Khalid’s enmity against Ahlebait (a.s.)
and the people of Iraq
Mubarrad has quoted in his book ‘Al Kaamil’ that: When Khalid bin Abdullah e Qasri became the governor of Iraq, he used to curse Ali (a.s.) from the pulpit saying:
“اللھم ۔۔۔ علی بن ابی طالب بن عبد المطلب بن ھاشم، صھر رسول اللہ علی ابنتہ و ابا الحسن و الحسین”,
then he used to address the people and ask: Is it not respectful?[1]
These words depict his enmity against the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) and his Holy Progeny (a.s.).
Walid and his subordinate Khalid bin Abdullah e Qasri, held a special animosity with the Muslims of Iraq. Yaqoobi writes in his history: Walid wrote a letter to his governor Khalid bin Abdullah e Qasri commanding him to remove all the people of Iraq from Hejaz and send them towards Hajjaj bin Yusuf. Hence Khalid sent Othman bin Hayyan e Murri to Medina to remove all those who were from Iraq. He send them with all their relatives and family members towards Hajjaj and did not leave any merchant or non-merchant and announced that whoever gives shelter to an Iraqi will not be spared. As and when he came to know that an Iraqi is living in the house of a person from Medina, he used to exile him. [2]
The Umayyad servants used to build churches, considered the memorization of Quran as the act of idiots, demolished the minarets of the mosques due to their infidelity as per the saying of Farazdaq, set the House of God on fire, ruined the heritage of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and altered the Islamic rules to every possible extent; yet considered themselves as the Caliph of Allah and people used to accept their words without giving it a thought! Do such people possess religious sensibility?!
