وأما يزيد بن معاوية فالناس فيه طرفان ووسط، وأعدل الأقوال الثلاثة فيه أنه كان ملكا من ملوك المسلمين له حسنات وسيئات ولم يولد إلا في خلافة عثمان رضي الله عنه، ولم يكن كا فر ا ولكن جرى بسببه ما جرى من مصرع الحسين وفعل ما فعل بأهل الحرة، ولم يكن صاحبا ولا من أولياء الله الصالحين.
People acquired two extreme opinions and another group of people have a balanced view regarding Yazeed and the most correct opinion among these three is that Yazeed did some bad things and he also did good things as well, he was born during the caliphate of Saydna Uthman رضیﷲ عنه, and he was not a disbeliever and he was the reason behind killing of Saydna Hussain عليه السلام and the incident of Harrah and he was not the companion of Prophet Mohammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, not even from the awliya and righteous.
