Hadith 21

d Bin Abu Sayf Al Madainy in the book ‘Al Ahdaas’, said, ‘Muawiya wrote one copy to his office bearers after year of the unity, ‘I am not responsible from the one who reports something from the merits of Abu Turab-asws (Ali-asws) and his-asws family members’. (As a result) the preachers stood upon in every town/village, upon every pulpit cursing Ali-asws and disavowing from him dropping him-asws and his-asws family members’. And he continued the Hadeeth approximate to what has passed up to, (and) he said, ‘The matter did not cease to be like that until Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws passed away. The afflictions and the Fitna increased, and there did not remain anyone from this tribe except he was fearful upon his blood, or was expelled in the land. The matter became aggravated after the killing of Al-Husayn-asws, and Abdul Malik Bin Marwan became ruler. The matter became severe upon the Shias, and Al-Hajjaj Bin Yusuf became ruler upon them. There drew closer to him, the people of rituals (ascetics) and the righteousness and the religion, by the hatred towards Ali-asws and friends of his-asws enemies, and friends of the ones from the people who claimed that they as well are his-asws enemies. They frequented in the reported regarding their (Abu Bakr, and Umar, and Usman) merits, and their precedence, and frequented from the reducing from Ali-asws, and faulting him-asws, and the accusations regarding him-asws, and being adversarial to him-asws, to the extent that a person stood up to Al-Hajjaj, and it is said he was the grandfather of Al-Asmaie Abdul Malik Bin Qareeb. He shouted, ‘O you commander! My family punished me and named me as ‘Ali’, and I am poor, destitute, and I am need to the help of the commander’. Al-Hajjaj laughed at him and said, ‘For the kindness is what you are begging with. I have made you a governor of such and such place’’. [54]
(The book) ‘Al Amdah’, from the gathering between ‘Al Sihah Al Sitta’ – Al Abdy from Saheeh al Nasaie, by his chain from Zayd Bin Wahab who said, ‘I Passed by Abu Zarr-ra at Al-Rabza. I said, ‘What made you descend in this land? ’ He-ra said, ‘We were at Syria, and I-ra recited: and those who are hoarding the gold and the silver and are not spending it in the Way of Allah, announce to them a painful Punishment [9: 34] – the Verse. Muawiya said, ‘This is not regarding us. This is not, except regarding people of the Book (Jews and Christians)’. I-ra said, ‘It is regarding us (Muslims) and them’. This was the talk between me-ra and them. He conveyed that to Usman and he wrote, ‘(Send him-ra) to me if you like to be rid of him-ra’. So, that is which made me descend over here’’. [55]
And from (the book) ‘Jam’a Bayn Al Sahiheyn’ of Al Humeydi, from extraction of Muslim, by his chain from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘I was playing with the children and Rasool-Allah-saww came. I hid behind a door and moved me aside with a move, and said: ‘Go and call Muawiya to me-saww’. I came (back) and said, ‘He is eating’. Then he-saww said: ‘Go and call Muawiya to me-saww’. I came (back) and said, ‘He is eating’. He-saww said: ‘May Allah-azwj not Satiate his belly’’. [56]
