Hazrat Yazid Ibn Muavia (RA) First Sermon as an Amir ul Momin

[Maverick_27]

@TLK

^ there are school of thoughts that believe that he was not kaafir, but I dont know of any that put Hazrat and RA with his name. RA is reserved for Sahaba and there is only a very weak rivayat that he was born during Prophet last journey to makkah .. but I dont think that he is qualified as sahabi even then. Calling him RA is not approppriate.

We put RA in front of sahaba cause Allah said that he is Raazi with all the sahabas. Non sahaba are not qualified of that rank.

His father, Hazrat Muaviya on the other hand is an established sahabi. He was Ravi of many authentic hadees hence considered amongst the top sahaba. It is sad that Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Muaviya got in a conflict but that does not lower their ranks as sahaba.

i want to make it clear that yazid was not a sahabi… majority of historain say that he was born 25 hijra.
RA means here rehmatullah alle, that we use for tabian and other muslims. he was a pious and learned person as imam bukhari and imam muslim had not mentioned nething negative about him. historain has mentioned mixed opinion him. since majority of tabian and sahaba did bayaat of him i think there is no point we should not place rehmatullah alle after his name.
