Imam Nafs- az-Zakiyah


The introduction discusses the beginning of when the Ummah first experienced its first set of illegitimate rulers. It then talks about how Imam Hussain (as) opposed Yazid's secular/kufr rule, and was killed because he tried to install an Islamic government for the Ummah. Later many prominent Islamic figures such as Imam Zayd bin Ali, Wasil ibn Ata and Imam Jafar as Sadiq (as) discussed what should be done against the illegitimate rulers of their time. When Imam Zayd bin Ali (as) revolted against the tyrant of his time, his opposition gave the same result as his grandfather Imam Hussain (as), which was a combination of death and humiliation in the dunya.

Imam Nafs Az Zakiyah (as) is a descendant of Imam Hassan (as). He participated in the revolts of Imam Zayd bin Ali (as) and Imam Yahya bin Zayd (as). Now he wanted to lead a revolt against the illegitimate government which ruled over the Ummah.

I have some other sources on Imam Nafs az Zakiyah (as).
I asked Syed Ninowy about this personality and he gave me a summary.

Imam Muhmmad al Nafs Az Zakiyah (as)

Name: Muhammad bin Abdullah
Titles: Abdul Qasim, Al Mahdi, Nafs-az-Zakiyah
Linage: Imam Nafs-Zakiyah (as). is the son of Abdullah ibn Hassan ibn Hassan bin Ali AS.gif bin Abi Talib.
Characteristics and Physical appearance In terms of physical appearance and motivation he resembled his great grand uncle Hazrat Hamza ibn Abdul Mutalib (as) .

During Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah's AS time the Abbasids ruled the Islamic world. These rulers were tyrants who took power by the sword, and so their rule was considered to be illegitimate. Therefore, Imam Nafs-Az-Zakiyah (as) decided to oppose this illegitimate form of government. Among his prominent supporters were Imam Jafar As-Sadiq AS.gif , his two sons Musa and Abdullah, Imam Zaid's bin Ali's AS.gif sons Hussain and Isa and many others. According Isfahani book Maqatil al-Talibiyyin he details on Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah revolts and emphasizes on Imam Jafar as Sadiq (as) allowing his two sons Abdullah and Musa, to join the revolt along with other alids. In 145AH Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah, he took out the Zhuliqar (double sword) of his great grandfather Imam Ali (as) , and declared a war against the Abbasid ruler Mansoor. However, just like previous two Karbala events in which Imam Hussain (as) and Imam Zaid fought, Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah was left with a fewer supporters of 313 troops, and as a result he was overpowered by opposing side. In his life time Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah (as) wrote a few books, but he told his family if he dies they have to burn his books because it contained a lot of spiritual secrets. He warned them that if the Abbasids got a hold of those books they would have learned many spiritual secrets and known about the future events.
His Martyrdom
Before his martyrdom he gave his family two signs to recognize either if he will either become victorious or be a martyr. According to narrations Imam Nafs-Az-Zakiyah AS.gif is reported to have said

Notice when goes away when it sets and sky starts raining then know that I have been martyred. If the sun has set and the sky has not rained then know that I have been victorious (Isfahani) ...
Unfortunately, the first sign came true, and Imam Nafs-az-Zakiyah achieved martyrdom.

Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Hassan Musanna bin Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib, who is known in Islamic history as Nafs az-Zakiyya, was one of the heroes of Ahl al-Bayt and a contemporary of Hazrat Jaafar al-Sadiq (Radhi Allaho Anho) who had revolted against Abbasids in 145 A.H. He established his caliphate in Medina al-Munawwara and the surrounding areas. Isa bin Moosa, the Abbasid general, was sent from Baghdad with a strong force to crush his rebellion. When the Medinans saw the strong force, many tribes left him one by one until he was left with only 313 followers. Nafs Al-Zakiyya was martyred at a place called Ahjar-uz-Zayt (a place which is not part of the Masjid an-Nabawi ash-Sharif). His Mazar used to be near the old SAPTCO Bus Stand. (The bus stand had also been demolished since a year). His Mazar was demolished by the Wahhabi militants in 1925. There is a Hadith Sharif narrated by Hazrat Abu Zar Al-Ghifari (Radhi Allaho Anho) wherein the Messenger of Allah pbuh.gif had said: “How will you feel when one of my sons will be butchered near Ahjar az-Zayt?” – which indicated the prophecy of Rasool Allah pbuh.gif about his martyrdom. Nafs Az-Zakiyyah was the great grand-uncle of Sayyaduna Ghaus-e-Azam from his father’s side. It is also worth mentioning that Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifa (Radhi Allaho Anho) and Hazrat Imam Malik (Radhi Allaho Anho) had extended their support to him. Imam Abu Hanifa had provided him funds to the amount of 20,000 Dinars – a step that earned him the wrath of the Abbasids. Behind the punishment of both these Imams at the hands of the Abbasids, was that both of them had provided moral and material support to Nafs az-Zakiyya. More details can be found in Ibn Atheer’s Al-Kamil Fit-Tareekh and Abn Katheer’s Al-Badaya wan-Nahayah.

The history of ahl-ul bait is series of misery, pain and sorrow!! They lived their life fighting to protect Islam from those who tried to change the real principles and rules of Islam to match their own needs!! And whoever is trying to follow them is suffering too; up to this day!!
