Many well known Companions of the Prophet who were known as the Qurra (those who had learnt Qur'an by heart), were killed, their properties plundered and their families harassed into silence or submission. Money was used for the purpose of fabricating Hadeeth. People like Abu Hurayra, a mere beggar on the streets, became so rich in the process that his inheritance, a mound of gold, had to be chiselled with axes to be distributed among his next of kin, after his death.

Mu'awiyah did not stop here. He went on to appoint his debauch son Yazeed as his successor and asked the governors in the provinces to promise him that they would support Yazeed after his death. Husayn at this time, was forty-six years old.

Husayn being a man of principles, kept a quiet watch on the course of events. He was bound by his own convictions to respect and honour the treaty signed by his brother, although the other party was a defaulter all the way.
