About them al-Hasan used to say, "If the people had patience, when
they were being tested by their unjust ruler, it will not be long
before Allaah will give them a way out. However, they always rush
for their swords, so they are left to their swords. By Allaah! Not
even for a single day did they bring about any good."

Siyar A'laam in-Nubalaa (4/343) at the end of his biography, "We
revile him and do not love him, rather we hate him for Allaah. He
had some some good deed, but they are drowned in the ocean of his
sins, and his affair is for Allaah!"
