Thus Yazeed said...

Thus Yazeed said: "You are saying the truth, but your father and grandfather wanted to become princes, so, thank God who had humiliated them and shed their blood!" So, Imam Zein El-Abedeen stood up to remind Yazeed Bin Muawiya of his parents and ancestors and to make him aware of his father and grandfather’s reality: "O son of Muawiya, Hind and Sakhr, my fathers and ancestors had held the reign before you were even born, and my grandfather, Ali Bin Abi Taleb (Q), was on the Days of Badre, Uhud, and Ahzab holding the flag of the Messenger of Allah (P) in his hand, while your father and your grandfather were holding the flags of the disbelievers in their hands".

Then he (Q) said: "Woe to you Yazeed, indeed if you are aware of what you have committed against my father, my family, my brother and my uncles, you would have escaped to the mountains, to sleep on the bare sand while calling for punishment and death, for that the head of Imam Hussain (Q) is hung on the doors of the city while he is the consignation of the Messenger of Allah (P) among you, So do enjoy the feeling of regret and humiliation tomorrow, when the people are to be gathered for that Day that no one doubts".

Then Yazeed called for the women and children to be seated in front of him, when he saw their painful situation, he said: "May God punish the son of Murjana, as if there were a kinship between you and him, he would not have done this to you, or have sent you in this condition".

These speeches of Yazeed and other similar ones were on the second stage that followed the stage of expressing his joy and ultimate pleasure, but he was surprised with a reaction from the people that he did not account for at all, which obliged him to push the responsibility away from him and blame it all on Bin Ziad. Many points emerge from the stances of Imam Ali Bin Al-Hussain (Q) that must be studied and contemplated: The solid stance of the Imam (Q) and his stability during the assembly.

The Imam (Q) blamed the responsibility for the killing of Imam Hussain (Q), what happened in the Al-Taff battle, and all after that on Yazeed, while warning of the profundity of the Great Tragedy and threatening of Hell’s fire. Exposing the truth about Yazeed, that he, his father and his grandfather were all on the wrong path, declaring war against the Messenger of Allah (P) and his progeny (R), and the Hussain renaissance is only a continuation for that confrontation and defiance.
