According to Mas'udi, one day al-Hajjaj told 'Abd Allah b. Hani (a close companion of al-Hajjaj who had an ugly face) that your tribe has no virtue. Ibn Hani began to enumerate the virtues of his tribe. After each of these virtues, al-Hajjaj said: "Yes (it is a virtue)". Ibn Hani said: "all people from my tribe have cursed [[Abu Turab]] (that is, Imam 'Ali (a)). Moreover, they also curse his two sons and their mother (that is, [[Fatima al-Zahra (a)]]). Al-Hajjaj said: "I swear to God! This is a virtue." | According to Mas'udi, one day al-Hajjaj told 'Abd Allah b.
