Imam Ibn Katheer (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) in Bidayah wan Nihayah
Imam Tabari (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) in Tarikh Tabari.
Translation: Abu Muhnaf relates on the authority of Abu Hamza Thimali, who relates on the authority of Abdullah Yamani, who relates on the authority of Qasim, who said:
When the blessed head of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) was placed before Yazid, he had a stick in his hands with which he started poking at the teeth of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him).
Then he said:
“Verily, ours and his example is as said by Hisseen bin Hamam Mari: Our swords smash the skulls of those who have strength and domination over us; and of those who are really disobedient and oppressors."
Hadhrat Abu Bazrah Aslami
(May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) said:
Listen O Yazid! By Allah! Your stick is touching that spot, which I witnessed the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) used to kiss. Then he said: Beware, O Yazid! On the day of judgment, Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) will arrive with such grandeur that his intercessor will be the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and you will arrive in such a state that Ibn Zyad will be yours."
In Bidayah wan Nihayah, Vol 8, Pg No. 215, at the end of the aforementioned Hadith, it is mentioned,
Translation:
At that time, Hadhrat Abu Bazrah Aslami (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) said:
Remove your stick! By Allah! I have often seen the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) place His mouth on the mouth of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) and kiss it.
WE FEARED THAT STONES WOULD FALL FROM THE SKY
Due to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him), the people of Madina became strongly opposed to Yazid and pledged their allegiance to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him).
Yazid sent an army to attack Madina, which attacked the people of Madina and persecuted its citizens. On that occasion, Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) spoke to the people of Makkah and described the un-islamic activities of Yazid.
Hadhrat Muhammad bin Sa'ad (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) who is a Muhaddith as well as a historian, has written in Tabaqaat e Kubra, Vol 5 Pg No. 66.
The people of Madina agreed to pledge their allegiance to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) and gave him authority over their affairs. He took the pledge from them to fight till their last breath. Then he said:
O my community! Fear Allah, who has got not equal. By Allah! We stood up against Yazid, when we feared that stones would be rained on us from the sky. He is such a person, who declares marriage with mothers, daughters and sisters as permissible (Jayaz), who drinks wine and abandons Salaat. By Allah! If no one from the people supported me, even then I will use my courage and bravery in this matter for the sake of Allah SWT."
WE COME FROM SUCH A PERSON WHO HAS GOT NO DEEN
Imam Abu Ja'afar Muhammad bin Jarir Al Tabari (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him), writes in Tarikh Tabari, Vol 1, Pg No. 403:
They (the delegation from the people of Madina, after returning from Yazid) said:
"We come from such a person, who has got no Deen. He drinks wine, plays tambourines, songstresses dance before him, he plays with dogs and listens to stories with thieves and rascals. O people! We make you a witness that we break our pledge given to him. Then all the people of Madina broke their pledge. People came to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him)and pledged their allegiance to him.
Imam Ibn Atheer (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) writes in Tarikh Kamil Vol 3, Pg no. 337,
The great Tabi'e Hadhrat Hasan Basri (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) says about Yazid: He was a drunkard of the last degree, he wore silk and played with tambourines."
He was so addicted to wine that he did not stop it even when he reached Madina Munawwarah in Hajj and started drinking there as well.
It is written in Tarikh Kamil, Vol 3 Pg No. 465
Translation: Yazid performed Hajj in the life of his father. When he reached Madina Munawwarah, he started drinking wine."
Imam Ibn Katheer
(May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him)
writes in Bidayahwan Nihayah,
Vol 6, Pg No. 262:
Translation:
The reason for the incident of Hira is that a delegation from Madina went to Damascus to meet Yazid. When they returned, they related Yazid's habit of drinking and his other bad habit to their families. The worst among his habit was that he missed Salaat because of wine.
For this reason, the people of Madina agreed to break their pledge of allegiance. They declared this near the Prophet's Pulpit in Masjid Nabawi.
When Yazid came to know this, he sent an army to Madina Munawwarah. The leader of the army was a person named Muslim bin 'Uqba.
The Pious Elders (Salaf Saliheen) have also addressed this person as Musrif bin 'Uqba. When he entered Madina, he declared the lives of the Madinians and their property as "Mubah" for 3 days, which meant that for 3 days, the army could do whatever they liked with the lives and the property of the people of Madina. Thus, in those 3 days, he martyred hundreds of people.
There is Tradition in Imam Baihaqi's Dalaail Un Nabuwwa
Translation:
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Mugheera (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) that Musrif bin 'Uqba looted Madina for 3 days and raped 1000, unwed, chaste daughters of Islam.
It is written in Tabaqat Al kubra, Vol 5, Pg No.66:
Muslim bin 'Uqba attacked Madina with his army. Yazid's army martyred 700 Hafidh of the Holy Quran, raped 1000 unwed, chaste Muslim women and for 3 days, there could not be any Adhaan and Salaat in Masjid Nabawi.

As-Suyuti, Tarikh ul Khulafa, Page No. 167
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...
Reference: As-Suyuti, Tarikh ul Khulafa, Page No. 167
ALLAH'S CURSE IS ON THE ONE
WHO FRIGHTENS
THE PEOPLE OF MADINA
Yazid ordered the ravaging of Madina Munawwarah, public killings, when there are severe warnings in Hadith for those just who frighten the people of Madina Munawwarah.
There is a Hadith in Musnad Ahmed, Musnad madaniyyen Hadith No. 15962.
Translation:
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Saib bin Khalad (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Whoever frightens the people of Madina by their oppression, Allah SWT will frighten him and on him rests the curse of Allah SWT, of the angels and of all the people. Allah SWT will not accept any obligatory (Fardh) of optional (nafl) act from such a person the Day of Judgment.
It can be imagined what will be the lot of the person who not only frightened the people of Madina but spilled blood and ravaged Madina and gave permission to the whole army for their animalistic deeds.
YAZID'S ARMY STONED THE KA'ABA
Afterwards, Yazid ordered the army to attack the Ka'aba in Makkah. Accordingly, Yazid's army set up their cannons and stoned the Ka'aba, because of which the curtain of the Ka'aba caught fire.
It is written in Tarikh Kamil, Vol 3, Pg. No. 464:
"To the extent that when 3 days of Rabe'e ul Awwal passed, they stoned the Ka'aba with their cannons, burnt it and started singing thus:
"We have tremendous power and courage; we stone this Masjid with cannons."
----
In the basic tract of beliefs (Aqaaid), which is taught in most Madrasas, Sharh Aqaaid Nasafi,
Imam Sa'aduddin Taftazani (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) writes:
"Some Imams, because of ordering the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, declare him as a disbeliever (kafir) and defector (murtad), and hold cursing Yazid as permissible.
The scholars of this Ummah are in agreement on the permissibility of cursing those martyred Imam Hussain and those who ordered it or those consider it (the martyrdom) as permissible and those who became happy on it.
The fact is that Yazid's agreement on the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, his being happy with it and his insulting the Ahle Bait is well established by those traditions, which are in effect, equal to the "mutawatir" (popular) Traditions, even though its details may not be established by a first-hand report (Khabr Wahid). So we cannot exercise restraint on Yazid, but we will exercise restraint about the Iman of Yazid.
May Allah curse him and his helpers."
SHARIAH RULING ON ADDRESSING YAZID WITH
("RAZIALLAHU ANU")
The words "raziallahu anhu" are used to signify Allah's pleasure. They are used as a form of respect to praise somebody.
"Raziallahu anhu" is used specially for the Sahabah and for those pure souls, whose hearts are filled with fear and awe of Allah SWT, as Allah SWT himself says: Surah Bayyinah-08.
The aforementioned Hadith and the interpretations of the Imams make it clear that Yazid was wretched. He changed the Sunnah, he cast a crack in the Deen.
He insulted the Haramain, he insulted the Ahle Bait. Using "raziallahu anhu" for such a person is to respect him and this is equal to destroying the edifice of Islam.
This is to invite Allah's anger and misguidance. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has declared respecting an innovator (bida'ati) as helping to destroy the edifice of Islam.
There is a Hadith in Imam Tabarani's Mo'jam ausat (Hadith No: 6263).
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqua (May Allah SWT be well pleased with her) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
"Whoever respects an innovator, verily he helps in destroying Islam."
There is a Hadith in Imam Baihaqi's Shu'abul Iman:
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
When a innovator (bid’ati) is respected, Allah SWT expresses His anger and because of it, the 'Arsh trembles."

PUNISHMENT FOR THE ONE WHO ADDRESSES YAZID AS
("RAZIALLAHU ANHU")
The just Caliph of Bani Ummayyah, Hadhrat Umar bin Abdul 'Aziz
(May Allah SWT be well pleased with him)
declared the person who addressed Yazid as "Raziallahu anhu" as liable to be punished.
This is written in "Tahdheeb ul Tahdheeb", the authoritative book on Rijal (the science of the classification of men, for the purpose of categorizing the Hadith), by
Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani, in Vol 11, the letter "ya", Pg No. 316.
Imam Ibn HajarHaitamu has written in "As Sawaiiq Al Muhriqa" on Pg No. 132 and
Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) in Tarikh ul Khulafa
Pg No. 166.
Nouful bin Abu Aqrab states that,
“I was in the presence of Hadhrat Umar bin Abdul 'Aziz (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him), one person while talking about Yazid said,
"Amir Ul Momineen Yazid said so and so and Amir Ul Momineen said so and so"
Hadhrat Umar bin Abdul 'Aziz (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) said
"You address Yazid as ‘Amir Ul Momineen’?" and ordered that he should be lashed 20 times. Hence, he was lashed 20 times."
This so called "scholar" finds it amusing!
"On him is what he deserves!"
La'anat upon you and your followers!

Imam Badruddin 'Aini
(May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him)
writes in the interpretation of the Hadith:
"My Ummah will be destroyed at the hands of a few lads of Quraish..."
Yazid was the first among those lads and wrote along with Yazid's name:
"On him is what he deserves!"
