THE SHIA BELIEF CONCERNING RAJ'AH : The shia believe that once Imam Mehdi appears, all the Ambiya (A.S) including Muhammad (Sallallaho Alayhi Wasallam), all the A'immah and the Khulafa and Hazrat Aa'ishah (R.A) [who are kuffar according to shia belief] will be brought back to life and revenge will be taken from Abu bakar, Umer and Ayesha (R.A) who will be removed from their graves and lashed. The belief of the Ahlus sunnah is that before Qiyaamah, no person will back to life, nor will any other creation come back to life. Therefore, this belief of the shia is in reality a rejection of the day of Qiyamaah.
The Imam has mentioned that he who does not believe mutah to be halal and he who does not believe in Raj'ah (returning to life before Qiyaamah) is not from amongst us. [tafseer safi by Faidh Kashani, part1, page347, line18, New Iranian Edition]. Before Qiyaamah, Nabi (sallallaho Alayhi Wasallam), Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, Hussein (R.A) and a few other sincere Muslims and some kuffar will be brought back to life. [Anwar-e-Naumaniyah by Naimatullah Jazairi, part 2, page 87, Bab: Nur Fi Kayfiyyatir Raj'ah, New Iranian Edition]. People mourn on the grave of Hussein (R.A) because he was murdered and the angels were unable to assist him. But when Mehdi comes and people will return to life, the angels will help Mehdi. [Aqida-e-Raj'ah Ash shafi by Zafar Husain, part 2, page 196, chapter 60, Shameem book depot Edition, Nazimabad Karachi, New Edition] Before Qiyaamah all the Ambiya (A.S) will be back to life and assist Ali (R.A). [Zamimah Maqbool by Maqbool Husain Dehlvi, page 46, Maqbool press Edition, Dehli]. Ali will come back to life. [Hayatul Quloob (urdu translation) by Basharat Husain, part 1, page 204, Imamiyah kutub khana Edition, Lahore]. Aqidatur-Raj'ah means to believe that all the Ambiyah (A.S) will come back to life before Qiyaamah and help Ali (R.A). [ibid]. Ali (R.A) will wage a battle in the period of Raj'ah. [Usoolush Shari'ah by Shiekh Muhammad Husain Sarghoda, page 26, Allah Qadeer printing press edition, Sarghoda]. When imam Mehdi comes he will hang Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar at the holy grave of Hazrat Mohammad (saw). (Majma-ul-maarif, page #49). Mullah Baqir Majlisi writes: 'When Imam Mahdi arrives, Aa'ishah will be resurrected so that she may be given a prescribed punishment and that Fatimah be vindicated.'
