Darul Uloom Deoband’s fatwa in support of Hazrat Yazid – by Abdur Rahim Kandhalvi

if IMAM HUSSAIN was fighting for KHILAFAT why did’nt he gathered an ARMY & why took femailes of his family with him?
those who fight for POWER & RULE always wait for the right time to vage a war

Here are some of the misadventures of his Army that are mentioned in ther own Handbook i.e Fazail e Aamal.These are sufficient to not call him as Radiyallahu Anhu or Ameer Ul Momineen:
———————————————————————————-

In the year 64 Hijri the forces of Yazid attacked Mecca against Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair R.A. Fire was rained down on Mecca from the outside with catapults with the result that Ka’ba covering cloth was burnt and the walls were damaged.

[Book on Fazail e Hajj,Page 33,Fazail e Aamal by Moulvi zakariya]

In the well-known battle of Harrah in the year 63 A.H. between the forces of Yazid and the people of Madina, the people of Madina were so filled with fear that many of them fled and dispersed. Some remained in their homes, while the horses of Yazid ‘s armies roamed around in the Masjid. It was such a battle wherein 1700 strong Muhaajereen and Ansaar were killed and more than 10,000 civilians lost their lives apart from women and children (see Wafaa)
During that period Hazrat Ibn Musayyib R.A. found himself completely alone in the Masjid at times. He says: “For days on end no one else entered the Masjid for all that time; I heard the Azaan and the Iqaamat from the grave of Rasulullah Sal’am. (Khasa’is kubra)

Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafiyee and Imam Malik deemed it permissible to curse Yazeed

Prominent Shafiyee scholar Shaykh Sulaiman bin Muhammad bin Umar al-Bejarmi (d. 1221 H) records:

أن للإمام أحمد قولا بلعن يزيد تلويحا وتصريحا وكذا للإمام مالك…… وكذا لأبي حنيفة ولنا قول بذلك في مذهب إمامنا الشافعي وكان يقول بذلك الأستاذ البكري .ومن كلام بعض أتباعه في حق يزيد ما لفظه زاده الله خزيا ومنعه وفي أسفل سجين وضعه

“Imam Ahmad has statements about cursing Yazeed both Talweeh (directly) and Tasreeh (indirectly) and so has Imam Malik and Abu Hanifa and we have similar statements in the madhab of our Imam Shafiyee and al-Bakri also said the same. Some of his (al-Bakri’s) followers said about Yazeed ‘may Allah increase his disgrace and put him in the lowest level of hell’”

Hashyat al-Bejarmi, Volume 12 page 369

Shaykh Kamaluddin Muhammad bin Musa Damiri in his famed work Hayaat ul Haywaan, Volume 2 page 175 records:

إن لكل واحد من أبي حنيفة ومالك وأحمد في لعن يزيد قولين ، تصريح وتلويح

“Abu Hanifa, Malik and Ahmad have two statements about cursing Yazeed, Tasreeh (i.e. to curse him by taking his name) and another one is with Talweeh (i.e. to curse without taking his name and only by using hint e.g. May Allah curse the killers of Imam Hussain)

Fatwa of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal (rah) regarding Yazid:

نقل البرزنجي في «الإشاعة» والهيتمي في «الصواعق» أن الإمام أحمد لما سأله ولده عبد الله عن لعن يزيد قال كيف لا يلعن من لعنه الله تعالى في كتابه؟ فقال عبد الله قد قرأت كتاب الله عز وجل فلم أ……جد فيه لعن يزيد فقال الإمام إن الله تعالى يقول { فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُواْ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ وَتُقَطّعُواْ أَرْحَامَكُمْ * أَوْلَـئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ } الآية وأي فساد وقطيعة أشد مما فعله يزيد؟ انتهى

Translation: reported by al-Barzanji in [al-Isha] and al-Haythami narrates in [al-Sawaiq] that Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal’s (rah) son Abdullah narrated that he said to his father that he had seen people saying that they love Yazid. To this Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal (rah) said “For a person having belief in Allah there was no reason to love Yazid”. Why should the person not be cursed who has been cursed by Allah in the Quran. To this Abdullah asked that where in the Quran had Allah cursed Yazid?. Imam Ahmed replied quoting the verse: “So, (O hypocrites,) what is expected of you is that if you (escape fighting by dodging and) attain to power, you will spread only mischief in the land and break your ties of kinship (which Allah and His Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] have commanded to strengthen with affection and care). It is they whom Allah has cursed.” [Alusi, Ruh al-Ma'ani, Volume 026, Page No. 227 - (47:22-23)]

Qadhi Thanaullah Panipati deemed it permissible to curse the kaafir Yazeed

We read in Tafseer Mazhari Volume 5 page 21, under the commentary of Surah Ibrahim verse 28 as follows:

“The Banu Umayya were initially kaafir, then some of them prese……nted themselves as Muslim. Yazeed then became a kaafir. The Banu Umayya maintained their enmity towards the family of the Prophet (sawas), and killed Husayn in a cruel manner. The kaafir Yazeed committed kufr in relation to the Deen of Muhammad (sawas) proven by the fact that at the time of the killing of Husayn he made a pointed reference to avenging the deaths of his kaafir ancestors slain in Badr. He acted against the family of Muhammad (sawas), Banu Hashim and in his drunken state he praised the Banu Umayya and cursed the Banu Hashim from the pulpit”.

Yazeed’s attack on Harra

We read in ‘au khanar al masalik’ that Shaykh al hadith Muhammad Zakaria stated:

“The army that Yazeed had sent to Madinah comprised of 60,000 horsemen and 15,000 foot soldiers. For three days they shed blood freely, ……1000 women were raped and 700 named Quraysh and Ansar were killed. Ten thousand women and children were made slaves. Muslim bin Uqba forced people to give bayya to Yazeed in such a manner that people were enslaved and Yazeed could sell them as he pleased, no

Sahaba who were [with the Prophet (saws)] at Hudaibiya were spared”.

Ibn Katheer in al Bidayah Volume 8 page 222 stated:

“Muslim was ordered to ransack Medina for three days. Yazeed committed a major sin. Sahaba and their children were slaughtered openly; other heinous acts were also perpetuated. We have already mentioned that he had Ibn Ziyad kill the grandson of Rasulullah (s) Husayn and his companions. In those three days in Madinah, it is difficult to mention the type of acts that were carried out. By doing this act Yazeed wanted to secure his governance, in the same way Allah (swt) broke the neck of every Pharoah, the true King (swt) also broke the neck of Yazeed”.

@

One who attacks Madinah is cursed

We read in al Bidaya Volume 8 page 223

“Rasulullah (s) said whoever perpetuated injustice and frightened the residents of Medina, the curse (la’nat) of Allah (swt), His Angels and all people is on such a person”

The Proof of Sending Curses(Lanat) on Yazid!

Translation:The Proof of sending Lanah upon Yazid is derived from this (ayah), as was mentioned by Al-Barzanji (rah) in his Al-Ashaat and Imam Haythami (rah) in As-Sawaiq from Imam Ahmed (rah) tha……t his son Abdullah asked him about sending Lanah on Yazid, and how sending Lanah upon him is mentioned in the book of Allah (i.e. Quran). Imam Ahmed (rah) in proof of (sending Lanah upon Yazid) mentioned these verses:Would ye then, if ye were given the command, work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship? Such are the men whom Allah has cursed…(47:22-23), So could there be a greater fitnah than the actions committed by Yazid? [Ruh ul Ma’ani by Imam Al-Alusi, Volume 9 Under Surah Muhammad 22-23]

مسئلہ.. یہ کہ یزید کی نسبت لفظ یزید پلید کالکھنا یا کہنا ازروئے شرع شریف جائز ہے یا نہیں؟ یزید کی نسبت رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کہنا درست ہے یانہیں؟ فقط

Due to his hatred of Allah (swt) Yazeed openly drank alcohol. In his deeds he followed the Seerah of Pharoah, but Pharoah was more just to his own subjects.”

,

Wafyat al-Ayan Volume 3 page 287 Also known as Tarikh Ibn Khalkan testimony of the…… great Sunni scholar Ibn Khalkan:

,

وهو اللاعب بالنرد والمتصيد بالفهود ومدمن الخمر، وشعره في الخمر معلوم

,

“Yazeed would hunt with cheetas play chess and drink alcohol and had famous poems about alcohol”.

testimony of Hassan al-Basri in Tarikh Abul Fida, Volume 1 page 288:

,

يزيد وكان سكيراً خميراً يلبس الحرير ويضرب بالطنابير

,

“Yazeed drank alcohol, wore silk and played the tambourine”.
