It is no news that Salafis love and revere Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah (la),
the murderer of the Prophet's (as) family. Although they normally deny
that they love him. But the fact that Dr. Zakir Naik, a world- famous
Salafi, send blessings upon Yazid (la)
speaks volumes. You cannot logically invoke Allah's blessings upon
someone you hate! In fact, Zakir and all other Salafis consider him a
Jannati, on account of a hadith fabricated by Imam al-Bukhari. We have
dealt with that hadith here.
In this article, we are only going to copy-paste some posts by some
good Sunnis about Yazid. Thank Allah, not every Sunni loves that
illegitimate child. After reading all the posts, we invite our
open-minded readers to balance Salafi attitude to Yazid against the
reality. Are they really supposed to send Allah's blessings upon him
(la)? Is he really a Jannati? The post is by a Sunni brother, and was
copied from here :
states in the famous book on Jirah wa Tadil by Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah)
قال يحيـى بن عبد الملك بن أبـي غنية أحد الثقات، ثنا نوفل بن أبـي عقرب ثقة قال: كنت عند عمر بن عبد العزيز فذكر رجل يزيد بن معاوية، فقال: قال أمير المؤمنين يزيد، فقال عمر: تقول أمير المؤمنين يزيد، وأمر به فضرب عشرين سوطاً
Yahya bin Abdul Mulk bin Abi Ghania "WHO WAS AMONGST THIQA NARRATORS" he heard from Nawfl bin Abi Aqrab "WHO IS THIQA" he narrates: Once in the gathering of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] people talked about Yazid bin Muawiya, someone among the people mentioned Yazid with the title of Ameer ul Momineen, hearing this Hadrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz [ra] replied (in anger): You have called Yazeed Amir Ul Mominein? Then he gave order of 20 lashes to be given to the person

Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Hajr Asqalani's (rah)
وأما المحبة فيه والرفع من شأنه فلا تقع إلا من مبتدع فاسد الاعتقاد فإنه كان فيه من الصفات ما يقتضي سلب الإيمان عمن يحبه لأن الحب في الله والبغض في الله من الإيمان والله المستعان
,
Loving and glorifying him is not done except by a heretic who has void belief because he (Yazid) had such characteristics that his lover deserves to be faithless, because to love and hate just in the sake of God is the sign of faith.

The heinous crimes of Yazid
Ibn Kathir then says in his Tarikh under events of 63 AH
فقال ابن الزبير يا هؤلاء قتل أصحابكم فانا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
وقد أخطأ يزيد خطأ فاحشا فى قوله لمسلم بن عقبة أن يبيح المدينة ثلاثة أيام وهذا خطأ كبير فاحش مع ما انضم إلى ذلك من قتل خلق من الصحابة وأبنائهم وقد تقدم أنه قتل الحسين وأصحابه على يدى عبيد الله بن زياد وقد وقع فى هذه الثلاثة أيام من المفاسد العظيمة فى المدينة النبوية مالا يحد ولا يوصف مما لا يعلمه إلا الله عز وجل وقد أراد بارسال مسلم بن عقبة توطيد سلطانه وملكه ودوام أيامه من غير منازع فعاقبه الله بنقيض قصده وحال بينه وبين ما يشتهيه فقصمه الله قاصم الجبابرة وأخذه أخذ عزيز مقتدر وكذلك أخذ ربك إذا أخذ القرى وهى ظالمة إن أخذه أليم شديد
Translation: Hadrat Ibn Zubayr (Radhi Allaho Anho) said: O PEOPLE YOUR COMPANIONS HAVE BEEN KILLED – Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun
"Yazeed committed a mistake and that too a disgusting one by ordering Muslim bin Uqba to make Medina Mubah for three days. This was the biggest blunder. Many Sahaba and their children were slaughtered. As it has been mentioned before that Yazid made UbaydUllah Ibn Ziyad kill the grandson of Rasulullah (saw) Husayn and his companions, and in those three days huge heinous crimes happened in Madina about which nobody knows except Allah]. Yazeed wanted to secure his governance by sending Muslim bin Uqbah but Allah did against his wishes and punished him. Verily Allah killed him likewise Allah made grip over the oppressing towns, no doubt His grip is painful and strict
[Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Vol 8 Page 283]
Even Ibn Ziyad testified against Yazid
Yazid’s crimes were so heinous that even his loyal UbaidUllah Ibn Ziyad (whom he had sent to murder Muslim bin Aqeel and later Imam Hussain ra too) said:
كان يزيد كتب إلى عبد الله بن زياد أن يسير إلى الزبير فيحاصره بمكة فأبى عليه وقال والله لا أجمعهما للفاسق أبدا أقتل ابن بنت رسول الله ص وأغزو البيت الحرام وقد كانت أمه مرجانة قالت له حين قتل الحسين ويحك ماذا صنعت وماذا ركبت وعنفته تعنيفا شديدا قالوا وقد بلغ يزيد أن ابن الزبير يقول فى خطبته يزيد القرود شارب الخمور تارك الصلوات منعكف على القينات
Translation:When Yazid wrote to Abdullah Ibn Ziyad that he should go to Makkah and besiege Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) he refused to do so and said: By Allah I will not combine two things for a Fasiq (i.e. Yazid). I have already killed the son of Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam)’s daughter (on his order) and now (he asks me to) wage war on Bayt ul Harram? However when he martyred Imam Hussain (RA) his mom Marjana said to him: May you die! what have you done and what crime have you committed, she also scolded him severely. Yazid was informed that Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) used to say in his speeches that Yazid was a fraud, drunkard, one who abandons Salaat and one who stays with singing women.

Opression upon Sahaba and greatest Tabiyeen
ثم أباح مسلم بن عقبة الذى يقول فيه السلف مسرف بن عقبة قبحه الله من شيخ سوء ما أجهله المدينة ثلاثة أيام كما أمره يزيد لا جزاه الله خيرا وقتل خيرا خلقا من أشرافها وقرائها وانتهب أموالا كثيرة منها ووقع شر وفساد عريض على ما ذكره غير واحد فكان ممن قتل بين يديه صبرا معقل بن سنان وقد كان صديقه قبل ذلك ولكن أسمعه فى يزيد كلاما غليظا فنقم عليه بسببه
Translation: And he Muslim bin Uqba who is known as As-Salf Musraf bin Uqba, May Allah not do well to this leader of evil and ignorance, he made Madina legal for 3 days on the order of Yazid. May Allah also not grant Jaza and khayr to him(i.e. Yazid), he got many righteous killed and also looted the amwaal in Madina in great numbers, this has been multiply narrated that he created a lot of Shar and Fasad. It is mentioned that Hadrat Muafl bin Sanan (RA) was tied infront (of Ibn Uqba) and then martyred, you were his friend before but later you used strong words against Yazid due to which he became angry at you.

(Sa’eed ibn Musab) said: I will give bayah on seerah of Sayyidna Abu Bakr and Sayyidna Umar (RA).

{ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُواْ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ وَتُقَطّعُواْ أَرْحَامَكُمْ * أَوْلَـئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ }

Translation:He (Yazid) was a disgusting Nasibi (i.e. those who hate Ahlul bayt). He drank and did evil. He started his kingdom with the killing of the Shahid al-Hussain (RA) and ended it with the incident of al-Harra (i.e. besiegement of Madina which also makes him directly liable for Lanah as sahih ahadith prove).

More from Imam Dhahabi
Imam Dhahabi Writes: Ziyad Haarthi narrated: 'Yazid gave me alcohol to drink, I had never drunk alcohol like that before and I enquired where he had obtained its ingredients from'. Yazid replied: 'it is made of sweet pomegranate, Isfahan's honey, Hawaz's sugar, Taif's grapes and Burdah's water'. Ahmed bin Masama' narrated: 'Once Yazid drank alcohol and started to dance, suddenly he fell down and his nostril began to bleed'.

Imam Dhahabi (rah) writes: I say: 'When Yazid did to the people of Madina what he did and killed al-Hussain and his brothers and progeny, and Yazid drank alcohol, and performed abominable things, then the people hated him and rose up against him more than once. God didn't bless his life and Abu Bilal Mirdas bin Adya al-Hanzali rose against him.'

Allama Alusi said:
And I say what is prevalent over my mind that (Yazid) Khabith did not testify to the messengership of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). According to me it is correct to curse a person like Yazid, although one cannot imagine a Fasiq like him and apparently he never repented, the possibility of his repentance is weaker than the possibility of his faith (Iman). Along with Yazid, Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Sa'ad and his group shall also be included. Verily, may Allah's curse be upon all of them, their friends, their supporters, their group and upon everyone who inclines towards them until Qayamah and until an eye sheds a tear for Abu Abdullah Hussain (ra).
[Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani, Volume 26, Page No. 73]
Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza ( رحمة الله عليه ) called Yazid as Paleed!
Imam Ala Hadrat Ahmed Ridha Khan Fadhil Baraili (rah) said: Yazeed was Paleed (disgusting) was Qat’an and Yaqeenan (Absolutely and with conviction) Ba Ijmah (with consensus) of Ahlus Sunnah a “FASIQ O FAJIR (Sinner and Transgressor)” who committed “KABAIR (BIG) SINS” On this do the Ahlus Sunnah have agreement, however in his Takfir on Lanah there is dispute. “IMAM AHMED BIN HANBAL (RA) AND HIS COMPANIONS CALL HIM KAFIR AND THEY DO THAT BY CURSING HIM WITH NAME AND THEY DO ISTADLAL FROM THIS AYAH”Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin? Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. [Quran 47:22-23]
“THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YAZID DID FASAD WHEN HE BECAME RULER” rather he utterly disrespected the Haramayn Tayibayn, the Ka’ba itself and the blessed shrine of Prophet (Peace be upon him). He tied horses in Masjid an Nabwi due to which the urine of them even spilled over the pulpit (Naudhobillah), for three days Adhaan and prayer was stopped in Masjid an Nabwi, he got thousands of innocent Sahaba martyred in Makkah, Madina and Hijaaz, got stones being thrown of Ka’ba, got the Ghulaaf torn and burnt, This “KHABEETH” made the pure and pious ladies of madina as Halal for his army (i.e. to do Zina .. AstaghfirUllah), he kept the loved one of Prophet as thirsty and hungry for 3 days and then got him slaughtered along with his companions.

The blessed face of Imam Hussain (ra) which was used to be kissed by Prophet, it was gotten cut and put on a spear and displayed it to public…
Imam Ahmed Raza (rah) after proving all this said (Please note the honesty of this Imam in Fiqh): Imam Ahmed and his Companions send Lanah on Yazid whereas our Imam Abu Hanifa (rah) has done “SUKOOT” over calling him Kafir or sending Lanah upon him, due to “CAUTION” but clarified that him being “FASIQ AND FAJIR” is prove from “TAWATUR” but Kufr is not Mutawatir, so whosoever does not (Consider him kafir) will not be held responsible but Whosoever rejects that he was Fasiq o Fajir and puts blame on the Malzoom Imam Hussain (ra) is “CLEARLY AGAINST THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AHLUS SUNNAH AND DOES ZALALAT AND IS FROM BAD MADHAB” rather this could never come from the heart of person who has the lamp of Prophet (Peace be upon him)’s love
[Imam Ahmed Ridha Fadhil Baraili, Fatawa al Ridhwiyyah, Volume No. 14, Pages:591-592, Published Lahore, Pakistan]
And I say what is prevalent over my mind that (Yazid) Khabith did not testify to the messengership of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). According to me it is correct to curse a person like Yazid, although one cannot imagine a Fasiq like him and apparently he never repented, the possibility of his repentance is weaker than the possibility of his faith (Iman). Along with Yazid, Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Sa'ad and his group shall also be included. Verily, may Allah's curse be upon all of them, their friends, their supporters, their group and upon everyone who inclines towards them until Qayamah and until an eye sheds a tear for Abu Abdullah Hussain (ra).
[Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani, Volume 26, Page No. 73]
Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza ( رحمة الله عليه ) called Yazid as Paleed!
Imam Ala Hadrat Ahmed Ridha Khan Fadhil Baraili (rah) said: Yazeed was Paleed (disgusting) was Qat’an and Yaqeenan (Absolutely and with conviction) Ba Ijmah (with consensus) of Ahlus Sunnah a “FASIQ O FAJIR (Sinner and Transgressor)” who committed “KABAIR (BIG) SINS” On this do the Ahlus Sunnah have agreement, however in his Takfir on Lanah there is dispute. “IMAM AHMED BIN HANBAL (RA) AND HIS COMPANIONS CALL HIM KAFIR AND THEY DO THAT BY CURSING HIM WITH NAME AND THEY DO ISTADLAL FROM THIS AYAH”Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin? Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. [Quran 47:22-23]
“THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YAZID DID FASAD WHEN HE BECAME RULER” rather he utterly disrespected the Haramayn Tayibayn, the Ka’ba itself and the blessed shrine of Prophet (Peace be upon him). He tied horses in Masjid an Nabwi due to which the urine of them even spilled over the pulpit (Naudhobillah), for three days Adhaan and prayer was stopped in Masjid an Nabwi, he got thousands of innocent Sahaba martyred in Makkah, Madina and Hijaaz, got stones being thrown of Ka’ba, got the Ghulaaf torn and burnt, This “KHABEETH” made the pure and pious ladies of madina as Halal for his army (i.e. to do Zina .. AstaghfirUllah), he kept the loved one of Prophet as thirsty and hungry for 3 days and then got him slaughtered along with his companions. The ones who were brought up in the lap of Prophet, he made the horses trample their bodies (AstaghfirUllah)

Debunking Zakir Naik claim regarding bukhari hadith
some misquotethis hadith to prove yazid jannati
,
""He heard the Prophet saying, 'Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition.' The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.'" (Sahih Bukhari volume 4 hadith 175)

► First attack on Caesar's city was in 42 hijri. Second attack was in 43 and "Hazrat Bosr ben ABI Arka was the leader of this army.
► Third attack was in 44 and this was led by Abdurehman ben Khalid ben Waleed. The next attack was in 46 hijri which was led by Maalik ben Abdurehman and Abdurehman ben Khalid ben Waleed.
► In 47 next attack was led by Maalik ben Hobaira and Abdurehman ben Qaiymi. In 49 hijri 3 rome was attacked for 3 times. and lastly yazid was in attack of 50 hijri.
Hazrat Amir Mawiya (RA) arrested Yazeed and sent him to ceasar because Yazeed was used to make fun of Mujahideen and as a punishment Yazeed was sent there not for Jihad
,
So Yazeed was in the seventh attack, not in the first attack and in Bukhari Shareef it is mentioned that 'The first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.'
Yazidis misuse the hadith of Bukhari and try to send him to paradise
,
Let’s see explanation of hadith through another sahih hadith
عن أسلم أبي عمران قال : غزونا من المدينة نريد القسطنطينية وعلى الجماعة عبد الرحمن بن خالد بن الوليد
Translation: Aslam Abi Imran (ra) said: We went out on an expedition from Madina towards Constantinople. Abdur-Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid was the (leader) over our group.
[Sunnan Abu Dawud, Volume No. 2 Hadith # 2512, Albani declared it Sahih in his Takhrij]
,
The hadith of Bukhari does not mention name of Yazid so the lovers of Yazid just falsely assume a merit of him, however this sahih hadith of Abu Dawud mentions Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid by name, so without any shadow of doubt the Fasiq/Fajir Yazid loses this merit which his lovers try to attribute towards him.

from Tarikh at Tabri itself
It states under events of “44 AH”
فمما كان فيها من ذلك دخول المسلمين مع عبد الرحمن بن خالد بن الوليد بلاد الروم ومشتاهم بها وغزو
,
Translation: In (44 AH) The Muslims with Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid entered Rome and the Ghazwa took place
[Tarikh at-Tabri under events of 44 AH]
still let’s see how this Yazid went later

Imam Ibn Al-Atheer (rah) writes:
في هذه السنة وقيل : سنة خمسين سير معاوية جيشًا كثيفًا إلى بلاد الروم للغزاة ، وجعل عليهم سفيان بن عوف ، وأَمَرَ ابنه يزيد بالغزاة معهم فتثاقل واعتلّ فأمسك عنه أبوه ، فأصاب الناس في غزاتهم جوعٌ ومرض شديد ، فأنشأ يزيد يقول :
ما إن أبالي بما لاقت جموعهم *** بالفرقدونة من حمى ومن موم
إذا اتكأت على الأنماط مرتفقًا *** بدير مروان عندي أم كلثومِ
فبلغ معاوية شعره، فأقسم عليه ليلحقنّ بسفيان في أرض الروم، ليصيبه ما أصاب الناس، فسار ومعه جمع كثير أضافهم إليه أبوه

In this year i.e. 49 AH or 50 AH, Muawiya (رضّى الله عنه) sent a huge army towards Rome. He made Sufyan bin Awf (ra) as its commander and he ordered his son Yazid to go with them, however Yazid “ACTED TO HAVE BECOME SICK AND DENIED TO GO” When the warriors were struck with harsh hunger and diseases, Yazid (mockingly) said this poetry:
At Farqudwana immense wrath covered them, whether they had fever or whatever I don’t care because I am sitting on a high carpet and Umm ul Kulthum (one of his wives) is between my armpits.
,
When Ameer Muawiya (رضّى الله عنه) heard these phrases he made Yazid to take an oath and join Sufyan bin Awf in Rome so that “HE COULD ALSO BE STRUCK BY THESE SAME DIFFICULTIES AS THE WARRIORS OF ISLAM HAD FACED (THIS WAS PUNISHEMENT TO YAZID)” Yazid became helpless and he had to go and Ameer Muawiya (رضّى الله عنه) sent another army with him

Here is another proof from Imam al-Hafidh Jalal-ud-din Suyuti ( رحمة الله عليه )
Translation:You (Imam Hussain - Radhi Allaho Anho) were martyred and your head was brought to Ibn Ziyad on a plate. "May Allah's Lanah (Curse) be upon the person who killed you, Ibn Ziyad "AND UPON YAZID"
[As-Suyuti in Tarikh ul Khulafa, Page No. 165]
Translation:Nawfl bin Abi Firaat (rah) said that once he was sitting with Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz (rah) when a man called Yazid as "Ameer ul Momineen Yazid bin Muawiya" at this (Umar bin Abdul Aziz said in anger): YOU CALL THIS PERSON AS AMEER UL MOMINEEN?! and then he ordered the person to be "LASHED 20 TIMES"…in 63 AH Yazid got to know that people of Madina have rejected him and are preparing to revolt against him, knowing this Yazid sent a huge army to Madina and "DECLARED WAR UPON IT’S PEOPLE"after looting in Madina he sent the army to martyr Hadrat Abdullah bin Zubayr (ra) in Makkah and so the incident of "HURRA" took place, do you know what Hurra is? Regarding it Hassan (a Tabi'i) said: When Madina was attacked, there remained not a single person who was safe from it, "HUGE AMOUNT OF SAHABA AND OTHERS WERE MARTYRED PLUS MADINA WAS LOOTED AND THOUSANDS OF VIRGIN GIRLS WERE RAPED" Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Whosoever frightens People of Madina then Allah will frighten them (the attackers) plus Curse (Lanah) of Allah, his Angels and all the people is upon such a person (Sahih Muslim) the reason why people of Madina did not give bayah to Yazid was because he was indulged in “TOO MANY SINS” Imam Waqidi (rah) narrates fromAbdullah Bin Khazlatal Ghusail (a Sahabi) that he said: By Allah we did not revolt against Yazid until we were sure that “WE WILL BE SHOWERED WITH STONES FROM SKY” (the Yazidans) started to do Nikah with their mothers, sisters and daughters, they started to drink openly and neglected prayers! Imam Dhahabi (rah) said: When Yazid did such things with people of Madina although “ HE WAS INDULGED IN DRINKING AND OTHER EVIL DEEDS EVEN BEFORE” then the people of Makkah also revolted against him and rose against him from 4 sides and then Allah did not put Barakah in life of Yazid (Then it mentions that Yazid attacked Makkah and got the Abdullah Ibn Zubayr Martyred)
