According to [[Sulaym b. Qays]], one year before Mu'awiya's death, [[Husayn b. 'Ali (a)]], [['Abd Allah b. 'Abbas]] and [['Abd Allah b. Ja'far]] went to [[hajj]]. Imam al-Husayn (a) gathered men and women and friends of Banu Hashim as well as some people from Ansar who knew him and his household.

Imam al-Husayn (a) stood up in order to deliver his sermon; after praising God, he said: | ||
'''The first part of the sermon''' | |||
"And then, this rebel [that is, Mu'awiya] did to us and our Shi'as [followers] what you have witnessed. I want to ask you something; if I am right, confirm me, and if I am mistaken, then correct me. I swear you to God, the Prophet (s) and my kinship with him that you propagate my message when you return to your lands and invite those people in your tribes that you trust." | |||
Imam al-Husayn (a) recited and interpreted all Quranic verses concerning | According to another version: "return to your cities and tribes and invite people whom you trust to what you know about us and our right, since I fear that my right obsolesces and fades away: "Allah will complete his light, even though the unbelievers may detest (it)"" (the Quran, 61:8). | ||
Imam al-Husayn (a) recited and interpreted all Quranic verses concerning [[Ahl al-Bayt]]'s (a) virtues as well as what the [[Prophet (s)]] had said about his father and mother and his household. The Prophet (s)'s [[Sahaba]] verified all these by saying: "yes, we swear to God that we heard these remarks from the Prophet (s) and we testify for that", and [[Tabi'un]] said: "we swear to God that we heard these remarks from righteous and trustworthy Sahaba". Then Imam al-Husayn (a) said: "I swear you to God that you convey these remarks to anyone whom you trust". According to Sulaym, Imam swear them to God and asked: Do you know that [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] was the Prophet (s)'s brother when he (s) made the [[Pact of Brotherhood]] between pairs of his Sahaba, he made a pact between 'Ali and himself by saying to 'Ali: "you are my brother and I am your brother in this world and the afterlife?" They replied: yes. | |||
He then said: I swear you to God, you know that the Prophet (s) purchased the location of his mosque and houses and built 10 rooms there, 9 rooms for himself and one room in the middle for my father, 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a), and he then closed all the doors to the mosque except that of my father's room. Some Muslims talked to the Prophet (s) about this and the Prophet (s) said: "I did not close your doors and keep 'Ali's door open except by the divine order. Then the Prophet (s) banned sleeping in the mosque except for 'Ali (a). Now [[janaba]] occurred in the mosque, his house and the Prophet (s)'s houses and they had children in these houses. People said: yes. Imam al-Husayn (a) said: do you know that [['Umar b. Khattab]] liked to open a small window, the size of his eye, from his house to the mosque, but the Prophet (s) did not allow him to do so saying that: God has commanded me to build a clean mosque in which nobody resides except me and my brother and his children. People confirmed: yes. | He then said: I swear you to God, you know that the Prophet (s) purchased the location of his mosque and houses and built 10 rooms there, 9 rooms for himself and one room in the middle for my father, 'Ali b.
