So, they went to get Abdu Allah Bin Afeef, and the news...

So, they went to get Abdu Allah Bin Afeef, and the news reached the people of Azd. So they gathered and some tribes from Yemen joined them to defend their relative. Bin Ziad was notified about that, so he gathered the tribes of Mudar and he made them join Muhammad Bin Al-Ashath, and he commanded him to go and fight those people.

So, the tribes of Mudar went and fought heavily till a group of the Arab was killed, and the people reached the house of Abdu Allah Bin Afeef, so they broke the door and attacked him. Then his daughter screamed: "O father, the people are attacking you from the place you feared!" So he said: "Don’t worry my girl, just hand me my sword". She gave him the sword and he started defending himself, then his daughter said to him: "I wish I was a man so I could have fought these dissolute people".

The people started attacking him from all sides and he was defending himself with his sword while saying: I swear if I would have my sight back You will never be able to get me. So no one was able to overpower him, and every time they would attack him from a certain direction, his daughter used to tell him: "They are attacking you for that direction!" till they outnumbered him and surrounded him from all sides, then his daughter said to him: "What a humiliation!

They surrounded my father and no one to support him!" They took him to Obayed Allah Bin Ziad and when he was brought before him, he said to Bin Afeef: "Thank God who had degraded you!" So, Bin Afeef replied: "O enemy of Allah, how did He degrade me? By Allah if he would just bring me back my sight…" Then Bin Ziad said to him: "What do you say of Othman?" Bin Afeef answered: "O son of Murjana, O son of Sumayyah, O you servant of the people of Elaj, what do you want with Othman?!

Whether he did good or bad? Whether he reformed or corrupted? God is the judge of the people, he rules between them with the truth and just.

But do ask me about you and your father, about Yazeed and his father!" So, Bin Ziad said: "I shall not ask you about anything till you die" Bin Afeef then said: "Thank God the Lord of humanity, I have been asking Allah to grant me martyrdom before your mother, Murjana, gave birth to you, and I asked to make my death to be by the hands of his worst and meanest creatures whom He despises the most, and when I lost my sight I lost the hope of martyrdom.
