I will tell you a story...

I will tell you a story: ‘We participated in the expedition of Balanjar[^20] and Allah granted us victory and we won booty.

Salman al-Bahili said[^21]: ‘Are you happy with the victory which Allah has granted you and the booty you won?’ We replied: ‘Yes.’ Then he said to us: ‘If you met the young men from the family of Muhammad (S), then be happier to fight with them than you are because of the booty you have obtained today.’ As for me, I leave you [all] to Allah’s protection!” Then he told his wife: “You are divorced.

Go back to your family; for I do not want anything to befall you because of me except good.”[^22],[^23] Somewhere on the way [to Kufah], Al-Husayn (as) dispatched ‘Abdullah bin Buqtur al-Himyari[^24] to Muslim bin ‘Aqil[^25], but he was arrested by the soldiers of Husayn bin Tamim at al-Qadisiyyah. He sent him to Ibn Ziyad who said to him: “Go to the top of the palace and curse the liar son of the liar. Then come down and I will give my judgment on you!”
