The narrations contained in the book "Revealing the True Facts of Yazeed ~ The Incident of KARBALA and the Events that Followed"

Question

I have heard that in your kitaab on the topic of Karbala and Yazeed, the respected author quotes from the book al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah. Such narrations are quoted which ibn-Katheer Rahmatullahi alaihi at the end of the discussion himself says that these narrations are fabricated. Is this true? I sincerely hope that Mufti Saheb will clarify this matter for me and many others who have heard this.

Answer

This is incorrect. The narrations quoted in our kitaab from Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah have been approved by Allama Ibnu Katheer and other Muhadditheen. We have prepared two detailed responses to these queries. The first has been prepared for those who are not Ulama and the second response, being of an academic nature, will be better understood by the Ulama. You may refer to both responses through these links.
