truth about muawiya HOLY PROPHET CURSED ABU SUFYAN, MUAWIYA AND HIS SON YAZID It would be helpful if you would read the great History by Jarir Tabari, one of your eminent ulema, who wrote: The Holy Prophet saw Abu Sufyan riding a donkey. Muawiya was pulling it from the front, and his son, Yazid, was pushing it from behind. The Prophet said, Curse be upon the rider, the puller, and the pusher. Your own prominent ulema, like Tabari and Ibn Asam Kufi, faulted Caliph Uthman for not putting Abu Sufyan to death when the latter, in the open court, denied Islam, the wahi (revelation), and the presence of Gabriel. After giving Abu Sufyan a slight reproof, Uthman brushed the matter aside. I also ask you to consider Address 163 of the Nahjul-Balagha, and the narration which Ibn Abil-Hadid in his Sharh Nahjul-Balagha, Volume II, (printed in Egypt), page 582, quotes from Tabaris Tarikh-e- Kabir that some of the companions in various provinces wrote letters urging the people to declare Jihad (holy war) to protect themselves from Uthmans cruel oppression. In 34 A.H. people with complaints against officials appointed by Uthman came to Ali in Medina and asked him to intervene.
