Having dominated [[Kufa]], [[Mukhtar]] invited people to allegiance to Muhammab b. Hanafiyya. [['Abd Allah b. Zubayr]] who reigned [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] at the time, feared that people might grow a tendency towards Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya, and therefore asked him and his companions to swear allegiance to him, but they refused. Zubayr then imprisoned them in [[Zamzam]] and threatened them to death. Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya sent Mukhtar a letter and asked for help. Having received the letter, Mukhtar sent [[Zabyan b. 'Amara]] with four-hundred men and four-thousand dirhams to Mecca.<ref>Akhbar al-dawlat al-'abbasiyya, P.100.</ref> | Having dominated [[Kufa]], [[Mukhtar]] invited people to allegiance to Muhammab b.

With their flags in hands, they entered [[Masjid al-Haram]], and roaring their desire to retaliation for [[Imam al-Husayn (a)|Husayn b. 'Ali (a)]], arrived at [[Zamzam]]. Ibn Zubayr supplied a pile of wood to set them on fire, but having broken the door of Masjid al-Haram, they made way to Ibn Hanafiyya, and told him that he was to choose either them or 'Abd Allah b. Zubayr. Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya said; 'I do not favor there to be conflict and bloodshed in [[Ka’ba|the house of God]].' Meanwhile Ibn Zubayr arrived at them and cried; 'woe upon these stick-handed ones! (they were carrying sticks instead of swords, for they could not carry weapons in Masjid al-Haram), do you suppose I would let Muhammad go before he swears allegiance to me?' So the rest of Mukhtar forces entered Masjid al-Haram, shouting out loud that they sought revenge for Husayn (a). Ibn Zubayr feared them and did not resist anymore. Muhammad then, accompanied by four-thousand men, went to [['Ali's Valley]] and lived in there until Mukhtar was killed. | With their flags in hands, they entered [[Masjid al-Haram]], and roaring their desire to retaliation for [[Imam al-Husayn (a)|Husayn b.
