Out of love for Allah -azwj and His -azwj Walis, one sometimes feels sad and frustrated about not doing enough, when Sunni extremists threaten to deface, damage, or even demolish a holy Shrine. In this short article, we review some traditions of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws , to learn about their -asws conduct upon facing the enemies of Allah -azwj , who were intent on disrespecting the sanctity or eradicating the signs of a holy site, i.e., the Kabah or the Holy graves of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws .

\n Briefly, we find that the grandfather of Prophet -saww , Abd Al-Mutlib -asws only demanded the release of his -asws captured camel from the king of Ethiopia, leaving the defence of the Holy Kabah to Allah -azwj . The locations of the graves of the daughter of the Prophet -saww and Amir Al-Momineen -asws were hidden from general Muslims to protect their sanctity from the enemies of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws .

\n Imam Ali -asws Ibn Hussain -asws organised the burial of the Martyred of Karbala, along with their severed Heads, through Bani Asad and it is not found in the literature that the 4 th Imam -asws ever instructed his -asws followers to protect the holy graves at Karbala. Through Ahadith, the Masomeen -asws , have encouraged their -asws devotees to visit the Holy graves for our benefit (acceptance of prayers and securing rewards of both worlds).

[2] \n When Al-Hajjaj -la Ibn Yusuf -la destroyed the Holy Kabah by catapulting stones at it in the event of Harra, and when an army of Yazeed -la plundered the sanctity of Medinah, Imam Ali -asws Ibn Hussain -asws adopted solitude in both cases, i.e., moved away from the fighting fractions along with close family members and adherents.
