After Mu’awiya died on Rajab 15, 60/April 24, 680, people gave allegiance to Yazid. He decided to take the allegiance of some of the nobles among Muslims who had previously rejected his father’s invitation for giving allegiance to him. Therefore, he wrote a letter to Walid b. ‘Utba, the governor of Medina at that time and informed him of the death of Mu’awiya and in a short letter, he wrote to him, “Take allegiance of al-Husayn b. Ali, ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar, ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr and ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr by force and behead anyone of them who does not accept.”

Then, Walid received another letter from Yazid, in which he had insisted, “write the names of those who approved me and objected to me and also send to me the head of al-Husayn b. Ali (a) with the letter.” Walid consulted with Marwan b. Hakam and then sent ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Amr to Imam al-Husayn (a), ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr, ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar, and ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr.

Imam (a) and 30 people of his close companions went to Dar al-’Imara (residence of emir) of Medina. Walid informed Imam (a) about the death of Mu’awiya and then read the letter of Yazid to him, in which Walid was asked to take allegiance of Imam (a) to Yazid. Imam (a) told Walid, “Will you be happy if I give allegiance to Yazid secretly? I assume you want that I give allegiance in public.” Walid said, “I have that idea.” Imam (a) said, “so, give me time until tomorrow and I will inform you of my opinion.”

The evening of the next day, the governor of Medina sent his agents to the house of Imam (a) to receive the answer of Imam (a). Imam (a) asked for the time of night as well and Walid accepted. Imam (a) decided to leave Medina

The Battle of Karbala is the story of the movement of Imam al-Husayn (a) from Medina to Mecca and from there to Kufa, that in the middle of the way, the army of ‘Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad led by ‘Umar b. Sa’d lined against the caravan of Imam al-Husayn (a) which led to the battle between them and the martyrdom of Imam (a) and his companions and the capture of his family. This tragedy is among the most heart-breaking tragedies to Muslims and especially Shi’a in the Islamic history

The movement of Imam al-Husayn (a) began from Medina towards Mecca after the death of Mu’awiya on the first days of Rajab 60/679; and it was the first action of Imam al-Husayn (a) to refrain giving allegiance to Yazid b. Mu’awiya. In this journey, the family of Imam (a), some of Banu Hashim and some Shi’a accompanied him

Imam al-Husayn (a) stayed in Mecca until Dhu l-Hijja 8/September 12; but, following the people of Kufa’s request of him to accept governorship and regarding the possibility of being killed in Mecca by the agents of Yazid, Imam (a) moved towards Kufa; however, before arriving in Kufa, he (a) was informed that the people of Kufa had broken their promise to support him. After Hurr b. Yazid al-Riyahi blocked the way of Imam (a), he (a) went toward Karbala and there he (a) encountered the army of ‘Umar b. Sa’d

یا قوم قد قتلتم شیعتی و أهل بیتی ، و قد بقی هذا الطفل یتلظّی عطشاً ، فاسقوه شربةً من الماء
ای قوم! شیعیان و اهل بیتم را کشتید و فقط این طفل باقی مانده که از عطش بخود می پیچد، او را با شربتی از آب سقایت کنید.

گریز تاریخی
این قوم عادت دارند که کاری کنند که کودکان بنی هاشم به خود بپیچند محسن هم مثل علی اصغر بخودش می پیچید وقتی که مادرش سیلی خورد.
این قوم عادت دارند که با کودکان بنی هاشم دشمنی کنند قبل تر از این هم یک مادری را که کودکی به نام محسن را آبستن بود به شهادت رساندن .

گریز روز
این قوم هنوز ترک عادت نکردند و در حال کشتن کودکان شیعه ی یمنی هستند.
