Hurûfîs vituperate <strong>the</strong> three Khalîfas and hadrat Mu’âwiya and<br />

those who followed him. They say that all <strong>the</strong> As-hâb-i-kirâm<br />

became renegades afterwards. They censure all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> Ahl as-sunna, however, no statements except<br />

praisals can be made <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> As-hâb-i-kirâm ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ<br />

anhum ajma’în’.<br />

Hadrat Emîr (Alî) said about hadrat Mu’âwiya and his<br />

supporters, “Our bro<strong>the</strong>rs do not agree with us. But <strong>the</strong>y are not<br />

disbelievers or sinners. They act on <strong>the</strong>ir ijtihâd.” This statement<br />

<strong>of</strong> his clears <strong>the</strong>m <strong>of</strong> disbelief and sinfulness. Cursing is not among<br />

<strong>the</strong> worships prescribed by <strong>the</strong> Islamic religion, and cursing <strong>the</strong><br />

worst <strong>of</strong> unbelievers is no exception. Is it possible for any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

As-hâb-i-kirâm to have engaged his tongue with cursing instead <strong>of</strong><br />

praying at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five daily prayers <strong>of</strong> namâz? Who<br />

on earth would believe such a monstrous lie?<br />

If it were a pious act, a worship to curse a person, it would be<br />

one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Islamic requirements to curse <strong>the</strong> accursed devil, Abû<br />

Jahl, Abû Leheb and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r implacable unbelievers <strong>of</strong><br />

Qoureish, who hurt, tormented and molested our master <strong>the</strong><br />

Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi wa sallam’ and did harms and<br />

treacheries to this true religion. When it is not a commandment to<br />

curse <strong>the</strong> enemies, could it be thawâb to curse <strong>the</strong> friends? There<br />

is more detailed information in this respect in <strong>the</strong> thirty-seventh<br />

chapter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second fascicle <strong>of</strong> Endless Bliss.<br />

35- “Mu’âwiya had hadrat Hasan martyred by giving his wife<br />

plenty <strong>of</strong> jewellery and cajoling her into poisoning her husband,”<br />

he says. In <strong>the</strong> tenth paragraph we touched upon <strong>the</strong> slanders in<br />

<strong>the</strong> history book named Taberî. The grand book titled The History<br />

<strong>of</strong> Taberî (or Tabarî) is very valuable. It was written by a scholar<br />

<strong>of</strong> Ahl as-sunna, namely Muhammad bin Jerîr Taberî<br />

‘rahmatullâhi aleyh’, who passed away in 310 (H.). A Hurûfî came<br />

forward under <strong>the</strong> same name, wrote an abridged version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

book, and titled it Târîh-i-Taberî (<strong>the</strong> History <strong>of</strong> Taberî). The<br />

existing Turkish version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> History <strong>of</strong> Taberî is a translation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> abridged version. The original version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> book is much<br />

larger. As we have explained in <strong>the</strong> passage we translated from <strong>the</strong><br />

book Tuhfa and added in <strong>the</strong> tenth paragraph, Murawwij-uz-zahab<br />

is a history book full <strong>of</strong> slanders. Is it worthy <strong>of</strong> a Muslim to dirty<br />

a religious book with such abhorrent and wicked lies which are<br />

quite counter to hadrat Mu’âwiya’s ‘radiy-Allâhu anh’ honour and<br />

to add <strong>the</strong> two (abovenamed) gutter publications in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong><br />

documentation?<br />
