الْفَضْلُ الرَّابِعُ فِي نَعْيِي الْحُسَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَوَقُوعِ خَيْرِ نَعْيِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ، وَكَلامِهِمْ فِي أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ، وَتَارِيخَ مَقْتَلِهِ

Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12425 — The fourth section regarding the mourning
عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَقْتُلُ الذُّبَابَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الذُّبَابِ وَقَدْ قَتَلُوا ابْنَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”هُمَا رَيْحَانَتَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا“
Shu’bah says: I think that some (Iraqi man) asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) this question: If a man in the state of Ihram kills a fly, what is its expiation? He replied: The people of Iraq ask about killing a fly, while they have killed the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These two—Hasan and Husayn—are my two flowers in this world.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is possible, and in fact it appears to be the case, that this man will be free from the crime of the killing of Sayyiduna Husayn radi Allahu anhu. However, at times, in order to highlight the gravity of a criminal's act, the crime is attributed to the entire nation.
