ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
to separate his followers and to go back to his country or to another place but they
wanted either to kill him or that he was to submit to their rule.[54] Then he discussed
some doings done by Yazeed that proved his unbelieving until he said: then see his
poetry, which was full of polytheism and unfaithfulness. And what about striking the front
teeth of al-Husayn (s) with the bar, carrying the daughters of the messenger of Allah (s)
bareheaded on intractable camels, uncovering the private parts of Ali bin al-Husayn when
they hesitated about his adultness; whether he had pubes or not in order to be killed or to
be carried with the captives as the commander of the Islamic army did with the captives
of the polytheists. And what do you say about the saying of Obeidillah bin Ziyad to his
companions: Let me kill him because he is the remainder of this progeny (the
Hashemite progeny) to end this age, to get rid of this obstacle and to cut off this
genealogy? Would you tell us what all that severity and rudeness did mean after they had
quenched their thirst by killing them (al-Husayn, most of his family and his companions)
and achieved what they liked? Did that show enmity, bad thinking, grudge, hatred,
polytheism, abnormality and unbelieving or show faith and love to the Prophet (s),
obedience and true-heartedness? If he (Yazeed) was as we described, he would be
deviant and unfaithful. This is the simplest thing to be said about him. The unbeliever is to
be damned and he, who forbids cursing the damned, is to be damned.[55] We dont
think that we need to comment on the saying of aj-Jahidh. It has a good answer to
confute the disgraceful situation of al-Ghazali in his defending the band of injustice, sins,
vices and the cursed tree as called in the holy Quran. After we saw those shameful words
that al-Ghazali, who was given the title of (Hijjatul Islam),[56] uttered without feeling shy
or embarrassed, we wouldnt be surprised if we read his saying: It is forbidden for the
preacher and the others to narrate the story of the murder of al-Husayn and what
happened of quarrel among the companions because it leads people to hate and fault the
companions, who were the great figures of the religion. The quarrels happened between
them were to be interpreted with good will. Perhaps it was a mistake in interpretation the
verdicts and looking forward to the rule and the pleasures of this life.[57] It was clear
why he defended Yazeed and his band with all that misleading and distortion. He forbade
mentioning the disaster of al-Husayn. It was a disaster that the humanity had never
faced the same and a tragedy that the human beings neither had seen before nor would
see the same at all. He considered Yazeed and his band as the great figures of the
religion, which wouldnt be straightened up without them, and no one would criticize
