Uprising of Fakhkh: Difference between revisions

'''Event of Fakh''' (Arabic: وقعة الفخّ) or the '''uprising of the Fakh's martyr''' (Arabic: قیام شهید الفخّ) was an uprising by the [['Alawis]] against the [[Abbasids]] that occurred in [[Dhu l-Qa'da]], 169 A.H. (May, 786) under the leadership of Husayn b. 'Ali, a progeny of [[Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (a)]] in [[Medina]], leading to his and his companions' martyrdom in an area called "fakh" near [[Mecca]]. According to some [[hadiths]], [[Imam Kazim (a)]] refused to take part in the uprising, prognosticating its fate. According to a hadith from [[Imam Jawad (a)]]: after [[event of Taff]], there was no crime worse than the event of Fakh.

[[Husayn b. 'Ali b. Hasan b. Hasan. Hasan b. 'Ali (a)]] was known as "sahib al-Fakh" (the companion of Fakh). His father, [['Ali b. Hasan]] was a pious person known as "'Ali al-khayr" ('Ali, the good) and "'Ali al-aghar" ('Ali, the nice). And his mother, Zaynab, was the daughter of 'Abdulah b. Hasan b. Hasan b. 'Ali, who was known as "[['Abdullah al-Mahd]]" (the pure 'Abdullah); she was a sister of [[Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya]] and [[Ibrahim b. 'Abdullah]], known as "Qatil Bakhamra" (killed in Bakhamra). This couple was known as righteous because of their piety.

After the [[Uprising of al-Nafs al-Zakiyya]], 'Ali b. Hasan and some other [['Alawis]] were arrested at the command of [[al-Mansur al-'Abbasi]], and soon after that he died in the prison.
