Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Maytham al-Tammar The Prison Many companions of Imam Ali [a] supported Imam Husayn [a]. Many Muslims supported him, too. Ubaidullah bin Ziyad arrived in Kufa, He began arresting and imprisoning Imam Husayn's supporters. Maytham, Mukhtar al-Thaqafy, Abdullah bin al-Harith were in the same prison. Imam Husayn [a] died a martyr for Islam. The prisoners felt pain for him. Mukhtar said to his two friends: Be ready to meet Allah!
After Imam Husayn's killing, Ubaidullah bin Ziyad will kill the Imam's supporters! Abdullah bin al-Harith said: Yes, he will kill us sooner or later! Maytham said: No, he won't kill you. My dear Imam Ali [a] has told me that you (Mukhtar) will get revenge of Imam Husayn's killers. And you will kick Ubaidullah's head with your foot. Then Maytham said to Abdullah bin al-Harith: You'll rule Basrah. Previous Next
