Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Maytham al-Tammar The End Ubaidullah bin Ziyad ordered the police to bring Maytham. He said to him: I've heard that you're a companion of Ali's! Maytham said: Yes. Ubaidullah bin Ziyad said to Maytham: Will you disown him? Maytham said: No, I won't! Ubaidullah bin Ziyad said: Surely, I'll kill you! Maytham said: By Allah, Imam Ali [a] has told me that you will kill me! He has told me that you will cut my hands, legs, and tongue!
Ibn Ziyad stormily said: Your Imam is a liar! Maytham jeered at that foolish person (Ubaidullah). Ibn Ziyad ordered the police to tie Maytham to the date-palm trunk near the house of Amru bin Huraith. Besides, he ordered them to cut off his hands and legs. Previous Next
