Imam Ibn Hibban رحمہ اللہ said regarding a narrator.
كان حجّاجياً يقول (من خالف الحجاج بن يوسف فقد خالف الإسل
He was Hajjaji (attributing him to Hajjaj bin Yusuf) he used to say that one who opposes Hajjaj, opposes Islam.
[Al Thiqat la ibn Hibban 421/5]
And we have people who say whoever said ill about Yazeed, he said ill about Sahaba.
Imam ibn Taymiyah رحمہ اللہ mentioned about Marwaniyah (attributing to Marwan bin Hakam) almost ten times in Minhaj As Sunnah, He said:
وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الْمَرْوَانِيَّةِ تُفَسِّقُهُ وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ ظَالِمٌ مُعْتَدٍ
And one of the group of "Marwaniyah" declare Saydna Ali رضیﷲ عنه a fasiq and say that Ali رضیﷲ عنه was unjust and oppressor.
[Minhaj As Sunnah 1/544]
Similarly, there was a sect named Yazeediyah hence it has been said about this sect.
[اليزيدية : فرقة منحرفة نشأت سنة 132هـ إثر انهيار الدولة الأموية ، كانت في بدايتها حركة سياسية لإعادة مجد بني أمية ، فما زال بهم الجهل ، وتطور البدع والضلال : حتى خرج بهم عن دين الإسلام ، بالكلية .
فقد بدأت جذور هذه الفرقة بعد معركة كربلاء في عهد يزيد بن معاوية ، وبعد استشهاد الحسين بن علي رضي الله عنه وكثيرين من آل البيت رضي الله عنهم ، فأخذ الشيعة يلعنون يزيداً ويتهمونه بالزندقة وشرب الخمر.
وبعد زوال الدولة الأموية بدأت اليزيدية على شكل حركة سياسية ، فأحبوا يزيد واستنكروا لعنه خاصة ، ثم استنكروا اللعن عامة ، حتى استنكروا لعن إبليس
This sect was a Political group, which came to existence after the fall of the Umayyad dynasty and frequently went in to the bidah (innovations) to the extent that they left the fold of Islam.
This sect began with the martyrdom of Saydna Hussain عليه السلام but they came in to wide picture after the fall of Umayyad to gain the empire again.
When Shia started cursing Yazeed after the incident of Karbala so this sect started to show love and compassion to Yazeed, first they denied on cursing the Yazeed but slowly slowly went against cursing to the extent that they used to deny the curse upon Firaun and iblees, and in the end they started waiting for a new messenger but it all began with the exaggeration in love for Yazeed.
This proves that one who say رحمہ اللہ to Yazeee in the opposition of people cursing Yazeed will start sending blessings upon Firaun and Iblees according to above scenario with Yazeedi sect.
[Al Mawsu'ah al Maysarah fil Adyan wa al Madahib Al Ahzab Al Mu'asarah 1/376-371]
When we read about Yazeediyah then we will get to know that Rafdhiyat and Yazeediyah are the same but their favourite personalities are different.
There was also a sect named Wahabiyah in the past who's attributed to Abdul Wahab bin Abdurrahman bin Rustam and this sect was present in the 2nd Hijri and this sect was known as Wahabiyah and they accepted this title of their sect and even felt proud to be called by this name due to Tawheed.
[ref Majallah al Bahooth al Islamiyah 60/256]
Shaikh Wasil Wasti said:
A person will become Yazeed when he gives the same place equal to Hussain عليه السلام and we do not have such person in us Alhamdulillah, or atleast praise him, we only deem that he was free from the killing of Hussain عليه السلام neither we see him as our leader nor we see him as infallible, so how come we became Yazeedi? how come believing that he was free from the killing of Hussain became that we believe that Yazeed is our leader or murshid.
Shaikh Wasti said: "At least praise him"
We have a group of scholars blindly who deny the existence of the Nawasi even though the orthodox and contemporary book are there to prove the existence of Nawasib and all of the scholars are agreed upon that they exist.
