Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15148

وَعَنِ اللَّيْثِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - قَالَ : أَبَى الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَنْ يَسْتَأْسِرَ ، فَقَاتَلُوهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ ، وَقَتَلُوا بَنِيهِ وَأَصْحَابَهُ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوا مَعَهُ بِمَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : الطَّفُّ ، وَانْطَلَقَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، وَفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ حُسَيْنٍ ، وَسُكَيْنَةَ بِنْتِ حُسَيْنٍ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، وَعَلِيٌّ يَوْمَئِذٍ غُلَامٌ قَدْ بَلَغَ ، فَبَعَثَ بِهِمْ إِلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِسُكَيْنَةَ ، فَجَعَلَهَا خَلْفَ سَرِيرِهِ لِئَلَّا تَرَى رَأْسَ أَبِيهَا وَذَوِي قَرَابَتِهَا ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ فِي غُلٍّ ، فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَضَرَبَ عَلَى ثَنْيَتَيِ الْحُسَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ :
نُفَلِّقُ هَامًا مِنْ رِجَالٍ أَحِبَّةٍ إِلَيْنَا وَهُمْ كَانُوا أَعَقَّ وَأَظْلَمَا .
فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ : ( مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَبْرَأَهَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ) . فَثَقُلَ عَلَى يَزِيدَ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّلَ بِبَيْتِ شِعْرٍ ، وَتَلَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . فَقَالَ يَزِيدُ : بَلْ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ ، وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ . فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ رَآنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَغْلُولِينَ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَنَا مِنَ الْغُلِّ . فَقَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَخَلُّوهُمْ مِنَ الْغُلِّ . فَقَالَ : وَلَوْ وَقَفْنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى بُعْدٍ لَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقَرِّبَنَا . قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَقَرِّبُوهُمْ . فَجَعَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَسُكَيْنَةُ يَتَطَاوَلَانِ لِتَرَيَا رَأْسَ أَبِيهِمَا ، وَجَعَلَ يَزِيدُ يَتَطَاوَلُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ لِيَسْتُرَ رَأْسَ الْحُسَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَجُهِّزُوا ، وَأَصْلَحَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، وَأُخْرِجُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Al-Layth bin Sa'd said: Sayyiduna Imam Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) refused to be taken captive. The people fought him and martyred him, and they also killed his sons and his companions who had fought alongside him. This happened at a place called al-Taff. They took Ali bin Husayn (that is, Zayn al-Abidin), Fatimah bint Husayn and Sukaynah bint Husayn to Ubaydullah bin Ziyad. Ali bin Husayn (that is, Imam Zayn al-Abidin) was at that time a boy who had reached puberty. Ubaydullah bin Ziyad then sent them to Yazid bin Mu'awiyah. He gave orders concerning Sayyidah Sukaynah bint Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), and she was placed behind his throne so that she would not see the head of her father and of her relatives. Sayyiduna Ali bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was at that time bound in shackles. The head of Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was placed (before him), and Yazid struck his front teeth with a stick and recited this verse: "We split the skulls of men who are dear to us, while they were the more undutiful and the more unjust." Then Imam Zayn al-Abidin (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves except that it is in a record before We bring it into being; indeed that (recording everything beforehand) is easy for Allah Almighty." It weighed heavily upon Yazid that he had recited a line of poetry to comment on the situation while Imam Zayn al-Abidin had recited a verse from the Book of Allah. So Yazid said: "No, rather it is because of what your own hands have earned, and He pardons much" (that is, he too recited a verse). Imam Zayn al-Abidin said: "By Allah, if the Messenger of Allah had seen us in this state, bound in shackles, he would have wanted to unfasten our shackles." Yazid said: "You have spoken the truth; unfasten their shackles." Imam Zayn al-Abidin said: "If we had been made to stand at such a distance before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would have wanted to bring us near." Yazid said: "You have spoken the truth; bring them near." Then Sayyidah Fatimah bint Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyidah Sukaynah bint Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) began raising themselves up to try to see their father's head, and Yazid raised himself up in his seat so as to screen the head of Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) (so that the women could not see it). Then he gave orders concerning them; they were provided with provisions, he had them made ready, and he sent them to Madinah.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
