سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ أَ تُقِرُّ لِي أَنَّكَ عَبْدٌ لِي إِنْ شِئْتُ بِعْتُكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُ اسْتَرْقَيْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ يَا يَزِيدُ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَكْرَمَ مِنِّي فِي قُرَيْشٍ حَسَباً وَ لَا كَانَ أَبُوكَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنِّي فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنِّي فَكَيْفَ أُقِرُّ لَكَ بِمَا سَأَلْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ إِنْ لَمْ تُقِرَّ لِي وَ اللَّهِ قَتَلْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ لَيْسَ قَتْلُكَ إِيَّايَ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ قَتْلِكَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ

<a id="_Toc492473441">H 14761</a> – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> heard Abu Ja’far</span><sup>asws</sup> saying that: ‘Yazeed Bin Muawiya<sup>la</sup> entered Al-Medina and he wanted to perform the Pilgrimage. So he<sup>la</sup> sent for a man from Qureysh who came to him. So Yazeed<sup>la</sup> said to him, ‘Do you accept that you are my<sup>la</sup> slave, and if I<sup>la</sup> wish I<sup>la</sup> can sell you, and if I<sup>la</sup> wish I<sup>la</sup> can promote you?’ So the man said to him<sup>la</sup>, ‘You<sup>la</sup> are no more prestigious than me among the Qureysh in nobility, nor was your<sup>la</sup> father more preferable than my father during the era of ignorance and Al-Islam, and neither are you<sup>la</sup> more preferable than me in the Religion, nor better than me. So how can I accept what you<sup>la</sup> are asking of me?’ So Yazeed<sup>la</sup> said to him, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! If you do not accept me<sup>la</sup>, I<sup>la</sup> shall kill you’. So the man said to him<sup>la</sup>, ‘Your<sup>la</sup> killing me would not be greater than your<sup>la</sup> killing of Al-Husayn Bin Ali<sup>asws</sup> the son<sup>asws</sup> of the Rasool Allah<sup>saww</sup>’. So he<sup>la</sup> ordered that he be killed, may Allah Curse him<sup>la</sup>’.
