And, now the aftermath of Kerbala unfolds.
We find one of the commanders of Yazid, the son of Muawiyah, the son of Abu Sufiyan playing with the head of the grandson of Rasullulah s.a.w
Taken from Bukhari:
Anas bin Malik said, "The head of Al-Husain was brought to 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad and was put in a tray, and then Ibn Ziyad started playing with a stick at the nose and mouth of Al-Husain's head and saying something about his handsome features." Anas then said (to him), "Al-Husain resembled the Prophet more than the others did." Anas added, "His (i.e. Al-Husain's) hair was dyed with Wasma (i.e. a kind of plant used as a dye).
Ibn Ziyad was one of the highest ranking men under the tyrant Yazid. One can clearly see the lack of remorse or even fear at what he had done. Ofcourse, such are the actions of a man who has only done what his caliph has commanded him, and hence feels no fear or punishment - and he was never punished or held to account by Yazid either. You don't just kill one of the most highly revered and known men by accident. It is a plotted massacre, commanded from the top down.
O Rasullulah. Barely decades pass after your death, and the caliph who sits where you sat has caused the decapitation and beheading of the grandson who was the apple of your eye, and the leader of the youths of jannah.
When Jibra'eel a.s brought to you the soil from Kerbala and forewarned the death of Hussain a.s, it broke your heart and tears poured from your eyes.
What breaks your heart, breaks my heart.
