What could be a bigger annoyance to the Prophet than getting his grandson brutally martyred and
ransacking the place which he had declared as Harram (i.e. Sacred)

1. The heinous crimes of Yazid

Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) says in his magnificent work of Tarikh under events of 63 AH

‫فقال ابن الزبير يا هؤالء قتل أصحابكم فانا هلل وإنا إليه راجعون‬

‫وقد أخطأ يزيد خطأ فاحشا فى قوله لمسلم بن عقبة أن يبيح المدينة ثالثة أيام وهذا خطأ كبير فاحش مع ما انضم إلى ذلك من قتل خلق من الصحابة وأبنائهم وقد‬
‫تقدم أنه قتل الحسين وأص حابه على يدى عبيد هللا بن زياد وقد وقع فى هذه الثالثة أيام من المفاسد العظيمة فى المدينة النبوية ماال يحد وال يوصف مما ال يعلمه‬
‫إال هللا عز وجل وقد أراد بارسال مسلم بن عقبة توطيد سلطانه وملكه ودوام أيامه من غير منازع فعاقبه هللا بنقيض قصده وحال بينه وبين ما يشتهيه فقصمه‬
‫هللا قاصم الجبابرة وأخذه أخذ عزيز مقتدر وكذلك أخذ ربك إذا أخذ القرى وهى ظالمة إن أخذه أليم شديد‬

Translation: Ibn Zubayr (Radhi Allaho Anho) said: O PEOPLE YOUR COMPANIONS HAVE BEEN KILLED –
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun

"Yazeed committed a mistake and that too a disgusting one by ordering Muslim bin Uqba to make
Madina "mubah" for three days. This was his biggest and ugliest blunder. Many Sahaba and their
children were slaughtered. As it has been mentioned before that Yazid made UbaydUllah Ibn Ziyad kill
the grandson of Rasulullah (saw) Husayn and his companions, and in those three days huge heinous
crimes happened in Madina about which nobody knows except Allah. Yazeed wanted to secure his governance
by sending Muslim bin Uqbah but Allah did against his wishes and punished him. Verily Allah killed him likewise
Allah made grip over the oppressing towns, no doubt His grip is painful and strict".[Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Vol
8 Page 283]

2. Even Ibn Ziyad got outraged by Yazid

Yazid’s crimes were so heinous that even his loyal UbaidUllah Ibn Ziyad (whom he had sent to murder Muslim
bin Aqeel and later Imam Hussain ra too) said:

‫كان يزيد كتب إلى عبد هللا بن زياد أن يسير إلى الزبير فيحاصره بمكة فأبى عليه وقال وهللا ال أجمعهما للفاسق أبدا أقتل ابن بنت رسول هللا ص وأغزو البيت‬
‫الحرام وقد كانت أمه مرجانة قالت له حين قتل الحسين ويحك ماذا صنعت وماذا ركبت وعنفته تعنيفا شديدا قالوا وقد بلغ يزيد أن ابن الزبير يقول فى خطبته‬
‫يزيد القرود شارب الخمور تارك الصلوات منعكف على القينات‬

Translation: When Yazid wrote to Ibn Ziyad that he should go to Makkah and besiege Abdullah Ibn Zubayr
(RA) he refused to do so and said: By Allah I will not combine two things for a Fasiq (i.e. Yazid). I have
already killed the son of Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam)’s daughter (on his order) and now (he asks
me to) wage war on Bayt ul Harram? However when he martyred Imam Hussain (RA) his mother Marjana
said to him: May you die! what have you done and what crime have you committed, she also scolded him
severely. Yazid was informed that Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) used to say in his speeches that Yazid was a
fraud, drunkard, one who abandons Salaat and one who stays with singing women. [Al-Bidayah Wal Nihayah,
Volume 8, Page No 279]

Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) further narrates:

‫ثم أب اح مسلم بن عقبة الذى يقول فيه السلف مسرف بن عقبة قبحه هللا من شيخ سوء ما أجهله المدينة ثالثة أيام كما أمره يزيد ال جزاه هللا خيرا وقتل خيرا خلقا‬
‫من أشرافها وقرائها وانتهب أمواال كثيرة منها ووقع شر وفساد عريض على ما ذكره غير واحد فكان ممن قتل بين يديه صبرا معقل بن سنان وقد كان صديقه‬
‫قبل ذلك ولكن أسمعه فى يزيد كالما غليظا فنقم عليه بسببه‬

Translation: And he Muslim bin Uqba who is known as As-Salf Musraf bin Uqba, May Allah not do well to this
leader of evil and ignorance, he made Madina legal for 3 days on the order of Yazid. May Allah also not
grant Jaza and khayr to him(i.e. Yazid), he got many righteous killed and also looted the amwaal in
Madina in great numbers, this has been multiply narrated that he created a lot of Shar and Fasad. It is
mentioned that Hadrat Muafl bin Sanan (RA) was tied infront (of Ibn Uqba) and then martyred, you were his
friend before but later you used strong words against Yazid due to which he became angry at you. [Al-Bidayah
Wal Nihayah, Volume 8, Page No 280]

3. Yazeed’s aggression against the leading Tabi’i called Sa'eed Ibn Musaib (rah)

‫قال المدائنى وجىء إلى مسلم بسعيد بن المسيب فقال له بايع فقال أبايع على سيرة أبى بكر وعمر فأمر بضرب عنقه فشهد رجل إنه مجنون فخلى سبيله‬

Translation: Al Mudaini (rah) said: Sa’eed Ibn Musaib (rah) was brought to Muslim (bin uqba), He asked him to
give bayah. (Sa’eed ibn Musab) said: I will give bayah on seerah of Sayyidna Abu Bakr and Sayyidna
Umar (RA). (Muslim) ordered to get him killed but a man said This person (i.e. Sa’eed ibn Musaib) is a mad
man (in order to save him), at this he was left alone. [Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Volume 8, Page No 281]

4. Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (rah)

Imam Ibn Hajr (rah) made the whole title in his book al-Imta bil al-Arb'ain as "SENDING LANAH
ON YAZID (‫")لعن يزيد‬

‫وأما المحبة فيه والرفع من شأنه فال تقع إال من مبتدع فاسد االعتقاد فإنه كان فيه من الصفات ما يقتضي سلب اإليمان عمن يحبه ألن الحب في هللا والبغض في‬
‫هللا من اإليمان وهللا المستعان‬

Translation: Loving and glorifying him (Yazid) is not done “EXCEPT BY A HERETIC” who has void belief
because he (Yazid) had such characteristics that his lover deserves to be faithless, because to love and
hate just for the sake of God is a sign of faith. [Publisher's name: Dar ul Kutb al iLmiyyah, Beirut, Lebanon,
Book name: al-Imta bil al-Arba'in al-Matbainatus Samah (‫)اإلمتاع باألربعين المتباينة السماع‬, Author: Imam Ibn Hajr al
Asqalani (rah), Publication date: 1997, Page No. 96]

‫ قال أمير‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ كنت عند عمر بن عبد العزيز فذكر رجل يزيد بن معاوية‬:‫ ثنا نوفل بن أبـي عقرب ثقة قال‬،‫قال يحيـى بن عبد الملك بن أبـي غنية أحد الثقات‬
‫ وأمر به فضرب عشرين سوطا‬،‫ تقول أمير المؤمنين يزيد‬:‫ فقال عمر‬،‫المؤمنين يزيد‬

Yahya bin Abdul Mulk bin Abi Ghania "WHO WAS AMONGST THIQA NARRATORS" he heard from Nawfl bin
Abi Aqrab "WHO IS THIQA" he narrates: Once in the gathering of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] people talked
about Yazid bin Muawiya, someone among the people mentioned Yazid with the title of Ameer ul Momineen,
hearing this Hadrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz [ra] replied (in anger): You have called Yazeed Amir Ul Mominein?
Then he gave order of 20 lashes to be given to the person [Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani in Tahdhib ut
Tahdhib, Volume No. 6, Page No. 313].

5. Imam Jalal ud din Suyuti (rah) in Tarikh ul Khulafa

He states: You (Imam Hussain - Radhi Allaho Anho) were martyred and your head was brought to Ibn Ziyad on
a plate. "May Allah's Lanah (Curse) be upon the person who killed you, also Ibn Ziyad "AND UPON
YAZID" [As-Suyuti in Tarikh ul Khulafa, Page No. 165]
Imam Jalal ud-din Suyuti (rah) writes: Nawfl bin Abi Firaat (rah) said that once he was sitting
with Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz (rah) when a man called Yazid as "Ameer ul Momineen
Yazid bin Muawiya" at this (Umar bin Abdul Aziz said in anger): you call this person as
Ameer ul Momineen?! and then he ordered that person to be "lashed 20 times" in 63 AH
Yazid got to know that people of Madina have rejected him and are preparing to wage war upon
him, knowing this Yazid sent a huge army to Madina and "declared war upon people of
Madina" after looting in Madina he sent the army to martyr Hadrat Abdullah bin Zubayr (ra) in
Makkah and so the incident of "HURRA" took place, do you know what Hurra is? regarding it
Hassan (a Tabi'i) said: When Madina was attacked, there remained not a single person who was
safe from it, "huge amount of Sahaba and others were martyred and Madina was looted
and thousands of virgin girls were raped" Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun... The Prophet
(Peace be upon him) said: Whosoever frightens People of Madina then Allah will frighten them
(the attackers) plus Curse (Lanah) of Allah, his Angels and all the people is upon such a person
(Sahih Muslim) the reason why people of Madina did not give bayah to Yazid was because he was
indulged in “too many sins” al-Waqidi narrates from Abdullah Bin Khazlatal Ghusail (a Sahabi)
that he said: By Allah we did not revolt against Yazid until we were sure that “WE WILL BE
SHOWERED WITH STONES FROM SKY” (the Yazidans) started to do Nikah with their mothers,
sisters and daughters, they started to drink openly and neglected prayers! Imam Dhahabi (rah)
said: When Yazid did such things with people of Madina although “ he was indulged in
drinking and other evil deeds even before” then the people of Makkah also revolted against
him and rose against him from 4 sides and then Allah did not put Barakah in life of Yazid (Then it
mentions that Yazid attacked Makkah and got the Abdullah Ibn Zubayr Martyred)

‫‪6. Allama Aloosi (Rahimuhullah) writes under 47:22-23 in his magnificent Ruh ul‬‬
‫‪Ma’ani‬‬

‫واستدل بها أيضاً على جواز لعن يزيد عليه من هللا تعالى ما يستحق ‪.‬نقل البرزنجي في «اإلشاعة» والهيتمي في «الصواعق» أن اإلمام أحمد لما سأله‬
‫ولده عبد هللا عن لعن يزيد قال كيف ال يلعن من لعنه هللا تعالى في كتابه؟ فقال عبد هللا قد قرأت كتاب هللا عز وجل فلم أجد فيه لعن يزيد فقال اإلمام إن‬
‫هللا تعالى يقول‬:
ًَُّ ‫طعُواً أَر َحا َم ُكمً *أَولَـئِكًَ ٱلَّذِينًَ لَعَنَ ُه ًُم‬
{ ‫ٱَلل‬ ّ َ‫ض َوتُق‬
ً ِ ‫سيتُمً إِن ت ََولَّيتُمً أَن تُف ِسدُواً فِي ٱألَر‬ َ ً‫} فَ َهل‬
َ ‫ع‬
‫ ]اآلية وأي فساد وقطيعة أشد مما فعله يزيد؟‬22: ‫[محمد‬

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 al-Haythami (rah) in As-Sawaiq from
Imam Ahmed (rah) that his son Abdullah asked him about sending Lanah on Yazid, (Imam
Ahmed) said: Why cannot Lanah be sent on him when Allah has sent Lanah on him in
Quran, Abdullah (rah) asked: Recite the Kitab of Allah so that I know how Lanah is sent on
Yazid? Imam Ahmed (rah) 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) Hence what could be a bigger Strife than what Yazid
did?[ [Ruh ul Ma’ani by Imam Al-Alusi, Volume 9 Under Surah Muhammad 22-23]

2) Allama Alusi said: And I say what is prevalent over my mind that (Yazid) Khabith did not
testify to the messengership of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). According to
me it is correct to curse a person like Yazid, although one cannot imagine a Fasiq like
him and apparently he never repented, the possibility of his repentance is weaker than
the possibility of his faith (Iman). Along with Yazid, Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Sa'ad and his group shall
also be included. Verily, may Allah's curse be upon all of them, their friends, their supporters,
their group and upon everyone who inclines towards them until Qayamah and until an eye sheds
a tear for Abu Abdullah Hussain (ra). [Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani, Volume 26, Page No. 73]
7. Imam Dhahabi (rah) writes about Yazid

‫وكان ناصبيا فظا غليظا جلفا يتناول المسكر ويفعل المنكر افتتح دولته بمقتل الشهيد الحسين واختتمها بواقعة الحرة فمقته الناس ولم يبارك في عمره‬
‫وخرج عليه غير واحد بعد الحسين كأهل المدينة قاموا هلل‬

Translation: He (Yazid) was a disgusting Nasibi (i.e. those who hate Ahlul bayt). He
drank and did evil. He started his kingdom with the killing of the Shahid al-Hussain (RA) and
ended it with the incident of al-Harra (i.e. besiegement of Madina which also makes him directly
liable for Lanah as sahih ahadith prove). Hence the people hated him, he was not blessed in his
life, and many took up arms against him after Imam Hussain (RA) such as the people of Madina -
they rose for the sake of Allah[Siyar A'lam an Nubala, Volume No. 4, Page No. 37-38]

2) Imam Dhahabi (rah) writes: I say: 'When Yazid did to the people of Madina what he did and
killed al-Hussain and his brothers and progeny, and Yazid drank alcohol, and performed
abominable things, then the people hated him and rose up against him more than once. God
didn't bless his life and Abu Bilal Mirdas bin Adya al-Hanzali rose against him.' [Tarikh al-Islam:
wa-tabaqat al-mashahir wa-al-a`lam, Volume 005, Page No. 30]
3) Imam Dhahabi Writes: Ziyad Haarthi narrated: 'Yazid gave me alcohol to drink, I had never
drunk alcohol like that before and I enquired where he had obtained its ingredients from'. Yazid
replied: 'it is made of sweet pomegranate, Isfahan's honey, Hawaz's sugar, Taif's grapes and
Burdah's water'. Ahmed bin Masama' narrated: 'Once Yazid drank alcohol and started to dance,
suddenly he fell down and his nostril began to bleed'. [Siyar A'lam an Nubalah, Volume 004,
Page No. 037]
8. Qadhi ThanaUllah Panipati (rah) on Yazid

Another great Mufasir and author of great books, a scholar accepted by all Sunni Muslims i.e.
Qadhi Thana Ullah Panipatti (rah) quoted Quranic ayah 14:28 and writes:

Quran states: Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for
thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss (14:28)

Tafsir: Bani Ummaiya had always rejoiced upon Kufr, however Abu Sufyan, Ameer Mu’awiya
(RA) and Umaro bin Aas(RA) and others became Muslims. Later Yazid and his companions
rejected the blessings of Allah and rose the flag of enmity towards Ahlul Bayt and
finally brutally martyred Imam Hussain (RA) to the extent that Yazid even denied the
Deen of Muhammad (salallaho alaihi wasalam). He after martyrdom of Imam Hussain(RA)
said: Had my predecessors lived they would have seen how I took revenge from the family of
Prophet (saw) and Bani Hashim, The couplet which Yazid made had this in the end: I will
avenge Ahmed (i.e. Prophet Salallaho alaihi wasalam) for whatever he did with my
predecessors in Badr (Naudhobillah). Yazid even declared alcohol as permissible and in
praise of it he said: If liquor is Haram in the Deen of Muhammad (salallaho alaihi wasalam) then
take it to be permissible according to the deen of Isa Ibn Marym (a.s). [Tafsir al Mazhari Volume
5, Pages 211-212]

9. Ibn Kathir's comments on Yazeed

Ibn Kathir himself writes in al Bidayah Volume 8 page 1169 "Dhikr Yazeed bin Muawiyah":

"Traditions inform us that Yazeed loved worldly vices, would drink, listen to music, kept the
company of boys with no facial hair [civil expression for paedophilia with boys, a form
of homosexuality], played drums, kept dogs [civil expression for bestiality], making
frogs, bears and monkeys fight. Every morning he used be intoxicated and use to bind
monkey with the saddle of a horse and make the horse run".

Reference:Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Vol 8 Page 1169

10. Ibn Atheer's comments on Yazeed

In Tareekh al Kamil Volume 3 page 450 Ibn Atheer narrates from Munzir bin Zabeer:

"Verily Yazeed rewarded me with 100,000 dirhams but this cannot stop me from highlighting his
state, By Allah he is a drunkard"

11. Ibn Jauzi's comments on Yazeed 'the drunkard'

Ibn Jauzi in Wafa al-Wafa:

"Yazeed appointed his cousin Uthman bin Muhammad bin Abu Sufyan as Governor of Madina. He
sent a delegation to visit Yazeed who bore gifts so that they might take the oath of allegiance to
him. Upon their return they said 'We have returned having visited a man who has no religion,
he drinks, plays instruments, keeps the company of singers and dogs [civil word for
bestiality], we declare that we have broken our allegiance to him. Abdullah bin Abi Umro bin
Hafs Mukhzumee commented 'Yazeed gave me gifts. But the reality is this man is an enemy of
Allah (swt) and a drunkard. I shall separate myself from him in the same way that I remove my
turban [from my head]."

12. Puncturing the devil's dream on Hadith of Qustuntunia

.."He heard the Prophet saying, 'Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who
will undertake a naval expedition.' The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst my
followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.'" (Sahih Bukhari
volume 4 hadith 175)
Firstly Yazid was not in the first army to wage war on ceaser's city as

Sahih hadith in Sunnan Abu Dawud states

‫غزونا من المدينة نريد القسطنطينية وعلى الجماعة عبد الرحمن بن خالد بن الوليد‬: ‫عن أسلم أبي عمران قال‬

Translation: Aslam Abi Imran (ra) said: We went out on an expedition from Madina with the
intent to attack Constantinople. Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid was the leader of our
group. [Sunnan Abu Dawud, Volume No. 2 Hadith # 2512, Albani declared it Sahih in his
Takhrij]

Imam At-Tabri says in his Tarikh

‫فمما كان فيها من ذلك دخول المسلمين مع عبد الرحمن بن خالد بن الوليد بالد الروم ومشتاهم بها وغزو‬

Translation: In (44 AH) The Muslims with Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid entered
Rome and the Ghazwa took place [Tarikh at-Tabri under events of 44 AH, Volume 005, Page
No. 212: Published by Cairo: Dar al-Ma'arif] Click here for Scanned Page (83)

Whereas Yazid went way later i.e. in 49 or 50 AH. Even later yazid was sent as a punishement
and he mocked at Muslims warriors who had gone before
Imam Ibn Al-Atheer (rah) writes:

‫ وأ َ َم ًَر ابنه يزيد بالغزاة معهم فتثاقل‬، ‫ وجعل عليهم سفيان بن عوف‬، ‫ سنة خمسين سير معاوية جيشا كثيفا إلى بالد الروم للغزاة‬: ‫في هذه السنة وقيل‬
: ‫ فأنشأ يزيد يقول‬، ‫جوع ومرض شديد‬ ً ‫ فأصاب الناس في غزاتهم‬، ‫ل فأمسك عنه أبوه‬ ًّ ‫واعت‬

‫ما إن أبالي بما القت جموعهم ***بالفرقدونة من حمى ومن موم‬

ًِ
‫كلثوم‬ ‫إذا اتكأت على األنماط مرتفقا ***بدير مروان عندي أم‬

‫ فسار ومعه جمع كثير أضافهم إليه أبوه‬،‫ ليصيبه ما أصاب الناس‬،‫ فأقسم عليه ليلحقنًّ بسفيان في أرض الروم‬،‫فبلغ معاوية شعره‬

Translation: In this year i.e. 49 AH or 50 AH, Muawiya (ra) sent a huge army towards
Rome. He made Sufyan bin Awf (ra) as its commander and he ordered his son Yazid to go
with them, however Yazid “ACTED TO HAVE BECOME SICK AND DENIED TO GO” When the
warriors were struck with harsh hunger and diseases, Yazid (mockingly) said this poetry:

At Farqudwana immense wrath covered them, whether they had fever or whatever I don’t care
because I am sitting on a high carpet and Umm ul Kulthum (one of his wives) is between my
armpits.

When Ameer Muawiya (ra) heard these phrases he made Yazid to take an oath and join Sufyan
bin Awf in Rome so that “HE COULD ALSO BE STRUCK BY THESE SAME DIFFICULTIES AS
THE WARRIORS OF ISLAM HAD FACED (THIS WAS PUNISHEMENT TO YAZID)” Yazid
became helpless and he had to go and Ameer Muawiya (ra) sent another army with him [Tarikh
Ibn al Atheer, Volume No.3, Page No. 131]

Imam Badr ud-din Ayni (rah) said:

‫ ألنه لم يكن أهالً أن يكون هؤالء السادات في خدمته‬،‫األظهر أن هؤالء السادات من الصحابة كانوا مع سفيان هذا ولم يكونوا مع يزيد بن معاوية‬: ‫قلت‬

Translation: I say that it is obvious that the great amount of sahaba went under the leadership
of Sufyan bin Awf (ra) and “NOT WITH YAZID BIN MUAWIYA BECAUSE HE WAS NOT
DESERVING OF LEADING THEM” [Umdat ul Qari, Sharh Sahih ul Bukhari 14/197-198]

Summary details about the armed expeditions:

► First attack on Caesar's city was in 42 hijri. Second attack was in 43 and "Hazrat Bosr ben ABI
Arka was the leader of this army.

► Third attack was in 44 and this was led by Abdurehman ben Khalid ben Waleed. The next
attack was in 46 hijri which was led by Maalik ben Abdurehman and Abdurehman ben Khalid ben
Waleed.

► In 47, next attack was led by Maalik ben Hobaira and Abdurehman ben Qaiymi. In 49 hijri the
rome was attacked for 3 times. andLastly yazid was in attack of 50 hijri.

Hazrat Amir Mawiya (RA) arrested Yazeed and sent him to ceasar because Yazeed was used to
make fun of Mujahideen and as a punishment Yazeed was sent there not for Jihad

So Yazeed was in the seven'th attack, not in the first attack and in Bukhari Shareef it is
mentioned that 'The first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be
forgiven their sins.'

"Allamah Alusi stated, Yazeed the impure denied the Prophethood of Rasulullah (s). The
treatment that he meted out to the people of Makka, Medina and the family of the Prophet
proves that he was a kaafir".

Once in the gathering of Amir Ul Mominein Hazrat Ummar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] people talked
about yazeed, someone among the people said ( Amir Ul Mominein to Yazeed ) Hazrat Ummar
Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] replied in anger,'' you call Yazeed ( Bad Character Person ) as Amir Ul
Mominein?. Than Hazrat Ummar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] gave order of 20 lashes to the
person who called Yazeed Amir Ul Mominein [ Tahdheeb Al'Tahdheeb Vol 1 Page 361]

15. 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) that 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]
