So, I said: “What makes you cry, O enemy of Allah?!” So, he said: “How can I not weep when I am robbing the daughter of the Messenger of Allah?!” So, I said: “Do not rob me.” He said: “I fear someone else may take it.” She said: They took everything in the buildings to the point where they even took the cloaks off our backs.

3 - حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا عبد العزيز ابن يحيى البصري، قال: أخبرنا محمد بن زكريا، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يزيد، قال: حدثني أبو نعيم، قال: حدثني حاجب عبيد الله بن زياد، أنه لما جيئ برأس الحسين (عليه السلام) أمر فوضع بين يديه في طست من ذهب، وجعل يضرب بقضيب في يده على ثناياه ويقول: لقد أسرع الشيب إليك يا أبا عبد الله. فقال رجل من القوم: مه، فإني رأيت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يلثم حيث تضع قضيبك. فقال: يوم بيوم بدر. ثم أمر بعلي بن الحسين (عليه السلام) فغل، وحمل مع النسوة والسبايا إلى السجن، وكنت معهم، فما مررنا بزقاق إلا وجدناه ملئ رجالا ونساء، يضربون وجوههم ويبكون، فحبسوا في سجن وطبق (2) عليهم. ثم إن ابن زياد (لعنه الله) دعا بعلي بن الحسين (عليه السلام) والنسوة، وأحضر رأس الحسين (عليه السلام)، وكانت زينب بنت علي (عليه السلام) فيهم، فقال ابن زياد: الحمد لله الذي فضحكم وقتلكم، وأكذب أحاديثكم. فقالت زينب: الحمد لله الذي أكرمنا بمحمد وطهرنا تطهيرا، إنما يفضح الله الفاسق ويكذب الفاجر. قال: كيف رأيت صنع الله بكم أهل البيت؟ قالت: كتب عليهم القتل، فبرزوا إلى مضاجعهم، وسيجمع الله بينك وبينهم فتتحاكمون عنده. فغضب ابن زياد (لعنه الله) عليها، وهم بها، فسكن منه عمرو بن حريث، فقالت زينب: يا بن زياد، حسبك ما ارتكبت منا، فلقد قتلت رجالنا، وقطعت أصلنا، وأبحت حريمنا، وسبيت نساءنا وذرارينا، فإن كان ذلك للاشتفاء فقد  اشتفيت. فأمر ابن زياد بردهم إلى السجن، وبعث البشائر إلى النواحي بقتل الحسين (عليه السلام). ثم أمر بالسبايا ورأس الحسين (عليه السلام) فحملوا إلى الشام، فلقد حدثني جماعة كانوا خرجوا في تلك الصحبة: أنهم كانوا يسمعون بالليالي نوح الجن على الحسين (عليه السلام) إلى الصباح، وقالوا: فلما دخلنا دمشق أدخل بالنساء والسبايا بالنهار مكشفات الوجوه، فقال أهل الشام الجفاة: ما رأينا سبايا أحسن من هؤلاء، فمن أنتم؟ فقالت سكينة بنت الحسين (عليه السلام): نحن سبايا آل محمد. فأقيموا على درج المسجد حيث يقام السبايا، وفيهم علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام)، وهو يومئذ فتى شاب، فأتاهم شيخ من أشياخ أهل الشام، فقال لهم: الحمد لله الذي قتلكم وأهلككم وقطع قرن الفتنة. فلم يأل عن شتمهم، فلما انقضى كلامه، قال له علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام): أما قرأت كتاب الله عز وجل؟ قال: نعم. قال: أما قرأت هذه الآية (قل لا أسئلكم عليه أجرا إلا المودة في القربى) (1)؟ قال: بلى. قال: فنحن أولئك. ثم قال: أما قرأت (وءات ذا القربى حقه) (2)؟ قال: بلى. قال: فنحن هم. قال: فهل قرأت هذه الآية: (إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس أهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا) (3)؟ قال: بلى. قال: فنحن هم. فرفع الشامي يده إلى السماء، ثم قال: اللهم إني أتوب إليك. ثلاث مرات، اللهم إني أبرأ إليك من عدو آل محمد، ومن قتلة أهل بيت محمد، لقد قرأت القرآن فما شعرت بهذا قبل اليوم. ثم أدخل نساء الحسين (عليه السلام) على يزيد بن معاوية، فصحن نساء آل يزيد وبنات معاوية وأهله، وولو لن وأقمن المأتم، ووضع رأس الحسين (عليه السلام) بين يديه، فقالت سكينة: والله ما رأيت أقسى قلبا من يزيد، ولا رأيت كافرا ولا مشركا شرا منه  ولا أجفى منه، وأقبل يقول وينظر إلى الرأس: ليت أشياخي ببدر شهدوا * * جزع الخزرج من وقع الاسل ثم أمر برأس الحسين (عليه السلام)، فنصب على باب مسجد دمشق، فروي عن فاطمة بنت على (عليه السلام)، أنها قالت: لما أجلسنا بين يدي يزيد بن معاوية رق لنا أول شئ وألطفنا، ثم إن رجلا من أهل الشام أحمر قام إليه، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، هب لي هذه الجارية. يعنيني، وكنت جارية وضيئة، فأرعبت وفرقت (1)، وظننت أنه يفعل ذلك، فأخذت بثياب أختي، وهي أكبر مني وأعقل، فقالت: كذبت والله ولعنت، ما ذاك لك ولا له. فغضب يزيد (لعنه الله) فقال: بل كذبت والله، لو شئت لفعلته. قالت: لا والله، ما جعل الله ذلك لك، إلا أن تخرج من ملتنا وتدين بغير ديننا. فغضب يزيد (لعنه الله)، ثم قال: إياي تستقبلين بهذا؟! إنما خرج من الدين أبوك وأخوك. فقالت: بدين الله ودين أخي وأبي وجدي اهتديت أنت وجدك وأبوك. قال: كذبت يا عدوة الله. قالت: أمير يشتم ظالما ويقهر بسلطانه. قالت: فكأنه (لعنه الله) استحيى فسكت، فأعاد الشامي (لعنه الله) فقال يا أمير المؤمنين، هب لي هذه الجارية. فقال له: اغرب (2)، وهب الله لك حتفا قاضيا (3).

Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq (rh) narrated to us. He said: `Abd al-`Aziz b. Yahya al-Basri narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Zakariyya informed us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Yazid narrated to us. He said: Abu Na`im narrated to me.  He said: A doorkeeper of `Ubaydullah narrated to me: When the head of al-Husayn (as) came, it was placed in a golden pan. He prodded it with a stick in his hand, saying: Gray hair has hastened to you, O Aba `Abdillah. So, a man from the people said: Stop, for surely, I saw the Messenger of Allah (s) kiss where you are prodding your stick. So, he said: A day [of revenge] for the day of Badr. Then, he called for `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) to be chained up, and he was taken with the women and the girls to the jail, and I was with them. We did not pass by an alleyway except that we saw it full of men and women hitting their faces and weeping. They were imprisoned in the jail, and it was made narrow for them. Then, Ibn Ziyad (la) called for `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) and his women. The head of al-Husayn (as) was present. Zaynab bt. `Ali (as) was among them. So, Ibn Ziyad said: Praise be to Allah who has exposed you, killed you, and belied your narrations. So, Zaynab said: Praise be to Allah who ennobled us with Muhammad and purified us with a thorough purification. Allah will only expose the transgressor and bely the wretched. He said: How do you see what Allah has done with you, the Ahl al-Bayt? She said: Being killed had been ordained for them, so they have gone into their place of rest. So, Allah will gather you and them, and you will be judged by Him. So, Ibn Ziyad (la) became angry with her and concerned with her. `Amr b. Harith calmed him down. So, Zaynab said: O Ibn Ziyad! What you have perpetrated against us is enough for you, for you have killed our men, cut off our foundation, made our women permissible, and taken our women and our children into captivity. If that satisfies you, then you have been made satisfied. So, Ibn Ziyad ordered them back to the jail, and he sent the glad tidings of the killing of al-Husayn (as) to the frontiers. Then, he called for the girls and the head of al-Husayn (as), and they were taken to the Levant. A group that went out with that troop narrated to me: Throughout the nights, they would hear the lament of the Jinn over al-Husayn (as) until the break of dawn. They said: When we entered Damascus, the women and the girls were brought in in daylight with their faces uncovered. The cold people of the Levant said: We have never seen girls more beautiful than these. Who are you? So, Sakina bt. al-Husayn (as) said: We are the girls of the Family of Muhammad. So, they went to the stairs of the mosque where the girls were made to stand; and among them was `Ali b. al-Husayn (as), who, on that day, was a young man. An elder from the elders of the people of the Levant came to them and said to them: Praise be to Allah who killed you, destroyed you, and cut off the age of sedition. He did not stop insulting them. When he finished his words, `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) said to him: Have you not read the Book of Allah? He said: Yes. He said: Have you not read this verse, “Say: I do not ask you for a reward for this except that you love those near of kin.” (42:23) He said: Of course. He said: So, we are them. Then, he said: Did you not read, “And give to those near of kin their right” (17:26)? He said: Of course. He said: So, we are them. He said: Did you not read this verse, “Allah only desires to keep the uncleanness away from you, O people of the House, and to purify you with a thorough purification” (33:33)? He said: Of course. He said: So, we are them. So, the Levantine raised his head to the sky and said: O Allah! I repent to you – three times – O Allah! For You, I dissociate from the enemy of the Family of Muhammad and the killers of the Ahl al-Bayt of Muhammad. I have read the Quran, but I have never noticed this before today. Then, the women of al-Husayn (as) were brought to Yazid b. Mu`awiya. The women of the Family of Yazid and the daughters of Mu`awiya and his family cried out and grieved. The head of al-Husayn (as) was put in front of them. So, Sakina said: By Allah! I have never seen a harder heart than [that of] Yazid, nor have I seen a disbeliever or pagan more evil than him and more cold than him. He came in and said, while looking at the head: I wish my elders in Badr could witness the wails of Khazraj as the spears struck. Then, he called for the head of al-Husayn (as) and installed it at the gate of the Mosque of Damascus. It was reported from Fatima bt. `Ali (as) that she said: When we sat before Yazid b. Mu`awiya, we were calm at first. Then, a red man from the people of the Levant went to him and said: O commander of the faithful! Gift me this girl – meaning me, and I was a beautiful girl at the time. I became terrified, as I thought that he would do that. So, I grasped onto the clothes of my sister, who was older and more mature than me. So, she said: You have lied, by Allah, and have become cursed. That is not yours nor his. So, Yazid (la) became angry and said: Rather, you have lied, by Allah, for if I wanted to, I would have done it. She said: No, by Allah, Allah has not made that for you, unless you exit our way and take on a different religion. So, Yazid (la) became angry and said: You speak to me like this?! Your father and your brother exited the religion. So, she said: You, your grandfather, and your father were guided to the religion of Allah and the religion of my brother, my father, and my grandfather. He said: You have lied, enemy of Allah. She said: [You are] an oppressive ruler who ravages with his power. She said: It was as though he (la) became humiliated, so he went quiet. So, the Levantine (la) repeated and said: O commander of the faithful! Gift me this girl. So, he said to him: Leave – may Allah gift you a destructive judgment.

Muhammad b. `Ali Majiluwayh (rh) narrated this to us from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim from Muhammad b. `Ali al-Kufi from Nasr b. Mazahim from Lut b. Yahya from al-Harith b. Ka`b from Fatima bt. `Ali (s). Yazid (la) called for the women of al-Husayn (as) to be jailed with `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) in a jail that had no protection from heat or cold, until their faces peeled. A stone from the face of the Earth was not raised in the Bayt al-Maqdis except that fresh blood was found beneath it. The people saw red sunlight on the walls, as though it were sheets dyed in yellow; until `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) was released with the women and the head of al-Husayn (as) was returned to Karbala’.

Muhammad (as) said: When al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) was struck with the sword, and they prepared to sever his head, a caller called from the direction of the Lord of Glory from the depth of the Throne, saying: “O Nation that has become perplexed and misguided after its Prophet! Allah will not allow you to find success in Adha nor in Fitr.” He said: Then, Abu `Abdillah (as) said: By Allah, they will never find support nor success until the Revolutionary of al-Husayn (as) rises.
