[The Rāfidī’s Claims Concerning Yazīd ibn Muāwiya]

(Chapter) (2)

The Rāfidī (3) said:

“A number of those who did not affirm his imamate refrained from cursing him (4), even though, in their view, he was an oppressor for killing al-Husayn and plundering his household.

Allah Most High has said:

‘Surely the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers.’

[Surah Hūd: 18]

Abu al-Faraj ibn al-Jawzī, one of the leading Hanbalī scholars, related from Ibn Abbās [may Allah be pleased with them both] (5) that Allah Most High revealed to Muhammad—peace and blessings be upon him—: ‘I put seventy thousand people to death on account of John son of Zechariah, and I shall put seventy thousand, and then another seventy thousand, to death on account of your daughter’s son (6).’ Al-Suddī, who was one of their eminent men (7), related: ‘I stopped at Karbala with foodstuffs to trade.

(1) A and B read: “Badr.” Allah Most High knows best. In his biographical entry on Fātima—may Allah be pleased with her—in *al-Isāba*, 4/366, Ibn Hajar states: “It is related through Umar ibn Alī that he said: Alī married Fātima in Rajab of the year in which they arrived in Medina, and he consummated the marriage with her upon his return from Badr, when she was eighteen years old.” (2) H reads: “Chapter Thirty-Three”; R and S: “Chapter Thirty-Four.” (3) In K, p. 117 (M), 118 (M). (4) “Cursing him”: this is the reading in M and K. All other copies read: “regarding the curse upon him.” (5) “May Allah be pleased with them both” is omitted from K, W, N, M, and R. (6) K reads: “on account of your daughter Fātima’s son.” (7) K reads: “their merits.”
