For it shows us that , peace be on them, during those terrible times, faced ordeals, suffered from bitter oppression and severe tyranny, that their followers suffered from massacres, prisons, pursuit, severe punishments, that all the Muslims met mass persecutions distinguished by depriving from freedom, paralyzing economy, spreading, misery, poverty, chaos in their regions.

It is natural that all these things had a great effect on forming Imam Musa's life and made it full of deep sadness and intense sorrow.

The following is a brief presentation on some of those events: meet Severe Punishments The prominent thing in the Umayyads' policy is that they directed all their administrative, economic, and political organs of government to persecute , peace be on him, and to punish them severely; the following are some aspects of their policy: They made it incumbent on all Muslims to curse and disparage ; they made it a religious duty on Muslims; they asked and punished them if they did not curse them.

So the orator began and ended his sermon with cursing the pure family (of the Prophet), who were equal to the Holy Qur'an. Those ruling authorities were so mentally and socially low that the opportunists and those who sold their conscience sought nearness to them through disparaging and cursing the family of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family.

The historians have mentioned that an ugly person hurried to al-Hajjajj and raised his voice, saying: "O Emir, my family has wronged me when they have named me 'Ali. I am poor and miserable.

That moved the hidden malice and fury in the souls of the believers and those committed by their religion, and they hurried to declare their displeasure with the Umayyads; among them was the inspired poet, Kathir b.

Kathir, who has said: May Allah curse him who curse 'Ali and Husayn, whether they are common or leaders. Are those whose grandfathers pure and their uncles noble cursed? The birds and doves are safe whereas the Messenger's family is not safe at the Standing Place (of Ibrahim).
