 ===End of the Uprising===
-After eighteen months of rule and war with three groups, the [[Umayyads]] in [[Syria]], the [[Zubayr Dynasty]] in [[Hijaz]], and the nobles of Kufa, al-Mukhtar was killed on [[Ramadan 14]], [[67]]/[[April 6]], 687, at his 67, by [[Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr]]. On Mus'ab's command, al-Mukhtar's hands were cut off and nailed to the wall of [[Masjid al-Kufa]]. When [[Hajjaj b. Yusuf]] gained power over Kufa, he ordered the hands be buried.

 After al-Mukhtar's death, his followers, consisting of 6000 people who were encircled in the palace, surrendered. Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr ordered all of them be killed. The decision was so horrifying that when [['Abd Allah b. 'Umar]] saw Mus'ab, said: "Even if they were 6000 sheeps which belonged to your father, you shouldn't have done this."
