and the Azāriqa (1). Also the Jahmiyya (2), the Najjāriyya (3), the Dirāriyya (4), (5) and the like. The latter (5) (5)
(1) The Azāriqa were the followers of Abū Rāshid Nāfiʿ ibn al-Azraq ibn Qays al-Hanafī al-Bakrī al-Wāʾilī, a native of Basra. Early in his life, he associated with ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās. He was among those who revolted against ʿUthmān and later among those who rebelled against ʿAlī at Harūrāʾ. He subsequently rose against ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr, and al-Muhallab ibn Abī Sufra fought him until he was killed in 65 AH. The Azāriqa were known for their extremism: they declared everyone who opposed them, as well as everyone who committed a major sin, to be an unbeliever, and they deemed it lawful to kill their opponents, including their children. Ibn Taymiyya discusses Nāfiʿ later at 3/62 (B).
