Abdullah bin Afif Azdi was one of the great companions of Hazrat Amir al-Mu’minin (as) and he lost both his eyes one after the other in the battle of Jamal and Siffin. So most of the time he used to be busy in worship.
When he heard that Ibn Ziyad was accusing The Cursed Amir al-Mu’minin and Imam Al-Husayn (a) of hypocrisy, he got up from the crowd and said:
Be silent, O passer-by, die, thou art a sinner, and thy father is a sinner, and he who brought thee to this place.
O enemy God!
He kills the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and then says such things from the pulpit?!
The soldiers wanted to arrest them, but their tribe did not allow this to happen and they returned home with their help, later Ibn Ziyad’s soldiers reached their house and besieged them, after the glorious battle of Abdullah bin Afif and his daughter, they were arrested and as they wanted from God, they were martyred at the hands of the worst creation i.e. Ibn Ziyad. became.
