Yusuf Circle Sheffield

al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S59) Ameer Muawiya رضي الله عنه appointed Sa’eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه as governor of Madinah. In 50 A.H, Sa’eed lead Imam Hasan’s رضي الله عنهم janazah. Aqeel رضي الله عنه was asked by his son, Muhammad (r.h), who is the noblest of the Quraysh. Aqeel رضي الله عنه replied: “Myself and my mother’s son [Ali رضي الله عنهم]. After this, Sa’eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه is sufficient for you”. Sa’eed رضي الله عنه passed away just before Muawiya رضي الله عنه, around 57-59 A.H - thus he was protected from witnessing the fitnah that ensued. A noble woman was known to give birth to extremely intelligent and wise sons. Muawiya’s رضي الله عنه close circle suggested he should marry her. Muawiya رضي الله عنه did so and the son that was born was Yazeed Ibn Muawiya. Thus we can note that Yazeed had 2 traits: Intelligence and wisdom.
