But when he to his fathers at Badr referred Exposed his apostasy most manifestly.[^12] Yazid Meets al-Sajjad (‘a) Yazid turned to al-Sajjad (‘a) and asked him, “How did you, ‘Ali, see what Allah did to your father, al-Husayn?” “I saw,” answered al-Sajjad (‘a), “ what Allah, the One and Only God, the most Exalted One, had decreed before creating the heavens and the earth. ” Yazid consulted those around him as to what to do with al-Sajjad (‘a), and they advised him to kill him.

Imam al-Sajjad, Zayn al-’Abidin (‘a), said, “ O Yazid! These men have advised you to do the opposite of what Pharaoh's courtiers had advised Pharaoh saying: ‘Grant him and his brother a respite.' The ad’iya’ [^13] do not kill the prophets' sons and grandsons .” This statement caused Yazid to lower his head and contemplate for a good while.[^14] Among the dialogue that went on between both men is Yazid quoting this Qur’anic verse to ‘Ali Ibn al-Husayn (‘a): “Whatever misfortune befalls you is due to what your hands commit” (Qur’an, 45:22).
