Description :
Al-Nahiyah 'an t'an Amir al-Mu'minin Mu'awiyah - The Prohibition of Slandering Amir al-Mu'awiyah,
radi Allahu ta'ala anhu.
"This long overdue translation of a work by Shaykh Abd al-Aziz Pirharwi, may Allah be pleased with him, fulfills the obligation of revealing knowledge when the Companions are cursed by sectarian individuals and people of weak understanding who lack the principles to interpret history.
The hadith states : 'When tribulations are rampant and my Companions are cursed (by misguided people) the person of knowledge must reveal his knowledge.'
This work refutes aspersions made against Mu'awiya, may Allah be pleased with him. Some of the pious predecessors said regarding him that he is a veil for the Companions, such that when the veil is removed, people subsequently target other Companions.
This work contains a brief overview of the subject, and I recommend it for students of Sunni doctrine. The author also penned Al-Nibras, a commentray of Imam al-Taftazani's Sharh al-'Aqa'id. " ---Shaykh Asrar Rashid.

It provides a concise account of the virtues of our master Mu'awiyah, the events of Siffin, and the legal framework which prohibits the believers from criticising him.
