Al-Kāfi - The Book - Garden (of Flowers) Chapter: Three things are of the prestige of believers َحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلا٠) يَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَّ فَخْرُ الْ٠ِنِ وَ زَيْنُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَأْسُهُ ٠َّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ وَلَايَتُهُ الْإِ٠) قَالَ وَ ثَلَاثَةٌ هُ٠ْ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِ٠ْ خِيَارُ الْخَلْقِ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَحَدُهُ٠ْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ ٠ُعَاوِيَةُ قَاتَلَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلا٠) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاتَلَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلا٠) وَ عَادَاهُ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ.

And the three who are the most evil of creation by whom the best of creation was plagued are Abu Sufyan who fought against the Messenger of Allah (sw) and opposed him, and Muawiya who fought against Ali (AS) and opposed him, and Yazid bin Muawiya, may Allah curse him, who fought against Al-Husayn bin Ali (AS) and opposed him until he killed him’.
