'''Rawḍa of Yazīd's Gathering''' (Persian: {{ia|روضه مجلس یزید}}) is a [[rawda]] in the [[mourning]] ceremonies of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]].

Mu'awiya]]'s gathering in which [[Captives of Karbala]] were present. | |||

As a representative of other agents, [[Zahr b. Qays]] briefed Yazid on the [[Event of Karbala]]. After hearing the report, Yazid ordered the decoration of the palace. He summoned the prominent figures of al-Sham and ordered that the captives be taken to the palace. The captives entered the palace while they were tied together with a rope. At this time, [[Fatima bt. al-Husayn (a)]] said: " Yazid! Is it right for the daughters of [[the Prophet (s)]] to be captivated?" The audience and the household cried after hearing her words. | ||

When [[Sakina (a)]] and Fatima (a) saw this, they cried to loudly that Yazid's wives and [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan]]'s daughters began to cry as well. According to a [[hadith]] from [[Imam al-Rida (a)]], Yazid put the Imam's (a) head in a washing basin and put his food table on the basin, and then began to eat food and drink beer together with his companions. He then put the chess table on the basin and began to play chess with his companions. When he won a game, he had a sip of the glass of beer and threw the remaining on the floor beside the basin in which Imam al-Husayn's (a) head was put. | ||
Some of the audience objected to Yazid, including [[Yahya b. Hakam]], the brother of [[Marwan b. Hakam]] who was hit in the chest by Yazid. Abu Barza al-Aslami also protested to Yazid, but he was ousted from the gathering at the command of Yazid. | Some of the audience objected to Yazid, including [[Yahya b.
