Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Role of Aishah in the History of Islam (volume Three) Imam 'ali Is Cursed On Islamic Pulpits Imam 'Ali was cursed from the pulpits in all the eastern and westerns parts of the Islamic real in.
The plan of annihilating the Imam's supporters and the propagation of false traditions for the purpose of defaming the good, and attributing a good reputation to the wicked to conform with Mu'awiyah's intentions, was carried out in the 'Who1e of the Islamic realm. Ziyad ibn Abihi and other governors of Mu'awiyah (366) put his order into force and did their utmost to execute it success-fully and wholeheartedly.
Historians have narrated many bloody events related to the deeds of those agents, and the whole of the Umayyad period has witnessed the execution of this policy. Accordingly, to give the Muslims a complete brain-wash, Imam 'Ali was cursed from every pulpit in the east and west of Islamic lands, and only the province of Sistan disobeyed the order of Mu'awiyah, and only once was the Imam cursed from the pulpit there.
Later on the people of this zone made a pact with the Umayyad government that they should be exempted from this order, whereas at the same time the Imam was being cursed from the pulpits in the most powerful cities of Islam, namely Mecca and Medina.(367) Hired orators cursed the noble Imam sometimes in the presence of the Alawite household. History remembers painful incidents related to this matter, but here we confine ourselves to the narration of a single incident.
Ibn Hajar writes in the book of "Taahar al-lisan" that 'Amr ibn al-'As began to criticize Imam 'Ali from the pulpit. He was followed by al-Mughayrah on the pulpit uttering evil words. At this time it was suggested to Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba, who was present there, to climb the-pulpit and answer those two. The Imam stated that he would be willing to do so if the people promise to confirm his words if he told the truth, and if, God forbid, his words were false, they should contradict him.
