Mohanna ibn Yahya (student of Imam Ahmad) narrates, he says, I asked Imam Ahmad ibn Hambal about Yazeed.
Imam ibn Hambal said: He was the one responsible for the things happened in Madinah.

Then i said: What did he (Yazeed) do?

Imam Ahmad said: He looted Madinah.

Mohanna (bin Yahiya) says, i further asked to Imam Ahmad: Can we narrate hadith from Yazeed?

Imam Ahmad said: We cannot narrate any hadith from him and it is not permissible for any one to narrate even a single hadith from him (Yazeed).

Mohanna (bin Yahiya) says, i asked: Who was with him when the incident of Madinah took place?

Imam Ahmad said: Ahle Shaam (People of Shaam) were with him (Yazeed).
