closed behind him, until he came in front of a very beautiful and attractive lady. A boy was standing near to her and there was a large glass vessel there containing alcohol. The woman said to the worshipper, ‘I have not called you here to testify, rather, I want you to murder this boy and indulge in fornication with me or drink this wine, and if you refuse, I will scream loudly and disgrace you.’ When the man realised that he had no way to escape from this difficult situation, he said: give me a glass of alcohol to drink. The lady made him drink the alcohol and he asked for more. He continued drinking in this manner until he committed fornication with the woman and also murdered the boy.’ Therefore, you must continue refraining from alcohol. By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Iman (faith) and the habit of drinking alcohol cannot coexist in a person’s heart; Indeed! one will soon remove the other.’ (Ibn Habbaan, vol. 7, p. 367, Hadith 5324)

Second evil of Yazeed - music and songs

O devotees of the Companions and Ahl-ul-Bait! Another evil that Yazeed the wretched was indulged in, was listening to songs and music, whereas listening to songs and music is impermissible, strictly forbidden and an act leading to Hell.

This evil act has been prohibited in blessed Ahadees. Let’s listen to three narrations regarding this:

1.   On the day of judgement, Allah Almighty will pour molten lead into the ears of the one who listens to music. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, Juz 15, vol. 8, p. 96, Hadith 40662) 

2.   Save yourself from songs and music, because they incite the feelings of lust, destroy modesty, and they are akin to alcohol, having the efficacy of intoxication. (Tafseer Dar Mansoor, part 21, Al-Qamaan, under the verse 6, vol. 6, p. 506, Shu’ab-ul-Iman, Bab Fi Hafiz-ul-lasaan, vol. 4, p. 270, Hadith 5108)
