Muslim Bin Aqeel / part two
After we spoke about the accident of assassinating Ibin Ziyad in the first part , we will speak about his will & death
The people who sent message to imam Hussein to save them from tyrant Yazeed had abandoned his messenger ( Muslim Bin Aqeel ) for many reasons , some of them were afraid from Ibin Ziyad and the others had been bribed by Ibin ziyad , so that Muslim became alone in Al-kufa , he hide himself in the house of Hani , when Ibin Ziyad heard that he sent hundreds of his fighters to Hani's house they arrested Muslims and took him to the palace of Ibin Ziyad, he gave an order to kill Muslim ( without trial ) , Muslim asked Ibin Ziyad to gave his will to his relative , Ibin Ziyad agreed
Muslim told Omar Bin Saad to sell his sword & armor, pay his debt and bury him after his death then send a message to imam Hussein to inform him about his death , omar informed Ibin Ziyad the will of Muslim
In spite of the hard situation of Muslim, he didn't forget to put his will .he also faced Ibin Ziyad with courage and told him " God knows that you are liar and you are unjust in killing the innocent people . then Ibin Ziyad gave an order to one of his followers to take Muslim to the roof of the palace to kill Muslim then throw him from the top of the palace , when Muslim reached to the roof he turned his head toward AL-Madeena Al-Munawara and greeted imam Hussein; he didn't forget him even in the last moments of his life then they killed him
