Yazeed's killing of Imam Hussain[as]

Azam Tariq Nasibi stated:

Kr-hcy.com states:"IT WOULD BE SEEN THERE FROM THAT YAZID HAD NO HANDS IN THE MURDER OF HAZRAT HUSAYN. MOST OF THE HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN BY SHIAS AND AS SUCH HEAP ALL SORTS OF RUBBISH ON YAZID OUT OF SHEER CONTEMPT AND HATRED AND DEPICT HIM IN ALARMING COLOUR WHICH IS FAR FROM TRUTH AND REALITY. STILL SOME OF THE IGNORANT MUSLIMS ACCUSE HIM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHIAS. THE FACT IS THAT WHEN THE NEWS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN'S MARTYRDOM REACHED YAZID, HE AND HIS FAMILY WEPT. YAZID EVEN SAID: "CURSE OF ALLAH BE ON UBAIDULLAH BIN ZIAD. BY ALLAH! IF HE HAD BEEN A RELATIVE OF HAZRAT HUSAYN HE WOULD HAVE NEVER KILLED HIM. I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE SUBMISSION OF IRAQIS WITHOUT THE KILLING OF HAZRAT HUSAYN."

We read in Irfan ai Shariath:

"Yazeed tore away a piece of Rasulullah's heart, starving him for three days and then killing him, together with his companions and then he ordered horses to trample his body after his martyrdom, his body was ripped to shreds. Hi head was then placed on a spear, this was a head that Rasulullah (s) would kiss. The head was exhibited at various places, people of the household were arrested and brought before the wicked Yazeed, cursed is he who does not deem such acts as atrocious".

Are all these men, together with the authorities cited at the start including the Grand Sheikh of the Wahabis Ibn Taymiyya, and his successor Ibn Kathir, all SHIAS or influenced by SHIAS??

It's like saying the Pope is Jewish.

I mean what can you say to a man who lies like Azam Tariq (and he is the HEAD of the Wahabis in Pakistan, and they all speak these exported Saudi lies].

Interviewer: Mr. Tariq ... [interruption]

Azam Tariq: No, my name is Mr. Abdul

Interviewer: Mr. Abdul....[interruption]

Azam Tariq: No, my name is Mr. Saleem

Interviewer: Mr. Saleem...[interruption]

Azam Tariq: No, my name is Mr. Mustafa

.....and on it goes.

There must be a medical syndrome for this behaviour....oh yes, it's called pathological liar [also known as Nasibi Syndrome]. Maybe your local Sheikh has symptoms of it.

Yazeed ordered his Governor Waleed kill Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Maqathil Husayn:

"Yazeed wrote a letter to Waleed the Governor of Medina, in which he stated 'Force Husayn to give bayya. Should he refuse then strike off his head and return it to me.'

Yazeed wrote to Ibn Ziyad telling him to kill Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Mutaalib al Saul that:

"Ibn Ziyad wrote to Husayn 'I have received information that you have arrived in Kerbala, and Yazeed has told me not to kill you, provided you accept his authority and mine.'"

Ibn Ziyad's own admission that he killed Imam Husayn on the orders of Yazeed

We read in al Bidayah:

"When Yazeed wrote to Ibn Ziyad ordering him to fight Ibn Zubayr in Makka, he said 'I can't obey this fasiq. I killed the grandson of Rasulullah (s) upon his orders, I'm not now going to assault the Kaaba'.

Interesting also to note the fact that Azam Tariq says that Yazeed blamed Ibn Ziyad (his governor in Kufa at the time of the Battle of Karbala) for the killing of Husayn (as). Yet we see here the fact that Ibn Ziyad twp years AFTER Karbala is still in a position of authority in Yazeed's government and army. Had Yazeed sincerely wept for Husayn (as) (he did not and Azam Tariq is quoting the story out of context - see imminently later) then he would have dismissed and executed Ibn Ziyad for genocide. Indeed Yazeed kept Ibn Ziyad in a position of authority in Yazeed's government, and indeed Ibn Ziyad outlived Yazeed, till Shia rebels killed him during the insurrection of Al Mukhtar to avenge the blood of Imam Husayn (as).

Testimony of Ibn Abbas that Yazeed killed Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Tareekh Kamil:

Ibn Abbas replied to a letter of Yazeed stating 'You killed Husayn ibn 'Ali as well as the youth from Banu Abdul Muttalib, who were beacons of guidance."

The testimony of Abdullah Ibn Umar that Yazeed killed Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Maqathil al Husayn:

Ibn Umar wrote to Yazeed, 'Hasn't your heart gone black yet? You murdered the family of the Prophet?'

The Nasibis want to drag the Muslims to hell to face the charge of taking to their heart the man who hurt Muhammad (saws)'s soul more than any other.

Mu'awiya The Second's testimony that his father Yazeed killed Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Hayaath al Haywaan:

"When Yazeed was succeeded to the throne by his son Mu'awiya he said in his first sermon 'We are definite about Yazeed's wrongdoing, he killed the family of the Prophet, deemed alcohol halal, and brought pain to the Ka'aba."

This was the testimony of the succeeding khalifa, and Yazeed's own son, Mu'awiya The Second.

Yazeed's own admission that he killed the family of the Prophet (s)

We read in Sharh Fiqh Akbar:

"Following the murder of Husayn, Yazeed said 'I avenged the killing of my kaafir relatives in Badr through killing the family of the Prophet".

The testimony of Shah Abdul Aziz that Yazeed killed Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Taufa

"Upon the orders of Yazeed the disgraceful people from Syria and Iraq killed Imam Husayn".

The testimony of Shah Abdul Haqq that Yazeed killed Imam Hussain[as]

We read in Ashiath al Lamaath:

"It is unusual that some say Yazeed did not kill Husayn when he instructed Ibn Ziyad to carry out the killing".

Yazeed's pride at killing Imam Hussain[as]

We read in al Bidayah Volume 8 page 204:

"Ibn Asakir, writing on Yazeed, states then when Husayn's head was brought before Yazeed, he recited the couplets of Ibn Zubayri the kaafir 'I wish my ancestors of Badr were hear to see the severed head of the rebellious tribe [The Prophet (saws's tribe of Hashim]."

Did Yazeed express sadness at the death of Imam Hussain[as]?

Nasibi Azam Tariq's lies continue as follows:

Kr-hcy.com states:THE FACT IS THAT WHEN THE NEWS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN'S MARTYRDOM REACHED YAZID, HE AND HIS FAMILY WEPT. YAZID EVEN SAID: "CURSE OF ALLAH BE ON UBAIDULLAH BIN ZIAD. BY ALLAH! IF HE HAD BEEN A RELATIVE OF HAZRAT HUSAYN HE WOULD HAVE NEVER KILLED HIM. I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE SUBMISSION OF IRAQIS WITHOUT THE KILLING OF HAZRAT HUSAYN." THEN HE ACCORDED A VERY GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY TO THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN AND ARRANGED THEIR RETURN JOURNEY TO MADINAH WITH GREAT HONOUR AND RESPECT.

Reply One

We can establish from the texts of Ahl'ul Sunnah that not only was Yazeed content with the death of Imam Husayn (as) he recited a couplet that he had avenged the deaths of his kaafir ancestors, by the killing of Imam Husayn (as) - can this poetry be deemed to be a couplet of regret?

Reply Two

Tariq's reference that we presume is a crude translation of the text in al Bidaya wa al Nihaya, we suggest that he cite all that Ibn Katheer had written in that section so that the truth can be made known to all.

We are quoting from al Bidaya wa al Nihaya Volume 8 page 235:

"When Ibn Ziyad killed Husayn and his companions and sent their heads to Yazeed, he [Yazeed] became happy at the death of Husayn which is why the position of Ibn Ziyad was elevated, but this happiness was only short lived".

This text confirms that Yazeed was pleased that Imam Husayn (as) had been killed and the rank of his killer Ibn Ziyad had automatically increased in Yazeed's estimation. The happiness being short-lived means that rebellions arose to avenge Husayn (as)'s martyrdom that threatened to destroy Yazeed's khilafat - Madina, Makka and Iraq all rose up against him, which is why he sent his army in to burn the Ka'aba and sack Madina. Nasibis are not horrified, you see, by these actions by their khalifa. This is as they have no sense of anything being sacred save the remembrance of the Santas. They even reproach other Sunnis for saying peace to the Prophet (saws).

The next portion is the part that Nasibis such as Azam Tariq and Bilal Philips are most fond of citing (they tactically forget the above paragraph). We are quoting from al Bidayah wa al Nihaya Volume 8 page 235:

"the situation reached a point of embarrassment for Yazeed and he said 'Curse be upon Ibn Murjan [Ibn Ziyad] he pained Husayn, made him desperate. Husayn had asked to be allowed to roam freely wherever to see me, or go to the frontier - but Ibn Ziyad rejected this. He [Ibn Ziyad] killed him and has now due to this Muslim shall bear enmity towards me, now every person, good and bad shall bear hatred in their hearts towards me, people shall be shocked at my killing Husayn. I have nothing to do with Murjan's son? May Allah (swt) destroy him and reap destruction upon him'."

Carefully analyse the final comments of Yazeed in this regard:

"now every person, good and bad shall bear hatred in their hearts towards me, people shall be shocked at my killing Husayn."

These words clearly prove that the killing of Imam Husayn (as) was upon the orders of Yazeed, and t his act of cursing Ibn Ziyad was in effect a tactical method to cover up his own culpability. These were crocodile tears shed to display false grief as the Ummah now wanted revenge and were blaming Yazeed. Indeed, the Islamic heartlands of Makka, Madina and Kufa were now in open armed rebellion and Yazeed had lost control there.

Ibn Katheer further commented as follows:

"Verily Yazeed cursed Ibn Ziyad for his actions and spoke ill of him, since the truth had dawned on him, that when the matter came out what would happen to him? But, neither did Yazeed punish Ibn Ziyad for his filthy act, nor did he say anything to him after, neither did he tell people to learn from this lesson, via retelling and condemning the episode".

al Bidaya wa al Nihaya Volume 8 page 204

If the argument is Yazeed didn't physically kill Imam Husayn (as) then these Nasibi should know that Pharaoh is deemed the killer of the Israelites even though he only issued the order for boys to be executed though he didn't use the sword himself. Irshad al Sari Volume 10 page 171 Bab ul Fitan states clearly that Yazeed was happy at killing Imam Husayn (as) and his disrespect of the family of Rasulullah (s) is a proven fact.

Let us see the comments of the President of Shari'a Majid 'Ali in Bhar Shariath:

'Those who in this day and age state 'who are we to comment on Yazeed and Husayn and that they were both Princes' are cursed, Hell bound individuals.'
