Why are they not taking revenge from the accursed son of the accursed upon the tongue of Muhammad ‑saww , Rasool -saww of Lord -azwj of the worlds?’’ قَالَ فَازْدَادَ غَضَبُ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ حَتَّى انْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ وَ قَالَ عَلَيَّ بِهِ فَبَادَرَ إِلَيْهِ الْجَلَاوِزَةُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ فَقَامَتِ الْأَشْرَافُ مِنَ الْأَزْدِ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّهِ فَخَلَّصُوهُ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْجَلَاوِزَةِ وَ أَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ انْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ He (the narrator) said, ‘Then anger of Ibn Ziyad -la increased to the extent that his -la cheeks swelled and he -la said, ‘To me -la with him!’ The soldiers rushed towards him from every corner to seize him.
The nobles from the clan of Azd, from the clan of his uncle stood up and they rescued him from the hands of the soldiers and took him out from the door of the Masjid, and they went with him to his house.
فَقَالَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ اذْهَبُوا إِلَى هَذَا الْأَعْمَى أَعْمَى الْأَزْدِ أَعْمَى اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ كَمَا أَعْمَى عَيْنَهُ فَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الْأَزْدَ اجْتَمَعُوا وَ اجْتَمَعَتْ مَعَهُمْ قَبَائِلُ الْيَمَنِ لِيَمْنَعُوا صَاحِبَهُمْ Ibn Ziyad -la said, ‘Go to this blind man, the blind one of (the clan of) Azd!
Allah -azwj has Blinded his hear like his eyes have been blinded and come to me -la with him!’ When that reached (the clan of) Al Azd, they gathered, and they gathered the tribes of Al-Yemen with them in order to defend their companion’. قَالَ وَ بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى ابْنِ زِيَادٍ فَجَمَعَ قَبَائِلَ مُضَرَ وَ ضَمَّهُمْ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِقِتَالِ الْقَوْمِ He (the narrator) said, ‘And that reached Ibn Ziyad -la .
He -la gathered the tribes of Muzar and annexed them to Muhammad Bin Al-Ash’as and ordered them to fight the group’. قَالَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيداً حَتَّى قُتِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ He (the narrator) said, ‘They fought a severe battle until a group from the Arabs were killed between them’.
