313. Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said: I heard Abu Ja’far  saying that: ‘Yazid Bin Muawiya (la) entered Al-Medina and he wanted to perform the Pilgrimage. So he (la) sent for a man from Qureysh who came to him. So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘Do you accept that you are my (la) slave, and if I (la) wish I (la) can sell you, and if I (la) wish I (la) can promote you?’ So the man said to him (la), ‘You (la) are no more prestigious than me among the Qureysh in nobility, nor was your (la) father more preferable than my father during the era of ignorance and Al-Islam, and neither are you (la) more preferable than me in the Religion, nor better than me. So how can I accept what you (la) are asking of me?’ So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘By Allah (azwj)! If you do not accept me (la), I (la) shall kill you’. So the man said to him (la), ‘Your (la) killing me would not be greater than your (la) killing of Al-Husayn Bin Ali  the son  of the Rasool Allah ﷺ’. So he (la) ordered that he be killed, may Allah Curse him (la)’. Then he (la) sent for Ali  Bin Al-Husayn . So he (la) said to him  similar to what he (la) had said to the Qureyshi. Ali  Bin Al-Husayn  said to him (la): ‘Do you (la) see that if I  do not accept you (la), you (la) kill me  just as you (la) killed the man yesterday?’ Yazid (la), may Allah (azwj) Curse him (la) said to him , ‘Yes’. So Ali  Bin Al-Husayn  said to him (la): ‘I  have accepted to you (la) with what you (la) asked. I  am a humble slave (of Allah (azwj)), so if you (la) wish captivate me  or if you (la) wish, release me’. So Yazid (la) may Allah (azwj) Curse him (la) said to him , ‘It is of a higher level (referring to the one whom he (la) had killed the day before) even if I (kill) or spare your  blood it would not reduce your  nobility’.
