Uprising of Fakhkh: Difference between revisions

After the Fakh uprising, the ruler of Medina set the houses and palm groves of Husayn b. 'Ali and some of his household on fire, and confiscated the rest of their palm groves and property. [[Musa b. 'Isa al-'Abbasi]] went to Medina and called people of the city to the mosque and had them publically curse Husayn and his companions. There are contradictory reports about al-Hadi al-'Abbasi's reactions. On some accounts, he coldheartedly treated the captives of the event as well as the Abbasid rulers who failed to do their duties in the battle. For example, he captivated [[Qasim b. Muhammad b. 'Abdullah al-'Alawi]], and mutilated his body with a saw, and he was angered at his own commander, Musa b. 'Isa al-'Abbasi, who had killed Hasan b. Muhammad b. 'Abdullah, instead of capturing him and letting the [[Caliph]] decide about him; because of this he confiscated Musa's property.

On the other hand, there are [[hadiths]] according to which al-Hadi reproached those who took Husayn's head to him and told them: "Husyan was from the progeny of the Prophet (s), rather than a rebel from Turk or Daylam. Thus people who killed him should at least be deprived of any rewards."
