قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ فَرَكِبْتُ رَاحِلَتِي وَ سِرْتُ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ مَا الْخَبَرُ فَقُلْتُ الْخَبَرُ عِنْدَ الْأَمِيرِ تَسْمَعُهُ قَالَ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ قُتِلَ وَ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنُ Abdul Malik said, ‘I rode my animal and travelled towards Al-Medina, and a man from Quraysh met me. He said, ‘What is the news?’ I said, ‘The news is with the emir’. I made him listen to it.
He said, ‘We are for Allah -azwj and are returning to Him -azwj ! By Allah -azwj ! Al-Husayn -asws has been killed!’ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ مَا وَرَاكَ فَقُلْتُ مَا سَرَّ الْأَمِيرَ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ اخْرُجْ فَنَادِ بِقَتْلِهِ فَنَادَيْتُ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ وَ اللَّهِ وَاعِيَةً قَطُّ مِثْلَ وَاعِيَةِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فِي دُورِهِمْ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ سَمِعُوا النِّدَاءَ بِقَتْلِهِ When I entered to see Amro Bin Saeed -la , he -la said, ‘What is behind you?’ I said, ‘What will cheer the governor.
Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws has been killed’. He -la said, ‘Go out and call out with his -asws being killed’. I called out. By Allah -azwj ! I had not heard screaming at all like the screaming of the clan of Hashim -as in their houses, screaming upon Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws , when they heard the call of his -asws having been killed.
ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي تَبَسَّمَ إِلَيَّ ضَاحِكاً ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ مُتَمَثِّلًا بِقَوْلِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ- عَجَّتْ نِسَاءُ بَنِي زِيَادٍ عَجَّةً- كَعَجِيجِ نِسْوَتِنَا غَدَاةَ الْأَرْنَبِ- Then I entered to see Amro Bin Saeed -la . When he -la saw me, he -la smiled at me laughingly, then he prosed with the words of Amro Bin Madeykarb, ‘ The women of the clan of Ziyad clamoured with a clamour, like the clamour of our women in the early morning ’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ عَمْرٌو هَذِهِ وَاعِيَةٌ بِوَاعِيَةِ عُثْمَانَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَأَعْلَمَ النَّاسَ بِقَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ دَعَا لِيَزِيدَ وَ نَزَلَ Then Amro -la said, ‘This is a screaming for the screaming for Usman’. Then he -la ascended the pulpit and let the people know with the Killing of Al-Husayn -asws and supplicated for Yazeed -la and descended.
