Who killed Imam Hussain (as)? (part 13)

Conclusion

Alhamdolillah the lies of Nasibi have been exposed yet again. The central argument of Afriki was that it was the Shi’a who called Imam Hussain (as) and it was the same Shi’a that abandoned him and allowed him to be martyred. A fact that this Afriki fails to point out is that amongst those that wrote letters were individuals such as Shabath bin Rib’i, who despite inviting the Imam in fact had a sinister motive to cause harm to him. Shabath had kept his Nasibi aqeedah hidden (in the same way that Ansar.org do) but his Nasibi aqeedah was exposed on account of his seditious activities and his entry in the ranks of Yazeed’s forces as a Shi’a of Uthman.
Even if we accept that despite the policy persecution by Mu’awiya’s Nasibi regime, Shi’a still resided in a large city such as Kufa, historically only a handful of individuals can definitely be located as Shi’a. We have exemplary characters whose examples cannot even be found today, individuals such as Hani bin Urwah, Qays bin Mussahar, ‘Abd al-A’la bin Yazid al Kalbi, Umarah bin Salkhab al-Azdi who were captured and executed before Imam Hussain (as) reached Kufa. Mukhthar and Abdullah bin al-Harith were apprehended and imprisoned before the Imam’s arrival, despite the tough measures of abduction, intimidation and violence it is truly amazing that some individuals still managed to reach the Rasulullah’s grandson and sacrifice their lives for him. These individuals were indeed the Shi’a of Kufa who attained martyrdom on the 10th of Muhurrum such as Habib bin Muzahir, Sa’id bin Abdullah and Abd Rahman the two sons of Azrah, these were the faithful Kufan Shi’a that Imam Hussain (as) had praised. Despite the oppressive policy of extermination Ziyad and his son these Shi’a managed to save their lives and aid their Imam. The fact that these individuals were Shi’a had even been admitted by Ibn Ziyad. Following the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as) Ibn Ziyad said as follows:

“Praise be to God, who revealed the truth and the followers of truth. He has given victory to the Commander of the Faithful Yazeed ibn Mu’awiyah, and his party. He has killed the liar who is the son of a liar, al Hussain bin Ali and his Shiah”.
The History of al-Tabari, English translation by I.K.A. Howard, Volume 19 page 167
Again in the Court of Yazeed, Zahr bin Qays proudly declared this to Yazeed:



“O Commander of the Faithful I bring good news of God’s victory and support. Al Hussain bin Ali came against us with 18 men of his House and 60 of his Shiah”
The History of al-Tabari, English translation by I.K.A. Howard, Volume 19 page 169
Whilst individuals such as the Sahaba of Rasulullah (s) Sulayman bin Surad, Mussayab bin Najabah and Rafah bin Shahdad may well have failed to support the Imam, it is impossible to contemplate exactly how these individuals had managed to protect themselves from Nasibi Ibn Ziyad’s tyranny. When we analyse history we see that the survival of these Sahaba, devotees of Ahl’ul bayt (as) proved very beneficial, even today Mukhthar’s achievements on the battlefield of Ayn ul Wardh prove their firm intention and commitment to avenge the killing of the Imam (as). These were the Shi’a of Kufa who aided the Deen as is testified to in the annals of history, these were not the Kufans that betrayed and killed the Imam – whose example was one of betrayal.
Those that killed Imam Hussain (as) were Nasibis, today’s Nasibis love these killers to the extent that they take the core component of Deen (hadith) from them. These are the same Nasibi that oppose the mourning of Imam Hussain (as) deeming such practices to be bidath, their hearts are cursed just like their faces. Whilst Ansar.org claim to defend the Sahaba, they shamelessly mock and attack the Sahaba that supported Imam Hussain (as). The greatest irony lies in the fact that this group calls itself Ansar al Hussain (Helpers of al Hussain) – What sort of Ansar al Hussain are these? Ansar that take hadith from the killers of Imam Hussain (as) and praise Ibn Ziyad’s supporters such as Harith Mukhdoomee. With Ansar like these who needs enemies!
It is ironic that Afrki seeks to conclude his article by stating:

Ansar.org states:
When the names of Yazîd ibn Mu‘âwiyah, ‘Ubaydullâh ibn Ziyâd, ‘Umar ibn Sa‘d and Shamir ibn Dhil Jawshan are mentioned and curses invoked upon their memories, then let us not forget the treachery of the Shî‘ah of Kûfah.

Perhaps it would also be of relevance for this Nasibi to tell his faithful that he adheres to a school of thought that deems Yazeed to be a legitimate Khalifa of Rasulullah, and takes hadith on the authority of ‘Ubaydullâh ibn Ziyâd, ‘Umar ibn Sa‘d and Shamir.
Ansar.org’s Salaf are those that killed Imam Hussain (as) and these Nasibi are STILL enemies of those that support the cause of Imam Hussain (as).
