He opened his eyes and witnessing Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) said: I am repentant of all my past deeds and seek God’s forgiveness for them, except the abuses which I hurled at your father, for which I am not repentant. When Waleed fell ill, Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) paid him a visit. When the infidels were defeated, Aqabah was taken captive and brought before the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), who ordered Amir Al-Mu’minin (peace be upon him) to put him to death.Ĭonsequently, his son Waleed, who had been appointed the governor of Kufah during the caliphate of U'thman, always harboured malice towards Amir Al-Mu’minin (peace be upon him) and continued to abuse him (peace be upon him) throughout his life. He had joined the ranks of the infidels in the battle of Badr.

2 1) Maliciousness Of WaleedĪ’qabah, the father of Waleed (the governor of Kufah), had once spat upon the face of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) in Mecca. A malicious person, because of the fact that he cannot prevail over his opponent or has been insulted, abused, suffered false allegations or has been deprived of rank or riches, continues to harbour enmity towards a person and awaits for an opportune and sensitive moment when he can overcome and destroy him.Ī malicious person, upon witnessing the person whom he resents, is always disturbed the flames of malice and acrimony, if not checked, would only intensify to an extent that when the faculty of reason and intellect gets overpowered by the faculty of anger, man, God forbid, perpetrates an act, repentance over which does not yield any benefit.Ī Mu'min is never malicious and vindictive, either entrusting the evils committed by a person to God, or pardoning and disregarding them – always seeking assistance from the faculty of reason so as to prevent himself from burning in the flames of malice and rancour. “A Mu'min is never malicious” 1 Short Explanation
