🎆YAZEED'S PLAN🎆

Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه called on the people of kufa for assistance. Narration says that approximately Forty Thousand people accompanied him to the Government building. By now Ibn Ziyaad had placed the leaders of kufa on the roof top of the building and threatened to kill them if they did not leave Imam Muslim bin Aqeel رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه. Within a short while, not one person from the Forty Thousand was with Imam Muslim bin Aqeel رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه. The people of kufa had once again shown their disloyalty to the Ahle Baith of Rasoolullah ﷺ.

Hazrat Imam Muslim رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه was later taken by the soldiers of Ibn Ziyaad and made Shaheed. Later, even the children of Imam Muslim bin Aqeel رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه was made shaheed. These were the two young children who accompanied their father, thinking that they were journeying to a place that was filled with true followers of the

After the Battle of Karbala, Imam Zainul Abideen and the female members of the Ahle Bait were taken to Kufa. They were sent back to Madina Shareef on the authority of Yazeed.
After the Battle of Karbala various amazing incidents occured which the learned Ulama have quoted in many of their books. Some of them are being quoted for your perusal:

1] Hazrat Ibn Abbas رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه reports, "One night, I dreamt of the Prophet ﷺ. I saw that the blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ was uncombed and covered with dust. It was around noon. In his hand, the Prophet ﷺ had a bottle which was filled with blood. I asked, "Ya Rasoolullah ﷺ! What is this ? He replied, "This is the blood of HUSSAIN and his Companions, and I have been gathering this since morning."
Hazrat Ibn Abbas رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه says, "I remembered the day that I had this dream. When the news of Hazrat IMAM HUSSAIN رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه Shahaadat arrived. I realised it was the same day on which I had a dream."

The monk at the church paid the Yazeedis Ten Thousands dhirams to keep the head for one night. He washed the blessed head and kept it on his lap. He made ziyaarat of IMAM HUSSAIN رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه blessed head the entire night and saw the rays of mercy descending upon it. He cried out! O grandson of the Prophet ﷺ! You are not dead. You are alive. I request that you bear witness to what I am saying, and that is, I witness that there is none worthy of worship but ALLAH, and I witness that MUHAMMAD ﷺ is His Servant and Messenger." When morning came, the Yazeedis reclaimed the blessed head of Hazrat IMAM HUSSAIN رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه from the Monk. They also claimed the Ten Thousand coins. When they opened the box of money, they found that the coins had turned to pieces of clay. On other side of the clay coins were verses of the HOLY QUR'AN which reminded the Yazeedis of their tyranny.

All those that were responsible for the Shahaadat of Hazrat IMAM HUSSAIN رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه died very bad death. Both Shimr and Ibn Sa'ad were killed. Yazeed died a very bad death. It is said that he constantly remained drunk
