The Martyr of Fakh

Hadi put a substantial amount of pressure on the Prophets lineage and the children of Imam Ali in Medina. He cut their allowances from the Bayt al-Mal. He chose someone from the descendants of the second caliph as the governor of Medina, who was known to be hostile toward the Prophets lineage. The governor forced them to show up at a governmental facility every night to confirm their presence in Medina. If anyone was ever absent, he would summon the others and threaten their lives and wealth. Hadis harsh policies against the Prophets lineage motivated them to pursue an uprising against the Abbasids and their unjust government. The Prophets lineage came around Hossein ibn Ali, who was one of their elders with a great personality. Hossein ibn Ali was from the descendants of Imam Hasan, and had witnessed long-standing oppressions from the Abbasids against the Prophets lineage. Some of his relatives were already imprisoned or had been killed by Mansurs orders when he was young, such as his father, his maternal grandfather, Abdullah Mahz, and his uncle, Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya. They encouraged him to initiate an uprising, which he finally accepted. He initiated his uprising in Medina, where he conquered the city. He freed the prisoners and imprisoned the Abbasid agents. He then moved his troops of about 300 soldiers to Mecca to use the upcoming Hajj season as an opportunity to recruit from the Muslims and expand his forces. He eventually engaged in a battle with the Abbasid army, composed of around 4,000 soldiers, at a valley named Fakh outside Mecca, where he was defeated and martyred . Many of the Prophets descendants within his troops were also martyred along with him. He was then named the martyr of Fakh after the place he was martyred. This incident was the most difficult for the Prophets lineage after the tragedy of Karbala. Imam Kazim had confirmed the uprising of Hossein, the martyr of Fakh. The Imam had informed him about his fate of martyrdom i
