Mention of the Abbasid State and what has been narrated regarding it

...to drink [wine] on the roof of the Ka'bah, but he was killed before he could achieve his desire.

On the authority of al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf (may Allah be pleased with them): "Was it not among what you recite: (Fight for the sake of Allah at the end of times just as you fought at the beginning)?" He asked: "When will that be?" He replied: "When Banu Umayyah become the rulers and Banu Makhzum become the ministers." Narrated by al-Khatib.

The curse against them by the tongue of their Prophet (ﷺ) has already been mentioned.

However, the path of safety and piety is to remain silent concerning them, and to occupy oneself with one's own faults and with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. For indeed, being preoccupied with them is a major gate among the gates of Satan. How well the poet spoke when he said:

"By your life, my own sins indeed preoccupy me / with myself, rather than the sins of Banu Umayyah."

Do not support them, and may Allah not grant them victory! Whoever walks under any of their banners, Allah the Exalted shall admit him into the Fire on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, they are the worst of Allah's creation, and their followers are the worst of Allah's creation. They claim to belong to me, yet they do not belong to me." Narrated by al-Tabarani.

And on the authority of Thawban, and from Makhul as a mursal report, and from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) as a continuous chain: "What have I to do with Banu al-'Abbas?! They divided my Ummah into factions, shed its blood, and clothed it in black garments; may Allah clothe them in garments of Fire!" Narrated by al-Tabarani.

However, al-Suhrawardi and others have narrated with a good chain of transmission that Jibril (peace be upon him) descended wearing...
