Qādisīyya (Arabic: القادسیة) was a station or resting area near Kufa. Qays b. Mushir al-Saydawi was arrested by al-Husayn b. Numayr in this area. Qays was Imam al-Husayn's (a) envoy to people of Kufa. After leaving the station of 'Udhayb al-Hijanat, Imam al-Husayn (a) changed his path to Qasr Bani Muqatil and did not go to Qadisiyya.

Location and History

Qadisiyya is located 15 miles from Kufa and 4 miles from 'Udhayb al-Hijanat. In the period of 'Umar b. al-Khattab, the Battle of Qadisiyya between the army of Persia and Muslim Arabs occurred in this area in 14/635.[1]

Events

The army of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad arrested Maytham al-Tammar in Qadisiyya.[2]

Also, Qays b. Mushir al-Saydawi, Imam al-Husayn's (a) messenger to people of Kufa, was arrested in this place by al-Husayn b. Numayr and sent to 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad.[3] Qays carried a letter from the Imam (a) to people of Kufa. He tore the letter apart before it was seized by Ibn Ziyad's forces.[4]

The path to Kufa passes from 'Udhayb to Qadisiyya, but in order to avoid Kufa, Imam al-Husayn (a) changed his way to Qasr Bani Muqatil, and thus, he did not go to Qadisiyya.[5]
