Two more Prophetic Prophesies regarding Mu’awiyah

Abu Abdullah e Basri, the Mo’tazeli cleric, narrates from Nasr bin Aasim e Leethi, who narrates from his father that he said: I entered the Prophet’s Mosque and heard the people say: We seek refuge from the wrath of Allah and His Messenger.

          I asked: What happened?

          They said: Just now Mu’awiyah stood up, caught the hand of Abu sufiyan and left the mosque. At that time, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: ‘May Allah curse both the follower and the followed. How many days of difficulties will this nation face because of this broad shouldered Mu’awiyah!’

          Moreover, Alaa bin Hareez bin Qasheeri narrates that the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said to Mu’awiyah:

          ‘O Mu’awiyah! Verily you will bring the Bid’ah (changes) in place of tradition and will prefer the evil over good, your diet will be heavy and your oppressions will be great’.[1]

             In the first prophecy, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) cursed upon Abu Sufiyan and Mu’awiyah and foretold the upcoming of difficult days for the nation due to Mu’awiyah. These words were said by the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) before the people with great anger and fury.

          And in the second prophecy, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) not only regarded Mu’awiyah as the initiator of Bid’ah, but he also said: ‘you will present the evil deeds in the form of good before the people and oppress them’.

          In another prophecy, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) regards Amr e Aas to be the partner and supporter of Mu’awiyah and when they group together, they will not pursue anything but conspiracies and plots. Therefore he said: ‘Whenever you see them together, separate them’. One day, both of them were found singing in loud voice and this was why the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) cursed them and asked the Almighty to make them a member of the people of Hell.
