or three times; then they will fight, and they will be granted what they asked for, yet they will not accept it until they place it in the hand of a man from my Household who will fill the earth with justice just as it had been filled with tyranny and oppression. Whoever among you lives to see that, let him go to him even if he has to crawl over snow.⦗1⦘

Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said: “His ḥadith about the banners is worthless.”

I say: It is also narrated from him by Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Qudāmah al-Sarkhasī said: Abū Usāmah narrated to us, saying, “If Yazīd’s report from Ibrāhīm concerning the banners were backed by fifty emphatic oaths sworn before me, I would still not believe him.”

I say: Abū Usāmah is—by Allah—excused, and I say the same; for both before and after him in the chain are reliable leading scholars, so the flaw lies with him, whether intentionally or through error.

Muḥammad ibn Ādam al-Maṣṣīṣī narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Sulaymān al-Rāzī, from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, from Mujāhid, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, traced back to the Prophet: “Whoever drinks wine, none of his prayers will be accepted for seven days; if he dies during that period he dies a disbeliever. If it robs him of his mind so that he forgets anything of the Quran, none of his prayers will be accepted for forty days; and if he dies during that period he dies a disbeliever.”⦗2⦘

This too is on the verge of fabrication, and had Shuʿbah known that Yazīd related such baseless tales, he would never have transmitted a single word from him.

Jarīr narrated from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād who said, “Al-Ḥusayn was killed when I was fourteen…”

(1) Al‐Duafa, p. 436. The hadith is also transmitted by Ibn Majah, no. 4082 (Kitab al-Fitan, chapter “The Emergence of the Mahdi”) through the isnad: Ali b. Salih → Yazid b. Abi Ziyad. Al-Busayri declared it weak in his work Al-Zawaid (folio 256) on account of Yazid b. Abi Ziyad. He further notes that the report is likewise found in the collections of Ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Yaʿla al-Mawsili. Al-Hakim recorded it as well (4/464) with the chain: Yazid b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi → Hibban b. Sidir → ʿAmr b. Qays al-Malaʾi → al-Hakam → Ibrahim. No biographical entry could be located for Yazid b. Muhammad or Hibban b. Sidir, and the author of Talkhis al-Mustadrak rules the hadith fabricated (mawdu). (2) Al-Nasaʾi, 8/316 (Kitab al-Ashribah, chapter “The sins engendered by drinking wine”), transmits the same hadith through the isnad: Ibn Fudayl → Yazid b. Abi Ziyad → Mujahid.

فَيُقَاتِلُوْنَ، فَيُعْطَوْنَ مَا سَأَلُوا، فَلاَ يَقْبَلُوْنَ، حَتَّى يَدْفَعُوْهَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَمْلَؤُهَا عَدْلاً، كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْماً وَجَوْراً، فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُم، فَلْيَأْتِهِ وَلَوْ حَبْواً عَلَى الثَّلْجِ (١)) . قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بنُ حَنْبَلٍ: حَدِيْثُه فِي الرَّايَاتِ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ. قُلْتُ: وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضاً: مُحَمَّدُ بنُ فُضَيْلٍ. قَالَ الحَافِظُ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ السَّرْخَسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ: حَدِيْثُ يَزِيْدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ فِي الرَّايَاتِ، لَوْ حَلَفَ عِنْدِي خَمْسِيْنَ يَمِيْناً قَسَامَةً مَا صَدَّقْتُهُ. قُلْتُ: مَعْذُورٌ -وَاللهِ- أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، وَأَنَا قَائِلٌ كَذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَه وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُ أَئِمَّةٌ أَثْبَاتٌ، فَالآفَةُ مِنْهُ عَمْداً أَوخَطَأً. مُحَمَّدُ بنُ آدَمَ المَصِّيْصِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيْمِ بنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّازِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيْدَ بنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ عَمْرٍو مَرْفُوْعاً، قَالَ: (مَنْ شَرِبَ الخَمْرَ، لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاَةٌ سَبْعاً، فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِيْهِنَّ، مَاتَ كَافِراً، وَإِنْ هِيَ أَذْهَبَتْ عَقْلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ القُرْآنِ، لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاَةٌ أَرْبَعِيْنَ يَوْماً، وَإِنْ مَاتَ فِيْهِنَّ، مَاتَ كَافِراً (٢)) . وَهَذَا أَيْضاً شِبْهُ مَوْضُوْعٍ، وَلَوْ عَلِمَ شُعْبَةُ أَنَّ يَزِيْدَ حَدَّثَ بِهَذِهِ البَوَاطِيْلِ لَمَا رَوَى عَنْهُ كَلِمَةً. رَوَى: جَرِيْرٌ، عَنْ يَزِيْدَ بنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: قُتِلَ الحُسَيْنُ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ
