aapko is baare me kya kahna hai? "Ayesha's entry onto the battlefield of Jamal was a violation of the Quran Allah (swt) states clearly with regards to the wives of Rasulullah (s):

"And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance;...." Al-Quran 33:33 Comment Our contention is that Ayesha’s leaving her residence following the demise of the Holy Prophet [s] and accompanying into battle a rebellious male movement that opposed the Khalifa of the time, was an open violation of this verse.

====================================

Dear Asef Sahab, Dear and Respected Ms Kaneez Sahiba and Mr Worried Muslim,

Answers as per my humble knowledge is as under:

If you are Shia then you are denying that this Quranic Verse is about the Family of Ali and accepting that this verse is about the Wives of Prophet Mohammad [PBUH]. Explain your position and clear your stand. I am least bothered about the events took place centuries ago.

Shia often quote History [Jamal, Siffin, Neherwan and Karbala] to justify and explain the background of Shiaism. So let me quote History of Shia Sects from the same history books e.g. Tabari, Tabaqat Ibn-e-Saad, Usadul Ghaba, Al Isteeaab, Kamil Al Athir, Al Bidaya Wal Nihaya, Ibn-e-Khaldun, Masudi, Kitab al–Milal wa al-Nihal, Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa' wa al-Nihal, Talbees Iblees - Arabic [The Devil's Deception] all books are available in India as well:

These are the Issues for which we will never be asked questions by Allah on Judgement Day.

Those are a people who have passed away; theirs is that which they earned and yours that which ye earn. And ye will not be asked of what they used to do. [AL-BAQARA (THE COW) Chapter 2 - Verse 141]

If you believe in History of Islam i.e. Tabari, Tabaqat Ibn Saad, Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Athir, Istiaab by Ibn Barr and Usadul Ghaba by Ibn Athir.

Then it is also recorded in History that:

Mohammad Bin Abu Bakar [adopted, trained and brought up by Hazrat Ali - May Allah be pleased with him] and was the first person who attacked Hazrat Uthman [May Allah be pleased with him] ???

It is also recoreded in the above mentioned books that one of the son [non Fatimid] of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] was martyred by Ameer Mukhtar Saqafi [Nowadays a Hero for Shias].

It is also recorded in the same History that Umm-e-Muhammad d/o Abdullah Bin Jaffer Tayyar [May Allah be pleased with him - Abdullah was Bibi Zainab's Husband i.e. son-in-law of Hazrat Ali - May Allah be pleased with him] was the wife of Yazid Ibn Muawiyah.

It is also recorded in the same History that:

IMAM KHOMEINI

In the book Dawate Fikar on page no.35

Question: Swords and Zanjeer (Chains with small knives) or sharp Knives with which the body gets hurt and even blood comes out of it but there if there is no danger to the life, What is the ruling on it?

Answer: The mourning and chest beating in the distress of the leader of the oppressors Imam Hussain AS is considered to be good act. But it should be noted that no blood comes out of the body or it becoming an act of hurting ones body. Hence this act is defamation for the religion therefore it is unlawful and in all circumstances one should avoid this type of acts.

TRADITION OF THE INFALLIBLES AS

The first lamentation started at the plain of Karbala when Ali Akbar AS the son of Imam Hussain AS came at the door of the tent and said with his dried lips “O Mother take my Last Salam, O My Aunts take the Last Salam” By this saying of this Salam all the tent was erupted by mourning and lamentation. All the ladies surrounded him some has hold his Aba and some has kissed his feet when he has climbed the horse. Ali Akbar AS turned towards the battle field after saying Vale to all of them and then from behind Fiza AS shouted he turned and saw his Aunt (Zainab AS) and in her hand was a stone with which she was lamenting her injured forehead.

Note:-in the presence of the infallibles the Zainab SA lamented and injured her forehead which has become a Hujjat. And one who give fatwa against blood shedding and lamentations is actually a shias of Muawiya and Yazeed and they belong to them.

Details are as under:

After the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] , the Shias clustered around his son Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] and appointed him as their Imam on the third day of his death. Qais bin Saad bin ‘Ubadah was the first person to take the oath of allegiance at his hand.

The Sabaiites had now come out into the open with complete fanfare. They dropped the old apologetic posture and paraded their fictitious wares with aggressive flamboyance. They tore away the diplomatic veil they had donned in the past to camouflage their hideous intentions because they were too scared of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] to be caught. it would be even more true to say that their sulking posture was motivated more by diplomacy than by fear. It goes to their credit that they never under-estimated Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]. In fact, they were deeply impressed by his shrewdness and readiness to act. They knew down in their hearts that if they expressed their bogus beliefs publicly, he would wipe them out root and branch and give them out root and branch and give them a spanking they would never forget. A Shia historian records that the first not of transgression about the exaggerated powers of Hadhrat Ali was played by the Sabaiites during his own reign: it was obviously an exercise in negative innovation which is quite inconsistent with the hallowed traditions of reporting and positive transmission of information. Once Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] happened to meet a bunch of people who were eating during daytime in Ramazan. He asked them if they were travellers or patients.

Sabaiites: We are neither travelers not patients

Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]: Are you from among the people of the Book or are you non-Muslims.

Sabaiites: No, we are not from among the people of the Book.

Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]: Then why are you eating during daytime in the month of fasting?

Sabaiites: You are you.

In this way the Sabaiites were pointing to his Godliness. He told them to repent and gave them to repent and gave them some time for repentance. He elicited from them the promise that they would convey their repentance to him within a certain span of time. But these rascals clung to their spurious faith. Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] lumped them together in a pit and fumigated them. He warned them to back out of their rickety convictions, otherwise they would be burned alive. But when they persisted in their deviation, they were consigned to the flames. At that occasion he recited the verse:

(When I detected something indecent, I kindled the fire and called for Qanbar).

Note: This incident is also narrated by Ibn Abbas [May Alah be pleased with him] in Bukhari.


He himself was present when they were being broiled in the leaping flames and he stayed there till they were charred to cinders and ashes. They went into hiding or under cover for about a year and put the lid on this episode but Abdullah bin Saba suddenly jumped into action after the death of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] . As has already been pin-pointed, he was a Yemenite Jew who paraded himself as a Muslim. Those who pledged at his hand and yielded to the flotsam and jetsam of his jumbled and scrambled beliefs are know as Sabaiites. They openly denied the death of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him].

Nau Bakhti, who is the earliest authority on the genesis and evolution of Shia Sects , supports this view:

"After the martyrdom of Hadhrat Ali, his followers who believed in his leadership as part of divine obligation, split into three Sects. One sect believed that Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] had neither been murdered nor had he died, nor would he be ever murdered or die. He will drive the Arabs with his rod and fell the entire world with justice and equity when it is choked with tyranny and oppression.

It is the first sect in the Muslim community which cooked up the concept of legacy and banked on exaggeration and distortion as propaganda ploys. This sect is known as the Sabaiites and its adherents were the followers Abdullah bin Saba. He is the first man who grinned at Hazrat Abu Bakr [May Allah be pleased with him], Hazrat Umar [May Allah be pleased with him], Harzat Uthman [May Allah be pleased with him] and other companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and dissociated himself from them and he claimed that his acts carried the sanction and support of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]. When Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] was apprised of the situation, he asked him about it but he came out with a blunt confession. He ordered him to be executed. But the people vociferously protested against it and told Hadhrat Ali that he had ordered the execution of a person whose heart spilled over with the love of his children, who took pride in his friendship and who had de-linked himself with his enemies. Therefore he deported him to Madain.

A scholarly off-shoot of the companions of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] has stated that Abdullah bin Saba was a Jew who had donned the cloak of Islam, pretended to love Hadhrat Ali and during his Jewish period he held similar belief about Hadhrat Ali that he was the executor of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The same Jew propagated first of all the obligatory nature of Hadhrat Ali’s Imamat, dissociated himself from his enemies and waged war against his opponents. That is why those who are against the Shias believe that Shiaism is derived from Judaism. When the news of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]'s death was conveyed to Abdullah bin Saba in Madain, his instant reaction was categorical denial. He said to the messenger: You are lying. I will not believe it even if you bring to me his brain wrapped in seventy covers and offer seventy reliable persons as witnesses not has he been murdered because he can not die until he is the lord of the entire earth.

The reappearance of Sabaiites after the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] and the happily invented beliefs it projected and propagated, has also been explained in details by Abdul Qadir Baghdadi in his "Al-Firq bayn-ul-Firq" Ash-‘ari in "Maqalt-ul-lslamiyyin. Razi in "iraqadat Firq-ul- Muslimin wal Mushrikin" Asfraini in "Tabsir" Shahristani in "Kitab al–Milal wa al-Nihal", Ibn Hazm in ‘Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa' wa al-Nihal". Abdul Hassan Balti in "At-Tanbih" Jirjani in "At-Tafrifat: and Maqrizi in "Khatat" have made reference to them.

All of these historians have expressed that after the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him], Abdullah bin Saba returned from the place where he had lived as an exile. On his return he spelled out his specific beliefs about Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him].

Asfraini writes:

"Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] was scared of incinerating the rest of the Sabaiites on account of the Syrian opposition. Besides a rift had developed between his friends and companions on the issue. Ibn Saba persisted in belief that the man who had been murdered was not Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]".

Shahristani also supports him: "Abduullah bin Saba articulated his specific beliefs after of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] and his party thronged around him on the vasis of these beliefs"

Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] followed in the tracks of his father and waged a war against his thoughts and beliefs. The Shia writer Ibn abi al-Hadid [Motazili Shia] writes:

"Abdullah bin Saba appeared after the death of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]. He was, in fact a Jew but wore the badge of Islam. His followers are called "Sabaiites". These people believed that Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] had not died but he was still alive among the skies. The thunder is his voice and the lightening is his glitter. Whenever they heard the clap, they uttered

(Peace on you, O Amir-ul-Mominin!)

These cruel people talked of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in extremely unrefined and indecorous language, accused him of baseless motives and publicly claimed that he had suppressed ninety percent of the divine revelation. The Sabaiites belief about the revelation has been discarded by Hassan bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah Bin Ali Ibn Abi Talib [May Allah have mercy on his soul] in a letter in which he mentions "Arja". The contents of this letter have been communicated by Sulaiman bin abi Shaikh through Haitham bin Muawiyyah, Abdul Aziz bin Abban and Abdul Wahid bin Aiman Makki. Makki relates that he was with Hassan bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Hanifayyah when he was dictating the letter. He dictated that, according to the Sabaiites, they had been blessed with a revelation which the people had rejected, that they had been blessed with knowledge which was hidden from other people. These lousy people believe that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had suppressed ninety percent of the divine revelation, though if the Prophet (peace be upon him) had really suppressed revelation, he would have blotted out the verses relating to the wife of Hadhrat Zayd [May Allah be pleased with him] or he would have suppressed the contents of the following verse:

(Do you desire the willing support of your wives?)

Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] in the style of his father. On the contrary the Sabaiites enjoyed great latitude during his tenure and spread the message of friction and disunity without much restraint. They intensified their efforts to inject the poison of dissension into the veins of the Muslim body. Whin the Shias were disenchanted with Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him], they fell an easy prey to the Sabaiites Conspiracy. Some of them felt inclined towards Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] and some of them joined the Kharijis. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] had almost lost his grip over them. These developments have been sketched out by Mufid, Urbili, Majlisi etc. in their respective books. They have reerred to Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him]’s advance towards Iraq:

"Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] marched towards Iraq to secure a point of vantage, but when he reached Jasr Manbaj, Hadhrat Hassan also moved into action. He sent a message to his officials to make preparation for a confrontation and also asked the people to come out in the name of Jehad. The people felt that the call of Jehad was too heavy a burden for them to carry. But some of them responded to the call the and an assortment of people joined him. Some of them were his shias and the shias of his father. Others believed that war must by waged against Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] at any cost. There were still others who relished mischief as well as the spoils of war. Some of them were the victims of skepticism, others of fanaticism. They were the willing slaves of their chedftains and were the least attached to their faith. He set out witch these people until he arrived in Hamam Umr. Then passing through Dir Ka’ab, they camped at Sabat in the low-lying area of Qantarhah. They spent the night there. In the morning he tried to test the loyalty of his companions to discriminate between friends and foes and to wage a purposive and better-conducted war with Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] and the Syrians. He commanded all of them to rally at a specific spot. When they had assembled, he addressed them:

By God! I believe that by the grace of Allah I am a person with the best motives and intentions as I bear malice towards none, nor do I intend to entertain evil towards anyone in future. Remember, it is always better to express you dislikes while remaining within the party than expressing them while you are split and splintered. Keep it in mind, my friends, that I desire your welfare even better that your own selves. Therefore you should neither oppose me nor contradict my opinion. May God forgive us all, and may He enable you to seek His love and pleasure"!

They looked with amazement at one another when they heard his address and gave vent to wild speculation: What do you think are Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him]’s intentions? They concluded: By God! We guess that he intends to negotiate with Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] and hand over the affairs of Khilafat to him. They added: these people will turn infidels if he does so. Then they attacked his tent, looted his goods and even pulled the prayer mat from under him. Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Jaal Azdi assaulted him, whisked away the shawl from his shoulders. He sat down shawlless on the ground, the sword dangling from his neck, them called for his horse. But his Shias and special companions surrounded him on all sides and protected those he wanted to punish. He told the people to call Rabi and Himlan. When they came, they pushed the people away and he set out on his journey again. He was accompanied by a number of other people as well. When he passed through Muslims Sabat, Jarrah bin Sanan of the Asad tribe attacked him. He held the bride of his horse. He carried a long pointed missle in his hand. He said: God is great! O Hassan, you have committed infidelity as your father had done before you. Then he inflicted a blow on his thigh with a spear. The spear tore thorough the tight and penetrated down to the bone. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] grappled with him and both of them tumbled to the ground. Meanwhile one of the Shias of Hassan leapt towards them. His name was Abdullah bin Khatal Tai. He snatched the spear from Jarrah’s hand and jabbed it into his belly. An other man Zibiyyan bin Ammarah also pounced at him and chopped off his nose. He died instantly. The other man with him was also caught and kille. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] was brought to Madain on a cot, and he stayed at the residence of Saad bin Masud Thaqafi who officially represented the Amir-ul-Mo-minin in Madain. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] had also retained him in the same office. In Madain he devoted his attention towards his treatment. Meanwhile a number of chieftains secretly wrote to Muawiyyah that they were ready to pledge to him. They strongly persuaded him to come to them. They assured him that they would either had over Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] to him as soon as he reached there or kill him. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] also came to know about their secret plan. He received a letter from Hadhrat Qays bin Saad. He had dispatched him to Abdullah bin Abbas [May Allah be pleased with him] on his return from Kufah to meet Hadhrat Muawiyyah and to prevail upon him to keep off Iraq. He had also appointed him the leader of the party and told him that in case of his martyrdom Qays bin Saad would act as the leader. Qays informed him in the letter that they had invited Muawiyyah to a settlement called Hububiyyah. On the other side Hadhrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] sent for Ubaidullah bin Abbas. He fixed a sum of one million dirham as surety. Half of the amount was to be shelled out immediately while the remaining half would be paid in Kufah. Ubaid Ullah moved towards Muawiyya’s army with his special companions during the night. When the people found their leader off the scene, Hadhrat Qais bin Saad led the prayers and acted on his behalf. Hadhrat Hassan realized that the people were determined to humiliate him. He felt that they had switched their loyalties. They ridiculed him as a result of the twist in their motives, accuse him of infidelity, looted his property and legitimized his murder. Most of the people around him were mischief—mongers. They were all out to harm and humiliate him. His own Shias and the Shias of his father were too few to put up a meaningful and effective resistance to the Syrian on-slaught. Hadhrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] dispatched a letter of conciliation to him. He also mentioned in his letter the letters of his companions in which they had expressed their intention of either handing him over or killing him. He offered a package of terms and conditions to bring about a reconciliation, and to agree to these terms was what the times clearly dictated, but Hadhrat Hassan did not trust him and mistook his gesture of sincerity for and ill-conceived pretense, though, on account of the treachery and disloyalty of his companions, the best course for him was to accept his offer of conciliation. I have already stressed the fact that his companions were a bunch of rogues. They were scoundrels and seemed determined to install some one else as their Amir in his place. Most ho them wanted to spill his blood and hand him over to his adversaries. His own cousin was also against him and he wanted to degrade him and pass him over to his opponents. The majority of his companions were inclined towards earthly benefits and rewards and had grown indifferent towards the punishments of the next world. However, Hadhrat Hassan secured the trust and confidence of Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him]. He raise all the objections that could possibly be raised. One of the conditions was that the Amir-ul-Mominin will not be persecuted. During prayers he will not be condemend; the Shias of Ali will not be maltreated and justice will be done to everyone. Hadhrat Muawiyyah accepted all the terms and pledged to fulfil them

Ibn abi al-Hadid adds: When Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him] decided to leave Madain, he addressed the people: You have pledged to me that you will be reconciled to those with whom I am reconciled and you will fight those with whom I fight. By God! At this moment I bear no malice towards any member of my community whether he lives in the east or in the west. You dislike grouping, peace and reconciliation but these are better that rift, fear, spite and enmity which you appear to relish. My father Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] used to say that we should not look down upon the leadership to Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him]because if we discard him, it will be like the irreversible chipping of heads off the shoulders that carry them.

Then he climbed down the pulpit. The people said to him: You have uttered these words because you want to resign and dish out the Khilafat to Hadhrat Muawiyyah. Therefore they flared up, rejected his contention, looted the goods, snatched away his shawl and pounced upon the slave maid who was with him and they splintered into different groups. One group clearly played his tunes while the majority of people supplied the discordant notes. He said:

(O Allah! I need your help)

He ordered the people to march and they marched away. Somebody brought his horse to him and he jumped on it. Some of his friends surrounded him but the others protected him and the march continued. Sanan bin Jarah Asadi accompanied him to Muzlim Sabat and stayed with him. He came closer to him and spoke to him in rather confidential tones. Then he struck his spear at his thigh with such force that it almost touched the bone. He became unconscious and his friends caught him, trying to excel on another.

Shia historian have elucidated that the people who had forced Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him], looted his property and wounded him, belonged to Sabat Madian, the spot to which Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] had Exiled Abdullah bin Saba. They were deeply impressed by the views and beliefs of Ibn Saba and were actively engaged in their dissemination and publicity. They also included Mukhrtar bin abi Ubaid Thaqafi, a victim of Sabaism, who subsequently gained immense reputation and became the self-styled spokesman of the views preached by the dissembling jew, Ibn Saba. The historian have mentioned that when Hassan ibn Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] landed in Madain in wounded state, Mukhtar knew the whole state of affairs. Mukhtar asked him: do you need wealthy and status? He inquired: how is it possible? Mukhtar replied: you should arest Hussain ibn Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] and dispatch him to Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] as a prisoner. Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] replied: may God disgrace you and curse your words! Do you expect me to betray the grandson of the Messenger of Allah?

When Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him] perceived that the Sabaiites threat had acquired ominous proportions, his own Shias were degrading and humiliating him and human blood was spilling all over, he found reconciliation the only way out of the intractable situation. The Shia historian Yaqubi relates that Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him] had lost a large quantity of blood when he was brought to Madain. The malady had taken a serious turn. The people had left him. Hadhrat Muawiyyah came to Iraq and took over the rein of Khilafat. When Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him]

realized that he didn’t have the strength to fight and his friends had deserted him and wee absolutely unwilling to collide with him, he patched up with Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] He ascended the pulpit, praise d the Lord and then addressed the people: you were rewarded with God’s blessing on account of our ancestors but you shed one another’s blood on account of our descendants. Therefore I have patched up with Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] and handed over the Khilafat to him and I can’t say whether it is a test of you faith or a source of benefit for a limited period.

Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] went even a step further. He not only handed over the Khilafat to Hadhrat Muawiyyah, but also pledged fealty at his hand alongwith his brothers and commanders of the army as Kashi has reported from Jafar bin Baqir:

"Muawiyyah wrote to Hazrat Hassan: you, Hazrat Hussain and the companions of Ali should come to see me. Thus when they came to Syria, Qays bin Saad bin Ubadah Ansari was also with them. Hazrat Muqwiyyah gave them permission to enter. He had already churned up an address for the occasion. Muawiyyah said to handed over the Khilafat to him and I can’t say whether it is a test of your faith or a source of benefit for a limited period"

Hazrat Hasan [May Allah be pleased with him] went even a step further. He not only handed over the Khilafat to Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] , but also pledged fealty at his hand alongwith his brothers and commanders of the army as Kashi has reported from Jafar bin Baqir:

"Muawiyyah wrote to Hassan: you, Hussain and the companions of Ali should come to see me. Thus when they came to syria, Qays bin Saad bin Ubadah Ansari was also with them. Muawiyyah gave them permission to enter. He had already churned up an address for the occasion. Muawiyyah said to Hassan: come and pledge to me. Hadhrat Hassan pleedged at his hand. Then he asked Hadhrat Hussain: get up and pledge to him. He also stood up and pledged at his hand. Then he addressed Qays: come and pledge to him. He looked towards Hadhrat Hussain for Orders. He said: pledge at his hand because he (Hassan) is my lmam".

These facts have been endorsed by the Extremist Shia Mulla Baqar Majlisi in his book "Jila-ul Uyyun: written in persian langrage; Among the Shia Abbas Qummi has mentioned them in his "Muntah-il-Amal": it is also written in Persian. Ibn abi al Hadid, too, has recorded it in his book "Sharh Nahj-ul-Balaghah".

Some other Shia Sects sprang out of this episode. Nau Bakhti observes that when Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] they made him the butt of their spiteful criticism, backed out of their belief in his Imamat and affirmed their faith in the will of the people, but the rest of his companions supported his claim to Imamat till his martydom. When he had withdrawn himself from a confrontation with Muawiyyah and had landed in Muzlim Sabat, Jarah bim Sanan attacked him. He held the bridle of his horse in his hand and shouted: God is great! O Hassan! you have committed infidelity – as you father had done before you, and then he inglicted such a heavy blow on his thigh with a spear that his thigh bone was fractured. Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him] also gummed on to him until both of them slumped on the ground. The people pounced at Jarah and squashed him under their feet. They brought Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him] to Madina but the spear-wound was a constatn source of pain and torture. He restrained his anger and bore the pain and greif with fortitude caused by his own followers until he died by the end of Safar in 47 A.H. at the age of forty five years and six mounts. Some of the scholars opine that he was born during Ramadhan in 3 A.H. and the tenure of his Khilafat streteched over six years and five months.

After the patch-up a group of Shias still supported his stand. Therefore, riding on his band-wagon, they also pledged fealty at the hand of Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him] and never wavered in their loyalty and sincerity toward him from 41 A.H. to 60 A.H. The most prominent among this group of Shias were the children of Hadhrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] the children of his children and his wives, Hadhrat Hussain [May Allah be pleased with him] , Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah, Abdullah bin Abbas [May Allah be pleased with him] , the sons of ‘Aqil [May Allah be pleased with him] and Jafar [May Allah be pleased with him] and other distinguished Hashmis who shared and identity of beliefs with the general ren of Muslims and the companions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) they believed that no one should be charged with infidelity and apostasy, that they should make a practical demonstration of unity and solidarity, that hey should paper over their differences and avoid collision and confrontation, that they should strengthen the bonds of mutual love and affection and establish inter-marital relations as has been copiously illustrated in the preceding pages.

One of the groups had detached itself from Hadhrat Hussan and Hussain and affirmed its faith in the Imamat of Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah. This group came to be subsequently know as Kaisaniyyah. Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him]’s pacification with Hazrat Muawiyyah [May Allah be pleased with him]reinforced its strength and stature. The views and beliefs of this sect resembled those of the Sabsais. It evolved with remarkable rapidity and it expanded beyond the expectations and calculations of the people and it provided both encouragement and nourishment to other Shia Sects which directly hatched out of its womb as will be explained later on in greater detail. Nau Bakhti include it among those Sects which sprang up after the martyrdom of Hadhrat Ali and he regards it as one of the Sects which flourished during Hazrat Hassan [May Allah be pleased with him]’s tenure. Nau Bakhti believes that the group who clung to his Imamat after the martydom of Hazrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him] split into three Sects:

Sabaiyyah:

The sect who believed in the Imamat of Muhammad bin Hanigiyyah because on the day of Basrah he, instead of his other brothers, held his father’s flag. This sect was known as Kaisaniyyah. The source of its nomen-clature is that the chief of the sect was Mukhtar bin abi Ubaid Thaqafi and his surname was Kaisan. He demanded revenge for the blood of Hadhrat Hussain bin Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]and put to sword a number of Hussain’s killers and he claimed that he had simply carried out the orders of Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah who obviously was the Imam after his father. Mukhtar was called Kaisan because it was the name of his chief of police whose patronym was Abu Umrah. He praised Mukhtar in both words and deeds beyond all human expectation. He used to assert that Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah was the executor of Hadhrat Ali bin abi Talib and he was also the Imam. Mukhtar was his convenor and administrator. He declared that Ali’s predecessor Claiphs, the residents of Jamal and the residents of Safin were all infidels. He also declared that Gabriel brought him the revelation from Allah but they could not see him. Some scholars have reported that Kaisan was the name of one of Hadhrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]’s slaves whom he had released from bondage. He had provoked him to spill Hussain’s bllood and identified his killers. He was also his confidant, adviser and ruler.

Shahristani has also endorsed the point. He observes that those who believed in a clear specification of Imamat adopted a different course of action after the martydom of Hadhrat Ali [May Allah be pleased with him]. Some of them openly suggested that there existed a clear indication about the Imamt of Hadhrat Ali’s son Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah. These people were called Kaisaniyyah. Those who did not believe in the Imamat of Muhammad bin Hanifiyyah affirmed that the Imamat was restricted to Hadhrat Hassan and Hussain alone. Qadhi Noman Shi’i supports this view. People, however, differ about his identity. It is not absolutely clear whether he belonged to the Fatmi sect or the Ithna Ashriyyah. The opionion of the scholars on the issue is clearly divided. Some of them think

(He is out Imam and executor after Hadhrat Ali. They think that Hassan and Hussain are mutes.)

(Then, relying on exaggeration and mis-statement they propose that he did not die, and he is present in "Sab-i-Ridhwa."

(He is among the lions he is deputed to supervise and he declares that he receives his subsistence form them)

Baghadadi in "Al-Firq Bain-ul-Firq." Ashari in "Maqalat-il- Islamiyyin", Malti in "At-Tanbih", Tazi in "Itiqadat Firq-ul-Muslimiyyin wal Mushrikin", Isfraini in "At-Tabsir", Ibn Khuldun, Ibn Hazm in ‘Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa' wa al-Nihal" and Mirqrizi etc. have referred to the Kaisaniyyah sect of Shias.
