AT THE HANDS OF A FEW LADS OF QURAISH
Amr bin Yahya Sae'ed bin 'Amr bin Sae'ed narrates on the authority of his paternal grandfather; that he said: I was sitting along with Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) in Masjid Nabawi in Madina and Marwan was along with us.
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) said: I heard the truthful Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) say:
My Ummah will be destroyed at the hands of a few young men of the Quraish. Marwan said: Allah curse such youngsters.

YAZID ORDERED
THE MARTYRDOM OF IMAM HUSSAIN
(MAY ALLAH SWT BE WELL PLEASED WITH HIM)
A CONFESSION BY IBN ZYAD
Ibn Zyad himself said that Yazid ordered him to martyr Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) on the threat of death.
Imam Ibn Atheer (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) records the confession of Ibn Zyad.
Translation: "Now, about my martyring Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him), the fact is that Yazid ordered me to do this. He threatened to kill me if I didn't, so I martyred Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him)."
According to Islamic Law, if any person murders anybody else, then as a punishment, the murderer is killed. But Yazid neither killed Ibn Zyad, Shimar or other officials nor dismissed them from their offices. Instead, he expressed his happiness. Afterwards, out of fear that the situation might go out of control he expressed some sorrow in a formal, political manner.
^In fact, this wretched man
used his stick to poke at the teeth of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him), those teeth, which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) kissed.

Hadhrat Abu Bazrah Aslami
(May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) said:
Listen O Yazid! By Allah! Your stick is touching that spot, which I witnessed the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) used to kiss. Then he said: Beware, O Yazid! On the day of judgment, Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) will arrive with such grandeur that his intercessor will be the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and you will arrive in such a state that Ibn Zyad will be yours."

`````WE FEARED THAT STONES WOULD FALL FROM THE SKY
Due to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him), the people of Madina became strongly opposed to Yazid and pledged their allegiance to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him).
Yazid sent an army to attack Madina, which attacked the people of Madina and persecuted its citizens. On that occasion, Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) spoke to the people of Makkah and described the un-islamic activities of Yazid.``````

````The people of Madina agreed to pledge their allegiance to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) and gave him authority over their affairs. He took the pledge from them to fight till their last breath. Then he said:
O my community! Fear Allah, who has got not equal. By Allah! We stood up against Yazid, when we feared that stones would be rained on us from the sky. He is such a person, who declares marriage with mothers, daughters and sisters as permissible (Jayaz), who drinks wine and abandons Salaat. By Allah! If no one from the people supported me, even then I will use my courage and bravery in this matter for the sake of Allah SWT."
WE COME FROM SUCH A PERSON WHO HAS GOT NO DEEN

They (the delegation from the people of Madina, after returning from Yazid) said:
"We come from such a person, who has got no Deen. He drinks wine, plays tambourines, songstresses dance before him, he plays with dogs and listens to stories with thieves and rascals. O people! We make you a witness that we break our pledge given to him. Then all the people of Madina broke their pledge. People came to Hadhrat Abdullah bin Hanzlah (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him)and pledged their allegiance to him.``````
