His mother was a slave-girl, while Abu Marham Azdi and Laqeet bin Ayas Jahni killed him (May Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him). Abul Faraj Isfahani relates from Imam Mohammad al Baqir (a.s) and Mohammad bin Abu Sa’eed [1] bin Aqeel bin Abi Talib al Ahwal (the squint- [1] Abu Sa'eed bin Aqeel is the same man who had humiliated Abdullah bin Zubayr in the assembly of Mu'awiyah. Ibne Abil Hadeed relates from Abu Usman that once Imam Hasan bin Ali (a.s) went to meet Mu'awiyah, when Abdullah bin Zubayr was seated there. Mu'awiyah desired to sow the seeds of discord among the Quraysh, thus he asked the Imam, "Who was elder, Zubayr or Ali"? Imam Hasan (a.s) replied, "They were near (in age) to one another while Ali (a.s) was

eyed), that his mother was a slave-girl and Laqeet bin Yasir Jahni seized him and killed him according to the narrative of Madaeni who relates from Abu Makhnaf, from Sulayman bin Rashid, from Hameed bin Muslim. Mohammad bin Ali bin Hamza says that after him, Ja’far bin Mohammad bin Aqeel was martyred. While it is also related from some that he was killed in the incident of Hirrah. But Abul Faraj Isfahani says that I have not found the name of the son of Mohammad bin Aqeel named Ja’far in the genealogical books. It is also related from Mohammad bin Ali bin Hamza, from Aqeel bin Abdullah bin Aqeel bin Mohammad bin Abdullah bin Mohammad bin Aqeel bin Abi Talib, that Ali bin Aqeel, whose mother was a slave-girl, was also martyred on the tenth (of Moharram in Karbala). The persons among the progeny of Abu Talib who were martyred on the tenth day (of Moharram) were twenty two excluding those regarding whom there is difference of opinion. Ibne Qutaybah states in Ma’arif, that the children of Aqeel, who accompanied Imam Husain bin Ali (a.s), were nine men, of whom Muslim bin Aqeel was the most valorous. senior to Zubayr. And may Allah have mercy upon Ali". Abdullah bin Zubayr said, "May Allah have mercy upon Zubayr". Abu Sa'eed bin Aqeel, who was present there, said, "O Abdullah! Why do you get excited when someone sends mercy upon his father"? He replied, "I too send mercy upon my father". Abu Sa'eed said, "Your father was neither equal nor similar to him". He said, "Why did he not have a measure in it? Both of them were from the Quraysh and both of them claimed caliphate, while neither of them succeeded". Abu Sa'eed replied, "Withdraw this from your mind. Ali (a.s) occupied a place among the Quraysh with relation to the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) as you know, and when he claimed caliphate they obeyed him, while he was a Chieftain. While Zubayr aspired towards the cause whose commander was a woman, and when the battle of Jamal intensified he retreated back. And before the right would be distinguished from falsehood, he escaped. A crippled man beheaded him and plundered his clothes. While Ali (a.s), similar to the time of his cousin (the Prophet), proceeded further. May Allah have mercy upon Ali". Ibne Zubayr said, "O Abu Sa'eed! If you had uttered similar words to someone else, you would have known". Abu Sa'eed replied, "For whose sake (referring to Mu'awiyah) you defile him (Ali) is himself reluctant with you". Mu'awiyah interrupted their speech and they became silent. Ayesha was informed about their speech, and one day when Abu Sa'eed passed by her house, she called him in a loud voice saying, "O Abu Sa'eed! You have uttered such and such words with my brother"? Abu Sa'eed turned around but could not see anyone, and said, "Shaitan looks at you while you do not see him". Ayesha laughed and said, "Bravo to your father! What a sharp tongue you possess"! |
