The Deputation of Kalb
Volume 1, Parts II.74.57
He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Hisham Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Sa’ib al-Kalbi
informed us; he said: Al-Harith Ibn Amr al-Kalbi related to me on the authority of his uncle 'Umarah Ibn Jaz' he on the authority of a member of Banu Mu'Awiyah; a branch of Kalb; (second chain) he (Ibn Sa'd) said: Abu Layla Ibn 'Atiyyah al-Kalbi informed me on the authority of his uncle; they said: 'Abd 'Amr Ibn Jabalah Ibn Wa'il Ibn al-Julah al-Kalbi said: 'Asim, a member of Banu Raqqash, a branch of Banu 'Amir, and I started (on a journey) and we came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him. He invited us to join the fold of Islam so we embraced Islam. He said: I am the Prophet, untutored, the true and the sinless. Disaster and all disaster is for one who disbelives me, turns his face from me and fights against me. Prosperity and all prosperity is for him who defends me, supports me, believes in me, testifies to my words and fights on my side. They said: We believe in you and testify to your words. Then we embraced Islam and 'Abd 'Amr began to recite: I responded to the Apostle of Allah when he brought guidance, At first I was an unbeliever in Allah then I became a believer and I hope to receive a reward for it. I gave up taking augury by means of arrows and I see, I spent my age in similar pastimes. I believe in Allah Who is High in position, And I shall be rejecting the idols till I live.

Volume 1, Parts II.74.58 He (Ibn Said) said: Hisham Ibn Muhammad informed us; he said: Ibn Abi Salih, a member of Kinanah, related to me on the authority of Rabiah Ibn Ibrahim al-Dimishqi; he said:
Harithah Ibn Qatan Ibn Za’ir Ibn Hisn Ibn Ka’b Ibn ‘Ulaym al-Kalbi
and Hamal Ibn Sa’danah Ibn Harithah Ibn Mughaffil Ibn Ka’b Ibn
‘Ulaym waited on the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, in a
deputation. They embraced Islam and he prepared a banner for Hamal
Ibn Sa’danah who participated with this banner in (the battle of) Siffin
on the side of Mu`awiyah. He wrote an epistle to Harithah Ibn Qatan, in
which was (written): This is an epistle from Muhammad, the Apostle of
Allah, to the people of Dumat al-Jundul and those families of Kalb who
live in the adjoning places, and they are with Harithah Ibn Qatan. The
dates of the date-palms in the forest irrigated with rain-water are ours
and those in urban area are yours. (The revenue) will be one tenth (of the
yeild) of the farmers near the streams; and one half of it on that irrigated
with rain-water. (i. c, one twentieth), your animals in small numbers will
not be collected, nor will they be exchanged. I want you to offer prayers
in time and pay zakah in full. You will not be prevented from grass and
no ‘ushr will be levied on household effects. You have to make a covenant
and we will offer sincere advice. We make a covenant and promise in
your favour and you have to be sincere and faithful. There is the
guarantee of Allah and His Apostle. Allah bears witness to it and also all
those Muslims who are present.

Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin enjoyed great popularity. The people spoke with admiration about his knowledge, his jurisprudence, and his acts of worship. The assemblies admired his patience and all his other qualities. The Imam occupied the hearts and feelings of the people. Hence blessed was he who saw him, met him, and listened to his words.

This situation frightened the Umayyads, especially as it concerns al-Walid b. ‘Abd al-Malik, who was the most spiteful toward the Imam.

Al-Zuhri reported on the authority of al-Walid b. ‘Abd al-Malik, who said: “I cannot have a rest as long as ‘Ali b. al-Husayn is in this world!

When al-Walid became king, he decided to assassinate the Imam. He sent poison to his governor of Medina and ordered him to mix the poison (with liquid) and give it to the Imam to drink.

The poison reacted on the Imam’s body, and he suffered severe pain. The Imam remained on the bed of illness for some days. He complained to Allah of this and asked Him for forgiveness and good pleasure. The people crowded to visit him, and he, peace be on him, praised and lauded Allah for providing him with martyrdom at the hand of the most wicked creature.
