Battle of Harra: Difference between revisions

According to reports, [['Abd Allah b. Hanzala]] had a pivotal role in this movement and even people pledged [[allegiance]] to him as the leader of the uprising. There are different reports about the causes and grounds of this uprising. According to many of these reports, the cause of this protest and uprising was the corruption of [[Yazid]]. They say that the governor of [[Medina]] sends a group of nobles of the city to visit Yazid in [[Syria]]. When the group comes back to Medina, they testified to depravity and perversion of Yazid and invite people to uprise to dethrone him from caliphate. The other reports link this movement to the movement of [['Abd Allan b. Zubayr]] in [[Mecca]] and even it is said that 'Abd Allah b. Hanzala was Ibn Zubayr's agent. Some of the reports, also, count [[Mu'awiya]]'s economic policies as the reasons for this movement, because it caused poverty and famine in the city.
