IMAM HUSSAIN-the true Imam

Yazid’s army stoned the Ka’aba

Afterwards, Yazid ordered the army to attack the Ka’aba in Makkah.  Accordingly, Yazid’s army set up their cannons and stoned the Ka’aba, because of which the curtain of the Ka’aba caught fire.

It is written in Tarikh Kamil, Vol. 3, Pg. No. 464:

Translation: To the extent that when 3 days of Rab‘ee Ul Awwal passed, they stoned the Ka’aba with their cannons, burnt it and started singing thus: "We have tremendous power and courage, we stone this Masjid with cannons."

In the basic tract of beliefs (Aqaaid), which is taught in most Madrasas, "Sharh Aqaaid Nasafi", Imam Sa’aduddin Taftazani (May Allah shower His mercy on him) writes:

Translation: Some Imams, because of ordering the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, declare him as a disbeliever (Kafir) and defector (Murtad), and hold cursing Yazid as permissible.  The scholars of this Ummah are in agreement on the permissibility of cursing those martyred Imam Hussain and those who ordered it or those consider it (the martyrdom) as permissible and those who were happy on it.  The fact is that Yazid’s agreement on the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, his being happy with it and his insulting the Prophet’s Family is well established by those Hadiths, which are in effect, equal to the "Mutawatir" (very frequentlyoccuring) Hadith, even though its details may not be established by a first-hand report (Khabr Wahid).  Thus, we cannot exercise restraint (i.e. remain silent) on Yazid, but we will exercise restraint about the faith of Yazid.  May Allah curse him and his helpers.  (Sharh Aqaaid Nasafi, Pg No. 117)
