MUSLIM BIN AQEEL AND HURR

previous episode

This original was followed by 53 similar letters in the next few days. We can only surmise that not all of those people who eventually signed those letters were committed Shi'a. It was a matter of a popular movement of discontent against a tyrant. Many people just joined the movement because everyone else was doing it. Therefore, names are important, because that is how we will be able to identify the true Shi'a eventually.

There are various letters of similar sentiments that we can find in the books of history. All these letters show a general sentiment in the Koofan public of an open dissatisfaction with Yazeed, a show of wariness and anger against the oppression and hopefulness that if Husayn comes he will be able to free the people of Koofa from their misery.

The Allama then finds another letter of which the contents are totally devoid of those sentiments but, the letter does invite Husayn to Koofa. It reads:

"Fields are overflowing with vegetation and greenery, trees are loaded with fruits, ponds are filled to their brims. So come as and when you wish (fa iza sh'at fa-aqdam). There is a large group of people (ready to welcome you)."
