[50] Yazeed -la was drinking wine upon ‘Head’ of Imam Hussain -asws تميم القرشي، عن أبيه، عن أحمد الانصاري، عن الهروي قال: سمعت الرضا عليه السلام يقول: أول من اتخذ له الفقاع في الاسلام بالشام يزيد بن معاوية لعنة الله عليه فاحضر وهو على المائدة: وقد نصبها على رأس الحسين بن علي عليه السلام فجعل يشربه ويسقي أصحابه ويقول: اشربوا فهذا شراب مبارك من بركته أنا أول تناولناه ورأس عدونا بين أيدينا، ومائدتنا منصوبة عليه، ونحن نأكل ونفوسنا ساكنة، وقلوبنا مطمئنة * فمن كان من شيعتنا فليتورع عن شرب الفقاع فانه شراب أعدائنا Tameem Al Qarshy, from his father, from Ahmad Al Ansary, from Al Harwy who said, ‘I heard Al-Reza -asws saying: ‘The first one who took for himself Al-Faqa’a in Islam was Yazeed Bin Muawiya -la in Syria, may Allah -azwj Curse him -la .

It was presented and he -la was upon the dining table, and they poured it upon the head of Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws . So he -la went on to drink it and quench his -la companions, and he -la was saying, ‘So this is a blessed drink, from which I -la am the first one to drink it, and the head of our -la enemy is in front of us -la , and our -la feast is dedicated to him -asws , we -la are eating and our -la souls are tranquil, and our -la hearts are secure’.

Therefore the one who is from our -asws Shias should beware from drinking Al-Faqa’a , for it is a drink of our -asws enemies’.

[51] Yazeed -la entertained with Alcohol and Chess when head of Imam Hussain- -asws was brought to him -la : ابن عبدوس، عن ابن قتيبة، عن الفضل قال: سمعت الرضا عليه السلام يقول: لما حمل رأس الحسين إلى الشام أمر يزيد لعنه الله فوضع ونصب عليه مائدة فأقبل هو وأصحابه يأكلون ويشربون الفقاع، فلما فرغوا أمر بالرأس فوضع في طست تحت سريره، وبسط عليه رقعة الشطرنج وجلس يزيد لعنه الله يلعب بالشطر نج ويذكر الحسين وأباه وجده صلوات الله عليهم، ويستهزئ بذكرهم Ibn Abdous, from Ibn Quteyba, from Al Fazal who said, ‘I heard Al-Reza -asws saying: ‘When they carried the head of Al-Husayn -asws to Syria, Yazeed -la may Allah -azwj Curse him -la , ordered, so they laid a feast for himself -la .

So him -la and his -la companions came over and were eating and drinking Al-Faqa’a (intoxicant/wine) . So when they were free, he -la ordered for the head, so it was placed in a tray under his recliner, and they extended the chessboard towards him -la . And Yazeed -la sat down and played the chess, whispering and mentioning Al-Husayn -asws , and his -asws father -asws , and his -asws grandfather -saww , and they were mocking with their -asws mention.
