Then he added: By Allah, man faces his fate on Shaban 15th.

Then he added: By Allah, man faces his fate on Shaban 15th. So, man must implore Allah at such a night He must read Al-Khidr's supplication. Certainly, Allah accepts it. The meeting was over and the Imam went home. The evening came. Then it got dark. People went to bed. At that hour, Kumail got up. He went to Imam Ali's house. He had a question. Kumail knocked at the door. Imam Ali (AS.) said: Kumail what has brought you?

Kumail, politely said: Amirul-Momineen, Al-Khidr's supplication The Imam kindly said: Kumail, please sit down. Then he added: I'll read you a supplication. Read it on Thursday nights. The Imam began reading the supplication. Kumail was writing it. Nowadays, millions of Moslems read the supplication. They call it Kumail's supplication. Thursday night, when you are free, then read Kumail's supplication. Faith will shine in your heart.

It will illuminate the way of your life as it had illuminated the way of Kumail's life. **Al-Hajjaj ** Imam Ali (A.S.) passed away. Maawyyah became a Caliph. Unjust rulers succeeded him. Kufa lived unbearable life. The rulers imprisoned and killed the God-fearing followers of Ahlul-bait. Zyyad bin Abeeh ruled Kufa. Then his son Ubaidullah succeeded him. The latter killed the Prophet's grandson. Besides he killed seventy of his companions and his family.

AI-Hajjaj did his best to please the Umayyad rulers. He filled his prison with innocent men and women. In his prison, there were fifty thousand men and thirty thousand women. The prison was roofless. The prisoners were subjected to the sun heat in summer. And they were subjected to rain and coldness in winter. In summer their faces became as black as Negroes. A person had been in prison for months. One day his mother went to the prison to visit him. She was astonished to see him.

She said: He's not my son. My son is white. This young man is a Negro. I don't know him. The young man reminded his mother of some marks. The mother became certain of her son. She burst into tears. Then she died of sadness. The Revolution AI-Hajjaj hated Ahlul-Bait and their followers very much. So, he filled the prisons with Shias. They had no guilt but had loved Muhammad's family. AI-Hajaj was unjust. People hated him. They asked Abid al-Malik to remove him from office.

Abid al-Malik refused because al-Hajaj wanted to strengthen the Umayyad rule with fire and sword. AI-Hajaj was wicked. He sent people to fight and occupy lands. He forced them to join the invading armies.
