Reason Abu Bakr (r.a) Used Strong Words About A Pagan Diety
Sam Shamoun, the well-known Islamophobe, wrote a long article in which he expressed concern about Muslims’ condemnation of Pagans. This individual has been trying to make an issue of a reply of the Prophet’s companion Abu Bakr -may Allah bless them both- to Urwah bin Mas’ud when he represented the Pagans on the eve of the Truce of Hudaybiya.
Sam and his friends quote part of a longer narration from History of al-Tabari. As it appears on their pages, it reads:
“Then ‘Urwah said: “Muhammad, tell me: if you extirpate your tribesmen, have you ever heard of any of the Arabs who destroyed his own race before you? And if the contrary comes to pass, by God I see both prominent people and rabble who are likely to flee and leave you.” Abu Bakr said, “Go suck the clitoris of al-Lat!” – al-Lat was the idol of Thaqif, which they used to worship – “Would we flee and leave him?” … (The History of al-Tabari – The Victory of Islam, translated by Michael Fishbein [State University of New York Press (SUNY), Albany 1997], Volume VIII (8), p. 76; bold and underline emphasis ours)”[1]
later David wood quoted the same.
The question:-.
I did research on this matter but still it’s not satisfying.Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Also what is the source of this narration?
it’s authentic or fabricated ?

I don’t know if the narration is reliable or not, but what’s the purpose in investigating it? We already know our religion from authentic sources. If the narration is true then it’s for God to judge Abu Bakr on the day of judgement, and if it’s false then we could be spending our time on more productively in positive things that are the main focus of our religion. Even though it’s quite impossible, but even if we could ascertain such narrations then what?

I agree but Islamophobes use such things to counter Islam. They also try to defame the first khalifa of Islam and one of the companions to whom Allah promised Jannah .
So that’s why I wanted to know is there any way to counter them.
I went through one site and got some explanation but still m in confusion cause people use such words during anger.
So that’s why I also feel that this narration is false .
You can see this explanation here below 👇🏻:-
