The Ya''furiyya Shia (named for Muhammad ibn Ya''fur, to whom they were related) was a Ghulat sect of Shia Islam. The sect was also referred to as the Mu''ammariyya Shia. The Ya''furiyya believed in Reincarnation and a man named Mu''ammar al-Kufi to be their Lord. They believed that adultery, wine, amusements and all the other forbidden things (in Islam) to be lawful. According to the Ya''furiyya, the reason why Muhammad forbade these amusements and rewards was to prevent the Muslims from then thinking that they had achieved their reward in its complete entirety. This would have then made the Muslims commit fewer acts that would be worthy of the true worldly rewards (by way of the distractions of the amusements and rewards), and more acts that would result in the worldly punishments and transmigration of spirits into beast and reptiles. It would have also required the Muslims to work harder and do more good deeds to maintain their deserving position of the worldly rewards.
