'''Behavior of Yazid toward the Captives of Karbala''' | |||
When the [[Captives of Karbala|captives]] entered Syria, Yazid ordered to decorate the city. He also ordered to decorate the palace and summoned famous personalities of Syria. He put the head of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] in a golden basin in front of the eyes of the captives and hit it with a whip and repeated this poem of Ibn Zaba'ri, "how good was that if some of the great ones from my tribe who were killed in the [[battle of Badr]] were now alive to see the griefs of the tribe of [[Khazraj]]. They would then rejoice and say, 'Thank you O Yazid! Banu Hashim only played with the power, while, no news or [[revelation]] had come." | |||
There is a hadith from [[Imam al-Rida (a)]], that Yazid put the head of Imam (a) in a basin and put a food table over it. Then, he and his companions began eating and drinking [[beer]]; then, they replaced that table with a [[chess]] table and began playing chess. When Yazid made a good move in the game, drank beer and poured the remaining beer beside the basin on the ground. [[Yahya b. Hakam]] objected to this behavior of Yazid, but Yazid punched him on the chest. [[Abu Barza Aslami]] objected too, and Yazid ordered to throw him out of the gathering. It can be understood from historical and hadith sources that first, Yazid placed the captives in roofless ruins which were known as [[ruins of Syria]]. After the speeches of [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] and Lady [[Zaynab (a)]], the captives were moved to a house near the palace of Yazid. | There is a hadith from [[Imam al-Rida (a)]], that Yazid put the head of Imam (a) in a basin and put a food table over it.
