imam nasai ki shahadat
DESCRIPTION
Imam Nasai -shaheed for the Ahl-e-Bayt Imam Nasai lived in the times of Abbasid empire and wrote the first book on the high rank of Imam Ali and the Ahl-e-Bayt. The Ahl-e-sunnah considers Imam Nasai to belong to the category of the highest ranking Hadith scholars, such as Imam Muslim and Imam Tirmidhi. The reason Imam Nasai wrote such a book was becuase it was during his time that Imam Ali (may God enoble is face) was cursed in the mosques of the 'Islamic empire' every Friday by the ruling authorities and the Khwarij. Even though the Ummayads had been overthrown by the Abbasids, things had not changed in Damascus as the Khwarij held considerable influence. Imam Nasai being a lover of the Ahl-e-bayt decided to give a public sermon in Damascus on the high status of the Ahl-e-Bayt. He narrated over a hundred hadiths pertaining to the the noble Ahl-e-Bayt. However, the Khwarij being the instigators of fitna in the ummah asked Imam Nasai to narrate hadiths in favor of Muwaiya Imam Nasai in response to the Khwarij question said that there are no narrations for Muawiyah. Upon this the Khwarij attacked Imam Nasai, which eventually resulted in Imam Nasai's martyrdom.TRANSCRIPT
