Re: Hazrat Yazid Ibn Muavia (RA) First Sermon as an Amir ul Momin
Muawiyah was “tactician” because he would do ANYTHING to stick to government. He would bribe people, threaten people, abuse and curse Imam Ali in juma prayers, and even put Quran on spears. He is the one who used the excuse of revenge of Uthman’s death even though he knew fully well that Imam Ali was not responsible for it nor Imam Ali had the killers among his people.
Imam Ali on the other hand would never do anything immoral and un Islamic, regardless of consequences.

May Allah protect me from and may withhold me from behaving towards mankind the way you have behaved and from tyranny, exploitations and murders that you commit. Take care! You are being madly driven by the lust of wealth, power and vicious indulgence, you are behaving hypocritically against man and Allah. You shall be damned forever.
You pretend that you want to avenge the murder of Caliph Uthman. Do you know who actually killed him and who caused his murder? If really you do so, then seek vengeance on them.
