Standpoint and the status of Shabbeer (Imaam Husaien) is the Reality of Eternity The styles of Koofi and Shaami have been changing
Written by
Allaamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi
The sacred Holy Qur’aan has commanded the love and adoration of
the close relatives of the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) on us. Moreover in several sayings of
the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) highly
esteem attributes and qualities of the relatives of the Prophet has been
specified. It is also evident the clear detail in the Holy Qur’aan of
severe wrath for the one inflicting pain to the Prophet.
According to a sacred Hadees, Paradise will be
forbidden on the person who will cause pain even to a single sacred hair of the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). This is evident for
Aboo Lahab (Abdul Uzzaa) who was a relative and connected to the paternal uncle
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) but a
whole chapter is revealed of his condemnation for inflicting pain and verbally
abusing the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and
he is used as the fuel of hell. The daughter of Aboo Lahab, Sabee’ah,
became a companion by becoming a Muslim. Few amongst the companions of
the Prophet called her “the daughter of the fuel of hell”, though referring to
her in such a way by the companions of the Prophet (Allaah is well
pleased with them) was not wrong but she disliked being sarcastically
called this. She presented her complaint in the court of the beloved Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) became ardent and
said in the gathering of the companions, “Who was the one who inflicted pain on
me through my close relatives?” Take from this that even sarcastically
referring to the paternal uncle’s daughter in such a way is a cause of distress
to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) then
think how painful was the brutal murder of the beloved prince whom the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) called his own
flower and whose crying in the lap of the affectionate mother was not tolerated
by the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). That
prince whom the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) would
place on his shoulders, who climbed on to the Lord of the Worlds during Salaat who
would in turn would extend his prostration so that the prince did not fall off
his back.
This is that prince whose maternal grandfather the beloved Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is the Chief of all
the Prophets and the Messengers (سيد الأنبياء والمرسلين Saiyyidul
Anmbiyaa Wal Mursaleen). Whose father is the Supporter of the
Universe (Maulaa-e-Kaainaat) and the Chief of the Friends of
Allaah (سيد الأولياء Saiyyidul -Auliyaa) ‘Alee
Murtazaa (Allaah is well pleased with him) and whose mother is
the Mother of all the Progeny of the Prophet (Ummus-Saadaat) and
the Most respectful Lady of the Worlds (Makhdoomah-e-Kaa’inaat) Saiyyidah
Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah is well pleased with her) سيدة نساء العالمين والجنة the
Chief of the Women of all the Worlds and the Paradise. This Prince
himself is the Chief of the Youth of Paradise. He is the companion of the
Prophet, the manifestation of the courageousness of the Prophet, the Flower of
the Prophet. Undoubtedly, his love is the love of Almighty Allaah and the
beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). His
anger is the anger of Almighty Allaah and the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). It is the supplication of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) for the one who
possesses his love for (Saiyyidinaa Imaam) Husaien (Allaah is well
pleased with him) that, ‘O Allaah, You may have love for him.’ In the
sermon of every Friday every orator takes his name with
reverence. Salaat is not performed if salutation is not
sent on them. Think, how much agony it is to the Prophet with the viciously
murder of this Prince?
The Pride of the Worlds, Saiyyidinaa Imaam Husaien (Allaah
is well pleased with him) was the most prominent person of his
era. In every way he was superior and exalted in wisdom, action, piety,
devotion and lineage. He knew the Laws of Islaam and the Tradition of the
Prophet (Sunnat) very well. No one has the chance to
speak negatively of his character in anyway. Instead of accepting his
un-comparable sacrifice, his greatness and rank of honour, some ill-fated use
their words and minds to express their wicked thoughts. In addition to this
these people conspire to call the one person who murdered the Honour and
the Progeny of the Prophet, the demolisher of the respect of the Haram of
Prophet, the one who ordered the stoning of the House of Allaah (Ka’batul-Laah),
sinful, immoral, cruel, tyrannical, ill character Yazeed paleed عليه ما يستحقه Alaiehi
maa yastahiqquhu (may he get what he deserves) a “dweller of
Paradise”. And they ignite mischief and corruption amongst the Ummat.
Instead of enlightening and enriching themselves by edifying the brilliance of
his character and adopting the love and devotion of the respected grandson of
the Prophet, without reflecting on their finality, they are abusing themselves
and destroying their Log of Conduct (Naamah-e-A’maal) by
praising and appreciating Yazeed Paleed and his dark actions. (معاذ الله
Allaah may forbid!)
In their desperate effort to declare Yazeed Paleed a dweller of
Paradise they present this one sacred Hadees in
argument. View that sacred حديث Hadees:
٢٩٢٤ – حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ
خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، أَنَّ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ العَنْسِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ –
أَنَّهُ أَتَى عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ فِي سَاحَةِ حِمْصَ
وَهُوَ فِي بِنَاءٍ لَهُ، وَمَعَهُ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ – قَالَ: عُمَيْرٌ،
فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ حَرَامٍ: أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ
عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «أَوَّلُ جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ البَحْرَ
قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا»، قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا
فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْتِ فِيهِمْ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَّلُ جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ مَدِينَةَ قَيْصَرَ مَغْفُورٌ
لَهُمْ»، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا فِيهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ»( بخارى)
Umaier Ibne Aswad Al Ansee says he came in the service of
Ubaadah Bin Saamit. He arrived at his building on the shores of Hims and
along with him was (his wife) Umme Haraam (Daughter of Mulhaan). Umaier
says Umme Haraam retold this Hadees to him that she has heard
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) saying,
“The first troop amongst my Ummat who are endorsed (Paradise
is mandatory for them) is the one who will make holy war (Jihaad) in
the Name of Allaah travelling via sea.” Umme Haraam inquired, “O, Prophet
of Allaah (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaieka Wa Sallam) am I included in
them?” The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
“You are amongst them.” Then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) said, “The first troop among my Ummat who
will attack the Caesar’s city, will be granted forgiveness.” Umme Haraam again
inquired, “Yaa Rasoolal Laah, (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaieka Wa Sallam) am
I included in them?” The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
“No”. (Bukhaari Shareef: 2924)
If you consider this statement from the tongue of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) that brings the
truth, then it will be clear that by the grace of Almighty Allaah the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) knows
everything. Almighty Allaah has not hidden anything from him. In
this statement of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) has
given good news of forgiveness but there are also three conditions:
1.
First condition: first
army
2.
Second condition: They
would journey through the sea.
3.
Third condition: They
attack the Caesar’s city.
I do not know why this Hadees is also referred
to as “ حديث قسطن
طينيه Hadees of Qustunteeniyah”. This city named after the King
Qustun (Constantine) is now known as Istanbul. It is a famous city of
Turkey whose old name was “Qustunteeniyah” (Constantinople) commonly known
“Qustuntuniyah”.
By just a little attention to this sacred Hadees present
in Bukhaari Shareef two things can be clearly perceived:
(1) The name of Qustunteeniyah is not present
in this Hadees. The meaning or interpretation of “ مدينة قيصر Madinata
Qaiesara” (Casear’s city) is not given as Qustunteeniyah in any dictionary.
(2) There is an obligation of اول جيش the
first army and if the whole Hadees is considered than there is
also a condition of the journey by sea.
Any city of the Qaiesar-e-Rome (the empire of the Caesar of
Rome) can be called “Madinata Qaiesar”. By the phrase “Caesar’s city”, it
should be taken to mean that city where on that day the Roman Caesar was
present. The day on which my beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) gave this statement. Or that city should be
considered which was the capital of Qaiesar-e-Rome, which at that time
was حمص
Hims (Emesa).
Those who are familiar with history and biographies know very
well that the first battle on the Caesar’s city occurred in the 8th Hijri.
This is called the غزوه موته Battle of Muatah and this holy war took
place in the era of the physical holy presence of the beloved Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). The first battle for the
Caesar’s city of Hims took place in the era of the Caliph of the Muslims (Ameerul
Mu’mineen) Saiyyidinaa Umar-e-Faarooq (Allaah is well pleased
with him) in 15th Hijri. The warriors of Islaam conquered
it (narrated in books with the reference of the Era of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq).
In Bukhaari Shareef the one deserving this good news should be
the first army of the Battle of Muatah or Hims. (It should be clear that
till this time Yazeed Paleed was not even born. According to Wikipedia
his birthdate was 11th Shawaal, 26th Hijri (20th July, 647) and the mother of
Yazeed Paleed, named Maiesoon, was a non-Muslim.) (Yazeedi almiyoñ kaa pas
manzar, page 18, written by Prof. Dr. Syed Muhammad Yoosuf, printed
by Nazariyah Foundation publisher, Chanyot road, Faisalabad)
If it is argued to accept the Caesar’s city as Qustunteeniyah
just so Yazeed Paleed can be included in this then it is still an undeniable
contradictory incident as Yazeed Paleed was not at all included in the first
army to attack Qustunteeniyah. And in the sacred Hadees the
good news of salvation is only for the first army. Anyone familiar with
history knows Qustunteeniyah was attacked four times before Yazeed
Paleed. The first army mobilization to attack this city was done in the
period of the Caliph of true Muslims (Ameerul Mu’mineen) Saiyyidinaa
Usmaan-e-Ghani, Zin Nooraien (Allaah is well pleased with
him) in the leadership of the Companion of the Prophet Hazrat Ameer
Mu’aaviyah (Allaah is well pleased with him) in
32nd Hijri. (Al-Bidaayah Wan Nihaayah 179/7, Taareekh-e-Tabri
304/4, Taareekh e-Kaamil Ibne Atheer 503/2)
The second time was in 43rd Hijri, the third time in
44th Hijri and the fourth time in 46th Hijri there
a battle in the Caesar’s city of Qustunteeniyah. With historical references
according to Wikipedia the conquest on Qustunteeniyah was under the leadership
of Abdul Laah Bin Artaat in 42nd Hijri, Busr bin Artaat in
43rd Hijri, Abdul Rahmaan Bin Khaalid Bin Al Waleed in 44th Hijri,
Maalik Bin Abdul Rahmaan and Abdul Rahmaan Bin Khalid in 46th Hijri,
Maalik Bin Hubaierah in 47th Hijri and Sufyaan Bin Auf in
49th Hijri.
After these historical references now see these sacred Ahaadees.
Sunan Aboo Daawood is a famous book of the sacred Hadees amongst Sahaah
Sittah (the six correct Books of Hadees). The tyrant
Al-Baani of the modern era has also accepted the authenticity of this sacred
Hadees. Aboo Imraan says, “We went for holy war (Jihaad) from
Madinah Munawwarah to Qustunteeniyah the commander of the army was Abdur
Rahmaan Bin Khalid Bin Al Waleed.” (It is stated such in this sacred
haadees). Hazrat Aboo Aiyyoob Ansaari (Allaah is well pleased
with him) who was in the troop kept fighting and was also buried in
Qustunteeniyah. (Aboo Daawood: 2152)
Also in Aboo Daawood Hadees #2687 it has been stated Hazrat Aboo
Aiyyoob Ansaari fought in the holy war under the leadership of Abdur Rahmaan
Bin Khaalid Al Waleed. This incident is of 46th Hijri.
Musannaf Ibne Abee Shaiebah (Name of Book), Hadees #27933
it is also stated that: We did holy-war on the soil of Rome and the Companion
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) Aboo
Aiyyoob Ansaari was with us. And the commander was Abdur Rahmaan Bin
Khalid Bin Al Waleed in the era of Ameer Mu’aaviyah. It is also stated in
As Sunanul Kubraa of Baiehaqee (Book) Hadees #18060
Hazrat Aboo Aiyyoob Ansaari (Allaah is well pleased with him) fought
holy-war in the leadership of Abdur Rahmaan Bin Khalid Bin Al Waleed on the
land of Rome. After the battle a person namely Ibne Asaal Nasraani mixed
poison in sweet-drink and gave to the commander of the troop Hazrat Abdur
Rahmaan Bin Khalid by which he died. (Taareekh-e-Kaamil 227/5)
The narration of Yazeed Paleed can be found in the 49th Hijri in
reference to the Battle of Qustunteeniyah. Before this he is not mentioned
anywhere in reference to any battles. It is clear from the above
mentioned reference of the sacred Ahaadees and history that
before 49th Hijri more than three times Qustunteeniyah was
attacked. And in the sacred Hadees the good news of salvation
is only for the first troop.
It is mentioned in Al-Bidaayah Wan Nihaayah that
in 49th Hijri Yazeed Bin Mu’aaviyah attacked the city of Rome
till he reached Qustunteeniyah. It is also mentioned in the same book
that in 51st Hijri Yazeed attacked Qustunteeniyah. In
the same book 52nd Hijri is also mentioned. Also in this
book in reference to 41st Hijri Hazrat Ameer Mu’aaviyah’s
attack on Rome is mentioned. This is a fact before 49th Hijri Qustunteeniyah
was attacked three to four times. And Yazeed Paleed was not present in
any of the troops.
After viewing the whole description of the Hadees written
in the sacred Bukhaari if anyone may consider by this that
attack should be considered which was done in the holy-war after the journey by
sea so the island of قبرص Qubras (Cyprus) was conquered in the
28th Hijri. Allaamah Haafiz Ibne Kaseer has mentioned the
conquest of Qubras in the 33rd Hijri. It is stated in the Taareekh
-e-Kaamil and Taareekh -e-Tabri (names of history
books) that Qubras was conquered in the 27th Hijri. It was
attended by Hazrat Ubaadah bin Saamit and his wife Umme Haraam. Umme
Haraam also passed away there. If the narration of 33rd Hijri is
considered correct than before this Qustunteeniyah was attacked three times
before 49th Hijri and the troop in which Yazeed Paleed was
present it was absolutely not the first troop.
Also view the conditions of the presence of Yazeed in the troops
to Qustunteeniyah: It is stated in the authentic Taareekh Al Kaamil Ibne
Aseer: “On the same year 49th Hijri and also stated in
50th Hijri towards the cities of Rome. Ameer Mu’aaviyah
sent a brave army towards the cities of Rome. In this Sufyaan Bin Auf was
made commander and ordered his son Yazeed to go in this war. But Yazeed kept
sitting and made excuses and deceits so Ameer Mu’aaviyah did not push the
matter. The people of the army were inflicted with severe hunger and
sickness and Yazeed said happily, “I am not concerned that these holy warriors
are afflicted by catastrophes of fever and poverty in فرقدونه
Farqadoonah (name of place). While I am sitting in the دير مران
Daier-e-Murraan (name of place) on a high place against a pillow with Umme
Kulsoom on my side.” Umme Kulsoom Bint e Abdul Laah Bin Aamir was the
wife of this Yazeed. As these verses of Yazeed reached Hazrat Ameer
Mu’aaviyah he pledged, “Now I will definitely send Yazeed to Sufyaan Bin Auf on
the land of Rome so he may also be afflicted with problems which are suffered
by the warriors.” Therefore (unwillingly) Yazeed had to go. (56/3)
If you consider this narration then it is clearly evident the
commander of this army was Sufyaan Bin Auf and if this army is considered the
first one than also Yazeed was not included in it rather he was sent to the
support of the first army and was sent by force in the second army. He
made excuses and wiles for going in the initial army and also disobeyed his
father. The exhibition of joy in the verses of Yazeed Paleed clearly marks the
condition of his nature and thinking on the problems suffered by the warriors
of Islaam and his verses are also offensive. He did not go in the second
army happily rather Ameer Mu’aaviyah made a pledge and forcefully sent him.
Holy war (Jihaad) is worshipping and what kind of worship is
this without intention and sincerity?
It is stated as well that the first army also travelled by the
sea and in the second army Yazeed Paleed only travelled by land.
The haadees of sacred Bukhaari is absolutely correct and this
is also a definite matter that the glad tiding of salvation does not
categorically include Yazeed Paleed.
Those people who are mischievous in proving Yazeed Paleed as a
“dweller of Paradise” by forcing proof even after so many arguments with these
sacred haadees apparently do not realize what the condition of
Yazeed Paleed was after attending the holy war of Qustunteeniyah with
hatred. Because it is stated in sacred Ahaadees sins are forgiven after
doing holy war for Allaah’s sake but there is no possibility of salvation to
kill any true Muslim deliberately or to become an apostate (مرتد Murtad )
after the holy war. It is stated in the true sacred Hadees that
anyone who reads Kalimah-e-Taiyyibah enters Paradise. In
several Ahaadees for some special virtues there is a
description of being forgiven (مغفور لهمMaghfoorul Lahum),
Paradise (أوجب Aujaba)
being mandatory and hell being forbidden ( حرم الله عليه النار Harramal
Laahu Alaiehin Naar) on him has been mentioned. If a person after
reading Kalimah-e-Taiyyibah becomes a denier of some absolute
matter of Islaam or denies Salaat, Zakaat, Finality of
the Prophet hood then how can he still remain worthy of the glad tiding of
Paradise and forgiveness? Not at all. The special evidence will
devoid him of Paradise and salvation.
View the Ahaadees about Yazeed Paleed: Hazrat
Aboo Huraierah (Allaah is well pleased with him) says the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “I seek
protection from the government (empowerment) of the boys (the boys who are weak
in intelligence, reasoning and religion)”.
The sacred Companions of the Prophet (Allaah is well pleased with them) inquired,
“How will that empowerment of the boys be?” The Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “If you will obey them than you will
be (in the matter of religion) destroyed and if you do not obey them than they
will kill you (in connection to world) by taking your life or your wealth or
both (life and wealth).” Hazrat Aboo Huraierah (Allaah is well
pleased with him) stated the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, ”Seek the protection of Almighty Allaah from
the year 60th Hijri and the governance of the young boys.”
Hazrat Aboo Huraierah (Allaah is well pleased with him) would
also plea (In the court of Almighty Allaah) while walking in the market. “O
Allaah, do not give me 60th Hijri and the governance of the
young boys.” (Meaning give me death before it). After quoting this Hadees in Fathul-Baari the
summary of Bukhaari Allaamah Haafiz Asqalaani writes: “There is an indication
in this Hadees that the first boy among these youngsters will
be in 60th Hijri and it did happen as so because Yazeed Bin
Mu’aaviyah came to power in 60th Hijri and remained
until 64th Hijri and then died.” Allaamah Asqalaani
writes, “The first boy among these youth is surely Yazeed like the saying of
Hazrat Aboo Huraierah, 60th Hijri being the year of the
empowerment of the boys. Further evidence to this comes because Yazeed had
mostly removed the elderly people from the governance of the big cities and had
appointed his fellow boys on high positions.” The same thing is written
in the summary of the sacred Bukhaari “Umdatul Qaari” by Hazrat Allaamah
Badrud-deen Aienee.
Hazrat Aboo Sa’eed Khudree (Allaah is well pleased with
him) says he has heard from the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam), “Those malicious will be after the 60th Hijri who will
discard Salaat and will follow their (lustful) desires, they
will soon be put in Ghaiey (a valley of Hell).”
Hazrat Aboo Zar (Allaah is well pleased with him) says,
‘I have heard the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) saying,
“The first person who will make changes in my Sunnat will be
from بنى اميه
Bani Umaiyyah.”’
Hazrat Aboo Dardaa’a (Allaah is well pleased with him) says
I have heard from the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam),
“The first person who will change my Sunnat will be from Bani
Umaiyyah, he will be called Yazeed.”
Hazrat Aboo Ubaiedah (Allaah is well pleased with him) says
the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
“The control of my Ummat (Nation) will remain with justice
until the time of that first person who will destroy it who will be from Bani
Umaiyyah and he will be called Yazeed.”
In the 60th Hijri Hazrat Ameer Mu’aaviyah
passed away and Yazeed sat on the throne. In the 61st Hijri the
incident of Karbalaa took place and with the orders of Yazeed Paleed the
respected people of the family of the Prophet were massacred hungry and
thirsty. With the brutal martyring of the grandson of the Prophet (Sallal
Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) his sacred body was trampled under the
hooves of horses. The tents of the daughters of the Prophet were
burned. Their jewellery etc. was snatched and even their chaadar (large
cloth cover used as a veil) were stripped off. And they were disrespected
by parading them around the streets and markets openly, as were the heads of
the Martyrs which were placed on top of spears and taken around the streets.
In the 63rd Hijri, Madinah Munawwarah was attacked
by the orders of Yazeed Paleed. More than seven hundred Companions of the
Prophet and their children, ten thousand elderly and small residents of Madinah
were murdered in the incident of Hurrah. By the orders of Yazeed Paleed
for three days Madinah Munawwarah was declared permissible for the army of
Yazeed. The homes of the pious women living in the neighbourhood of the
Prophet of Allaah (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) were
invaded and they were violently raped, horses were tied inside Masjid-e-Nabvi
where they urinated and defecated within the Masjid. Then with his orders
Makkah Mukarramah was attacked and Baietul-Laah was stoned,
the Cover of Ka’bah was burnt and some of the محرمات Muharramaat (some
unlawful thing were declared allowed) were considered Halaal.
It is the statement of the children of the companions of the
Prophet that witnessing the vulgarity of Yazeed we feared that stones may fall
from the sky. Those verses and saying of Yazeed Paleed are also available on
the pages of history that he had taken revenge in Karbalaa for his people who
were killed in the Battle of Badr. And also this that the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) did not get
Prophethood (Allaah may forbid). The son of Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Imaam Ahmad bin
Hańmbal (Allaah is well pleased with him) asked about Yazeed
Paleed so the Imaam replied, “Son, will there be anyone who believes in
Almighty Allaah and who will keep friendship with Yazeed? And why should
I not curse him who has been cursed by Almighty Allaah in his book?” The son
said, ‘Where in the book of Almighty Allaah (Qur’aan) (meaning
in which verse) Yazeed has been cursed?” So Imaam Hańmbal read these
Qur’aanic verses, “So if you get the authority you would spread disorder in the
land and sever your ties of relationship and these are those whom Allaah has
cursed and made them deaf to the truth and made their eyes blind.”(Chapter #
47(Muhammad) verses# 22 and #23)
Imaam Ahmad said, ‘Can there be any greater violence than the
massacre of Saiyyidinaa Husaien (the Grandson of the Prophet)?”
Sacred Ahaadees are present in Saheeh
Muslim Shareef describing the most severe wrath and curse on scaring
the people of Madinah with the intention of evil. Allaamah Muhaddis Ibne
Jauzee has compiled a whole book in condemnation and curse on Yazeed“الرد على المتعصب العنيد
المانع من ذم يزيد Al Raddu Alal Muta’assibil
Aneedil Maani’e Min Zammi Yazeed.” On the details on
this topic in Urdu, a very good book of my respected father
Reviver of the true Sunni Path, Khateeb A’zam Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee
Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him), “Imaam Paak Aur Yazeed
Paleed” can be read.
Amongst the Taabi’een (the successors of the
companions of the Prophet Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) the
Caliph of the Muslims Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Azeez (Allaah is well
pleased with him) has a high status. In front of him someone
called Yazeed Paleed “Ameerul-Mu’mineen ”. Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Azeez
was furious and ordered 20 lashes to be whipped on that person. Even
after knowing all the facts if the supporters of Yazeed Paleed are still
stubborn enough to keep calling him a “Dweller of Paradise” then they should
pray for their finale to be with Yazeed Paleed on the day of Judgment because
this sacred hadees is also present in Bukhaari that
you will be with the one for whom you possess love on the day of Judgment.
