The Evilest of Generations

The Evilest Of Generations
Most of the present day sects within the so-called 'Ahl ul Sunnah' claim to follow
the first three generations after Prophet Muhammad (saw). Some of these sects,
namely the 'Salafis' believe Islam's decline resulted from religious innovations
due to abandoning their teachings. And thus an Islamic revival will only result
through the emulation of earlier generations of Muslims. In light of this, let us
refer to what the Prophet Muhammad (saw) himself stated concerning them:
Allah's Apostle (saw) said, "O Abdullah bin Amr! What will be your
condition when you will be left with the sediments of (worst) people?"
(They will be in conflict with each other).
Are such people worthy of imitation? May Allah (swt) remove His mercy from
them!

Let us see the 'sediments of the worst people' to whom Abdullah ibn Amr was left
with...
Al-Dhahabi:
In 'Musnad of Ahmad' Hunzila narrates that once I was sitting with Mu'awiyah
when two men came fighting. Each of them said that he martyred Hazrat Ammar
(r.a). Abdullah bin Amr said: "Each of you should congratulate each other
because I had heard the Holy Prophet (saw) saying that Ammar would be killed
by rebel group." Mu'awiyah said: "Why are you then with us? O Amr! Why do you
not make us free of this mad person of yours?" Abdullah bin Amr replied:
"Once my father complained to the Holy Prophet (saw) about me and
he told me to obey my father for whole of my life, and not to disobey
him, that is why I am with you, but I do not particpate in battle."
Source: Siyar A'lam An-Nubala. Vol. 3, Pg. # 92.
Objection One:
The narration of Bukhari that he quoted is not correctly written, the part that
says, "They will be in conflict with each other" is nowhere to be found in the
Arabic text.
Response One:
Al-Bukhari:
Allah's Apostle (saw) said, "O Abdullah bin Amr! What will be your condition
when you will be left with the sediments of (worst) people?" (They will be in
conflict with each other).
Source: Saheeh Al-Bukhari. Published by Darussalam. Chp. 88, H. #

480, Pg. # 301.
It is not that we have added any text to the above hadeeth, but the version of Al-
Bukhari published by Darussalam (Saudi Publication) itself contains these words
in brackets. The responsibility lies on our opponents to erase such words if
indeed it causes such terrible consequences to their belief. Anyhow, this is not
our main concern. The hadeeth highlights a very important reality, and that is the
Prophet (saw) informed Abdullah bin Amr that he would be left with the
sediments of (worst) people.
Objection Two:
If Amr ibn Al-Aas and Mu'awiyah are the worst sediment of people, than how
come the Prophet (saw) ordered Abdullah or any person to obey them till the end
of their lives?Prophet (saw) told Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Aas to always obey his
father.
Response Two:
In Siyar Alam Al-Nubala: Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Aas says he obeys his father
but does not participate in the battle of Siffeen.
In Tareekh Madinat Dimashq, Mustadrak Al-Hakim and Siyar Alam Al-Nubala:

His father Amr ibn Aas tells his son Abdullah to fight Alee (a.s) in the battle of
Siffeen and to obey Prophet (saw) orders in that he must obey his father's order,
to which Abdullah ibn Amr agrees that the Prophet (saw) did say as such. But
nowhere did he agree to participate in the battle.
The Prophet (saw) told Abdullah to obey his father but the word 'always' is
nowhere mentioned. Prophet (saw) would tell anybody to obey their parents and
never to disobey them even if they were Kuffar as it is a clear injuction from the
Holy Qur'aan that we must respect and obey our parents. It is only when parents
go against Islam are we allowed to disobey them, in which we see Abdullah ibn
Amr doing. He may have obeyed his father's every other order, but did not
participate in battle since it was disobeying Allah (swt), and the Prophet (saw)
had already informed them that Hadhrat Ammar (r.a) was to be killed by the
infidels who were Mu'awiyah and his father's Amr ibn Al-Aas' party.
Abdullah ibn Amr asked Prophet (saw) what he should do in circumstances in

which people will not keep promises and fulfill their pledges. Prophet (saw)
replied by saying: "I order you to fear Allah (swt), and focus on yourself and
ignore the matters of the general masses."
Muslim ibn Hajjaj:
It has been narrated on the authority of Abd Al-Rahman b. Abd Rabb Al-Ka'ba
who said: I entered the mosque when Abdullah b. Amr b. Al-Aas was sitting
in the shade of the Ka'ba and the people had gathered around him. I
betook myself to them and sat near him. (Now) Abdullah said: I
accompanied the Messenger of Allah (saw) on a journey. We halted at
a place. Some of us began to set right their tents, others began to
compete with one another in shooting, and others began to graze their
beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah (saw)
announced that the people should gather together for prayer, so we
gathered around the Messenger of Allah (saw). He said: It was the
duty of every Prophet that has gone before me to guide his followers
to what he knew was good for them and warn them against what he
knew was bad for them; but this Ummah of yours has its days of peace
and (security) in the beginning of its career, and in the last phase of
its existence it will be afflicted with trials and with things disagreeable
to you. (In this phase of the Ummah), there will be tremendous trials one after
the other, each making the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they
would be afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring about
my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be afflicted with another
trial, and the believer would say: This surely is going to be my end. Whoever
wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in
Allah (swt) and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be
treated by them. He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the pledge
of his hand and the sincerity of his heart. He should obey him to the best of his
capacity. If another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate),
disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the
latter. The narrator says: I came close to him (Abdullah b. Amr b. Al-
Aas) and said to him: "Can you say on oath that you heard it from the
Messenger of Allah (saw)?" He pointed with his hands to his ears and
his heart and said: "My ears heard it and my mind retained it." I said
to him: "This cousin of yours, Mu'awiyah, orders us to unjustly
consume our wealth among ourselves and to kill one another, while
Allah (swt) says: "O ye who believe! Do not consume your wealth
among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on
mutual agreement, and do not kill yourselves. Verily, God is Merciful
to you." (iv. 29). The narrator says that (hearing this) Abdullah b. Amr
b. Al-Aas kept quiet for a while and then said: "Obey him in so far as
he is obedient to God; and disobey him in matters involving
disobedience to God."
Source: Saheeh Muslim. Pg. # 894 - 895, H. # 1844 /46.
If indeed Mu'awiyah was to be obeyed until the end of his life, what was Abdullah
ibn Amr saying when the narrator informs him of Mu'awiyah's unjust behaviour
towards others? Abdullah ibn Amr was one whom did not obey neither his father
or Mu'awiyah for that matter on issues which were clearly abhorrent. To make
matters worse for themselves, the opponents continue to justify their actions and
label them as, 'Righteous Sahaba' when evidently that is not so! How far can one
go in protecting these individuals despite their actions being in direct
contradiction from these titles attributed to them? It is of utmost certainty that a
man claiming to be one in authority over the Muslim ummah and possessing
such vile character as being most definitely a part of, "The sediment of the worst
people."
Objection Three:
The Prophet (saw) was giving general instructions. If this were a specific matter
regarding Mu'awiyah and Alee (a.s), he (saw) would have given specific political
instructions.
Response Three:
Obviously Prophet (saw) was giving a general account of what was to happen in
the future concerning certain events. The Prophet (saw) may not have outlined
every fine detail but the important lesson for the companions, Abullah ibn Amr
and Abdullah ibn Umar to take was to be weary of this time when it should occur,
and thus the Prophet (saw) advised them that they should stick to the good deeds
that they learned from him (saw), to fear Allah (swt), obey his instructions, to
focus on themselves and their faith.
The events highlighted by the Prophet (saw) did indeed occur when there were
parties fighting against Imam Alee (a.s) and hence the battle of Siffeen and its
likes fell under this category. One does not need to be a genius to work this out;
there would be no need for Prophet (saw) to outline specifities.
Objection Three:
Al-Munthiri narrated that the Prophet (saw) told ibn Umar:
What will be your condition, O ibn Umar! When you will be the old one residing
among the sediments of (worst) people? They will hide the sustenance of one year
and their faith will be weak.
While we know that ibn Umar was much younger than Mu'awiyah and Amr ibn
Al-Aas. So how can the worst people mentioned in these narrations be considered
Mu'awiyah and Amr ibn Al-Aas? It is very clear that this Hadeeth refers to the era
of Yazeed ibn Mu'awiyah, because Abdullah ibn Amr and ibn Umar lived in that
era and ibn Umar was old at that time.
Response Three:
We are not arguing against this. This narration addessing Abdullah ibn Umar
may have very well been in regards to the fitna of Yazeed which took place. This
still does not alter the fact that there would be hypocrisy and people of the worst
kind in both generations, whether the Sahaba be young or old holds no
significance.

A'isha Cursed Amr ibn Al-Aas!
Al-Hakim:
Aboo Ishaq Ibraheem ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya has told us and Muhammad ibn
Muhammad ibn Yaqoob Al-Hafid has said Muhammad ibn Ishaq Al-Thaqafi has
told us Qutaybah ibn Sa'id has told us Jurair has told us from Al-A'mash from Abi
Wael from Masrooq he said: A'isha said to me: "I saw myself on a hill surrounded
by cows that are slaughtered." So I said to her: "If your dream is true then there
will be a massacre around you." She (A'isha) said: "I seek refuge in Allah (swt)
away from your bad (prediction). What a bad saying you said!" So I said to her
(A'isha): "Maybe there is a matter that will harm you?" So she said: "By God! To
fall from the sky is better to me than doing so." So after it was mentioned that
Alee (a.s) had killed Dhaa Al-Thad'ya, she said to me : '"If you reach Al-Kufa then
write for me the names of people who witnessed that among those whom you
know among the folk of that area." And when I reached Al-Kufa, I found that
people are categories [different opinions], then I wrote her the names of ten
people of each group of people who witnessed that. He (narrator) said; Then I
brought her their testimonies, then she (A'isha) said: "May Allah (swt) Curse
[deprive from mercy] Amr ibn Al-Aas because he claimed that he
killed him in Egypt!"

of the Shaikhayn (Bukhari and Muslim) but they have not narrated it. Al-
Dhahabi: It is Saheeh (Authentic) by the criteria of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Mu'awiyah Cursed And Ordered The Cursing
Of Imam Alee (a.s)
There are not enough libraries to contain the sins of Mu'awiyah, and certainly not
enough bandwidth for us to cover in this blog. We shall instead focus on his
cursing of Imam Alee (a.s). After all, what grander Sunni hypocrisy is there to
accuse the Shi'ee of cursing the Sahaba, but inventing special pleadings for the
Sahabi most well known for his public cursing of Imam Alee (a.s). It would be
unthinkable that Mu'awiyah and all his advocates were completely ignorant of all
the Hadeeth showing that Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) loved Imam Alee
(a.s), especially the public declarations of Khaybar and Ghadir. Even if they were
truly so ignorant, then Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas did mention one such Hadeeth to
Mu'awiyah, the Nasibi himself. However, despite this clear knowledge, the
empire of Mu'awiyah cursed Imam Alee (a.s). They knew that Allah (swt) and His
Messenger (saw) loved Imam Alee (a.s). Yet, they continued to curse him!
Al-Nawawi:
(Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan ordered Sa'd) and what's ordered is erased, to keep
his tongue about him: He ordered him to insult Alee (a.s), and Sa'd refrained
from this fitnah (he fought Alee (a.s) with his opponents) and maybe he is also
known for defending Alee (a.s). (Then he said: What made you to not insult Abu
Turab?) Mu'awiyah ordered Sa'd to insult Alee (a.s), but he refused, then he
asked him: What made you to not insult?
The scholars have said: The hadeeths that contain controversial content against a
Sahabi we need to interpret them (other way to prove them innocent of that
action). They have said: There is no narration through trustworthy narrators
except that it can be interpreted, so the saying of Mu'awiyah does not mean that
he forced Sa'd to insult him. But he asked him why he does not insult him. It is
just like him saying, "Did you not do it because you abstain from it?" Or "Are you
afraid?" Or something like that. It means that if it is respecting or abstaining
from insulting, so you did something good, and if it was something else there is
another answer to that. And maybe Sa'd was with a group that insulted (Alee
(a.s)) but he did not insult with them, and did not reject them, so he asked him
this question. They have also said: It might have another interpretation, that the
meaning is: What makes you refrain from proving his opinion wrong or ijtihad?
And to show to people how good our opinions are and ijtihad? And that he (Alee
(a.s) is wrong."
But the falsehood of this interpretation is clear, and a very unlikely

interpretation. What is clear, is that Mu'awiyah ordered to insult Alee
(a.s), and he (i.e. Mu'awiyah) was not infallible, so he could make
mistakes. But we should refrain from abusing any of the companions
of the Prophet (saw), and insulting Alee (a.s) in the reign of
Mu'awiyah is clear in our ninth narration.

(Mu'awiyah) CURSED him. Sa'd, as a result, got angry and said: "You dare
say such things about a man concerning whom I heard the Messenger of Allah,
peace be upon him, saying, "Whomsoever I am his Mawla, Alee (a.s) is his
Mawla." I also heard the Prophet (saw) say about Alee (a.s), "You are to me as

Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, I will never curse him. If I had just
one of them, it would be more beloved to me than a red camel." This hadeeth

"Nawasib is hostility towards Alee (may Allah be pleased with him),

preferring the others."
Source: Tadrib Al-Rawi fi Sharh Taqrib Al-Nawawi. Vol. 1, Pg. # 178.
Al-Dhahabi:
"From Nasb, comes the term Nasibi and they are hypocrites, they have made the
hate of Alee (a.s) as their religion. This name was given to them because they
have made the hate of Alee (a.s) their aim of life and had enmity for him (may
Allah be pleased with him)...Nasb means to have grudge against Alee (may
Allah be pleased with him) and love for Mu'awiyah."
Source: Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala. Vol. 4, Pg. # 37 / Vol. 18, Pg. # 201.
Ibn Kathir:
The Khalifahs from Banu Umayyah were like this…ALL OF THEM

were Nasibis, except Imam Umar the Pious: Mu'awiyah then his son
Yazid, then his grandson Mu'awiyah Al-Sadid; Marwan, then his son Abd Al-
Malik…
Source: Al-Bidayah Wa'an-Nihayah. Vol. 17, Pg. # 375.
This is an explicit testimony from a high-ranking classical scholar of the so-
called, 'Ahl Al-Sunnah wa Al-Jamaah.' Mu'awiyah was a Nasibi. His loyal son and
successor, Yazid b. Mu'awiyah, equally belonged to the Nasibi movement.
Something comes to mind here: How did Yazid acquire Nasibism? Of course, all
evidence points towards his father Mu'awiyah who initiated him into Nasibism
and nurtured him into its depths. After all, it was Mu'awiyah himself who
brought up his son in the same way Aboo Sufyan raised Mu'awiyah!
Al-Dhahabi:
Mu'awiyah had behind him a huge number of people who loved him, and who
went to extreme lengths in their views of him, and who placed him above (Alee
(a.s)). It was either because he ruled them with honour, clemency and generosity,
or because they were born in Syria upon love of him, and they raised their
children upon that (i.e. love of Mu'awiyah). Among them were a small group
of the companions, and lots of the Tabi'een and the people of merit.
They fought on his side against the people of Iraq (i.e. Imam Alee (a.s)
and his army), and they were reared upon Nasb.
Source: Siyar A'lam An-Nu'bala. Vol. 3, Pg. # 128.
Ibn Taymiyyah:
This was why placing Alee (a.s) above him (i.e. Mu'awiyah) was not a popular
opinion in it (i.e. Syria) as opposed to the cursing of Alee (a.s) which had
become a custom among the followers of Mu'awiyah. This was despite
that Alee (a.s) and his companions were closer to the Haqq (truth), and were
more upon the Haqq (truth) than Mu'awiyah and his companions, as is
documented in the two Saheeh's (Bukhari and Muslim).
Source: Majmu Al-Fatawa. Vol. 4, Pg. # 436 - 437.
Ibn Taymiyyah:
It is clear and not hidden from any scholar of the religion of Islam that whosoever
attributes divinity to a mortal, or believes that there is a Prophet after
Muhammad (saw), or that Muhammad was not a Prophet but rather Alee (a.s)
was the (real) Prophet and that Jibra'eel made a mistake, these statements and
others like them are clear evidences of the Kufr of those who profess them, (clear)
to whoever knows Islam closely as opposed to those of the Khawarij who
declared Alee (a.s) a Kafir and cursed him, and among those who
FOUGHT and CURSED him among the companions of Mu'awiyah and
Banu Marwan and others. Verily, these people were attached to Islam
and its Shari'ah!
Source: Minhaj Al-Sunnah Al-Nabawiyyah. Vol. 5, Pg. # 9.
There is no doubt that Ibn Taymiyyah (and those like him) outright rejects the
Prophet's (saw) verdict that whosoever hates Alee (a.s) for whatsoever reason or
motive, hates Allah (swt), is an enemy of Allah (swt) and is a Kafir and a
hypocrite. To them all those companions like Mu'awiyah and others who hated
Alee (a.s) were actually true believers, and pious role models. How these people
were able to combine Iman (faith) and hatred of Alee (a.s) in their hearts is never
explained by them, because after all what sort of convincing explanation can even
be remotely provided? Institutionalized cursing of a man, and even punishing
those who refuse to engage in it is not sacrosanct with having a
'misunderstanding' with that man and deep down really 'loving' him as the
Sunnis would have us believe. The opponents generally do not recognize hatred
of Alee (a.s) as a sign of hypocrisy, even though the undeniable, mutawatir
Sunnah firmly establishes it as such.
Their reason for this strange approach is not far fetched. If they ever accepted
that the haters of Imam Alee (a.s) are Kuffar and hypocrites, then their entire
sects would crumble. The majority of the companions, the founding fathers of all
the Sunni sects, would be caught by that net. Therefore they have snubbed the
Prophet's (saw) words on the hypocrisy of hating Alee (a.s). Though we agree that
their method is not the correct approach for any truthseeker, we will nonetheless
let them escape with it. The point, we believe, has already been made with all
honest hearts seeking the Haqq from Allah (swt). Yet, even if the so-called, 'Ahl
Al-Sunnah' have thrown the Prophet's (saw) words back at him, they are still
haunted by the Holy Qur'aan! The question is: Will they throw Allah's (swt)
words back at Him too? The Holy Qur'aan has made it clear that only the
believers are commanded to do good and forbid the evil.
The believing men and believing women are allies of one

another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is
wrong and establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah
and His Messenger. Those - Allah will have mercy upon
them. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
Holy Qur'aan {9:71}

In other words, true believers never take hypocrites as friends or leaders (in
religion). A sign of the believer is that he commands Al-Ma'ruf and forbids Al-
Munkar. The believer conveys the message to love Imam Alee (a.s) and his
offspring and to support them under any circumstances. So, what about a
hypocrite? The Qur'aan answers:
The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are of one
another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right
and close their hands. They have forgotten Allah , so He has
forgotten them [accordingly]. Indeed, the hypocrites - it is
they who are the defiantly disobedient.
Holy Qur'aan {9:67}
It is very clear. If you follow hypocrites, then you most certainly are
from them!
