Mention of what has been narrated regarding al-Hakam ibn Abi al-'As

The author's clarification of what is meant by the exception indicated in the hadith: "except the righteous among them"

And on the authority of 'Imran ibn Jabir al-Hanafi, who was one of the delegation, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Woe to the Banu Umayyah!" (three times).

And on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed al-Hakam and his offspring, except the righteous among them, and they are few.

And on the authority of 'Amr ibn Murrah al-Juhani, who said: Al-Hakam ibn Abi al-'As sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he recognized his voice, so he said: "Grant him permission to enter. A serpent, or the son of a serpent! May the curse of Allah be upon him and upon all who emerge from his loins, except the believer among them, and how few they are!"

I say: This exception is an allusion to 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz and those like him among them. They are honored in this world and abased in the Hereafter; people of deceit and treachery, they are magnified in this world, yet they have no share in the Hereafter.

And on his authority, while he was circumambulating the Ka'bah: "By the Lord of this Structure! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed al-Hakam and whatever he fathered."

And on the authority of Abu Yahya al-Nakha'i, who said: I was between al-Hasan and al-Husayn while al-Husayn and Marwan were exchanging insults, and al-Hasan began restraining al-Husayn. Then Marwan said: "You are an accursed household!" Thereupon al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and said: "Did you say 'an accursed household'? By Allah, Allah cursed you upon the tongue of His Prophet (ﷺ) while you were yet in your father's loins!"

And in another wording: "Allah cursed your father upon the tongue of His Prophet (ﷺ) while you were in his loins."

And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I saw...
