'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad released al-Mukhtar from the prison provided that he would not stay in Kufa for more than 3 days. Thus, al-Mukhtar headed towards [[Mecca]] which was then under the rule of [['Abd Allah b. Zubayr]]. In his meeting with 'Abd Allah b. Zubyar, he said in response to the suggestion of people to pledge his allegiance to 'Abd Allah that his goal and 'Abd Allah’s goal diverge, and thus, it would not be advisable for him to pledge his allegiance to ibn Zubayr. However, after the insistence of people, he pledged his allegiance to 'Abd Allah b. Zubar on two conditions: (1) 'Abd Allah b. Zubayr had to consult him with respect to all affairs and never does anything on his own and never opposes him, (2) 'Abd Allah should give al-Muhtar the highest ranking position in his government. | 'Ubayd Allah b.

When [[Yazid b. Mu'awiya]]’s army attacked Mecca and 'Abd Allah b. Zubayr was sieged, al-Mukhtar fought the army of Yazid alongside ibn Zubayr. According to some sources, when al-Mukhtar found that 'Abd Allah deceitfully treated him and claimed [[caliphate]], he stepped aside from ibn Zubayr’s government and went to Kufa to prepare for his unprising. | |||
