḍī.

Due to this, he was burnt alive.  [See Fayd-ul-Mun'im, Sharh Muqaddamah Sahih Muslim p.97] These were the accursed people who laid the foundation of the Shia religion of hatred for the Sahabah and the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah. Their lies continue to be spread by their lovers and followers. There is no such a thing as uniting with the liars and filthy mouthed Rawafid and Shia who continue to curse the best of mankind after the Ambiya' 'alayhim as-salam.    May Allah Ta'ala protect the entire Muslim Ummah from the filth of speaking ill of the blessed Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhu...
