Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2833 — from his father: Husayn bin Ali set out

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْحِزَامِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " خَرَجَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ سَاخِطًا لِوِلَايَةِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَكَتَبَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَهُوَ وَالِيهِ عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ حُسَيْنًا قَدْ سَارَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، وَقَدِ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِ زَمَانُكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَزْمانِ، وَبَلَدُكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْبُلْدَانِ، وابْتُلِيتَ بِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعُمَّالِ، وَعِنْدَهَا يُعْتَقُ أَوْ يَعُودُ عَبْدًا كَمَا يُعْتَبَدُ الْعَبِيدُ ". فَقَتَلَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، وَبَعَثَ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ تَمَثَّلَ بِقَوْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحُمَامِ:
[البحر الطويل]
نُفَلِّقُ هَامًا مِنْ رِجَالٍ أَحِبَّةٍ ... إِلَيْنَا وَهُمْ كَانُوا أَعَقَّ وَأَظْلَمَا "
Muhammad bin al-Dahhak narrates from his father: Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for Kufah, displeased with the rule of Yazid bin Mu'awiyah. Yazid bin Mu'awiyah wrote to Ubaydullah bin Ziyad, who was his governor over Iraq: News has reached me that Husayn has set out for Kufah. Out of all eras, your era has been tested with him; out of all cities, your city has been tested with him; and out of all governors, you have been tested with him. Now either you will prove yourself free, or you will become a slave as slaves are enslaved. So Ubaydullah bin Ziyad killed him and sent his head to Yazid. When the head was placed before him, he recited this verse of al-Husayn bin al-Humam:
"We split the skulls of men who are dear to us, though they were more disobedient and more unjust."
