Salaf As Saalih on a death of a Tyrant. A small thread

Imam Abu Hanifah narrated from his teacher Hammād ibn Sulayman who said : I delivered the good news to Ibrāhīm Al-Nakha’i surrounding the death of al Hajjaj  ibn Yusuf who then prostrated in thanks to Allaah, weeping out of joy.” (Ibn Sa’d in his Tabaqat (6/280) )

Hammād ibn Sulayman is also reported to have said:

When Tawus Ibn Kaysan (a prominent tabi’i who is said to have met dozens of companions) became sure of al Hajjaj’s death, he recited the verse: “so the roots of the people who did wrong were cut off. ++

And all the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord of all that exists” [Al-Qur’ān, 6:45].

Al Ḥasan al Basri (one of the most prominent tabi’een) further fell into thankful prostration whilst hiding, as did ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al ʿAzīz, the “5th rightly guided Caliph“.

(Imam Al Dhahabi’s Siyar a’lam al Nubalaa’ (4/542) )

So next time you hear the death of a tyrant, fascist, oppressor or it's allies make sure to take an example from Salaf As Saalih and prostrate to Rabb al Aalameen and thank him for relieving the Muslims from the evil oppressors and his evil allies. END
