AN INCIDENT OF APPOINTING AN AMEER

Rasulullaah (SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) once appointed an Ameer. The Ameer went out with the caravan and upon reaching a jungle, he said to his companions (radhiyAllaahu anhum), "Look, I am your Ameer and Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) has said, "who obeyed my

Ameer, he obeyed me, and he who obeyed me, obeyed Allaah". After narrating this hadeeth, he said, "Look I am your Ameer". They replied

that there was no doubt. Then the Ameer ordered them to cut the wood from the trees. All the companions (radhiyAllaahu anhum) cut the wood.

Then he instructed them further that after keeping them in proper order, put grass on them and set fire to the grass and wood. When the fire blazed and the flames went high, the Ameer again said, "I am your Ameer appointed by Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), now I order you to jump into the fire". What was the result of jumping into the fire? It was death. Some of the companions (radhiyAllaahu anhum) pondered that they believed Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) for saving themselves from fire but inspite of it, here was an order to enter the fire. They decided to enquire from Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). So they came to Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and explained the whole situation.

Then Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "had you been entered into the fire, you could have never come out of it. You have done well in asking from me. if the Ameer, my appointee, says the same things which are proven from my hadeeth, then it is valid and if he speaks against it, then you should not obey him.@ Appointing someone as an Ameer is like making someone an Imaam in salaat. If the Imaam (leader of the prayer) makes a mistake while leading the prayer,the followers should correct him.

So, if the Ameer commits a mistake, correct him." And said, "had you been entered into fire, you could have never come out, and as a

result your place would have been in Hell forever

As a Muslim our first point of reference is Quran then hadis then Ijma of Scholars

So when we get some facts from these sources it overrides any available evidence which is not amongst 3 mentioned above

Lets Come back to YAZEED ISSUE NOW and lets look at Both sides

Supporters of Baith of Yazeed and ones who dont Support

Supporters of Yazeed

1. Yazeed was Ruler , hence baith had to be given

2. Hadis say those who attack city of Constantinople will go to heaven, yazeed was a part of that hence he is supported in hadis

instead of giving innumerable hadis from Supporters of Imam Hussein lets first see how true these 2 points above are ..
