The participation of the Sahaba and their sons in killing Hadhrath Muslim bin Aqeel (as)
We have clear proof that prior to his invitation to come to Kufa Yazeed had resolved to take whatever steps were necessary to extract bayya from Imam Hussain (as). When Muawiya died Yazeed wrote to his Governor in Madina, Waleed bin Utbah:
Adopt a tough attitude in obtaining bayya from Hussain, Abdullah Ibn Umar, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr, do not delay, nor display any signs of weakness, do not leave them until they give bayya.
Al Bidaya wal Nihayah (Urdu) Vol 8 page 1004, Nafees Acadmy Karachi
In this connection Waleed summoned Marwan and asked his opinion on which he said:
They are aware that Muawiya has died, invite them to give bayya, should they refuse then strike off their necks.
Al Bidaya wal Nihayah (Urdu) Vol 8 page 1004, Nafees Acadmy Karachi
Upon returning to Makka he [Hussain] received letters from the people of Kufa, He sent Muslim bin Aqeel to go and assess the situation. Outwardly the people portrayed their support for Muslim bin Aqeel and in turn for Hussain 1000 people gave bayya. Spies notified Numan bin Basheer, he did not openly adopt tough measures, but in this regard gave a sermon warning people against sedition and urged the people to remain loyal in the bayya that been afforded to Yazeed. One man stood up and said to Numan This matter cannot be curtailed without adopting force, the approach that you have adopted is like that of weak people.
Yazeed said to Ibn Ziyad When in Kufa find Muslim bin Aqeel and then kill him. Ibn Ziyad arrived in Kufa with 17 men having assessed the situation he spoke to the respectable people in his palace and queried the whereabouts of Muslim bin Aqeel. There was some opposition but Ubaydullah abducted these notables and deterred people from supporting Muslim.
So much so that by Maghrib prayers only thirty people remained with him, by night fall they also deserted him. That night Muslim stayed in the home of an elderly lady, her son notified Abdul Rahman bin Asheesh. Abdul Rahman told his father at that same time who was in Ubaydullahs house, Ibn Ziyad asked why the secrecy, they told him and Ibn Ziyad immediately sent 70-80 men headed by Ibn Harith Makhzomi who was the head of police. Muhammad bin Asheesh and Abdul Rahman were with them. They collectively captured [Muslim] and sent him to Ibn Ziyad residence. Upon reaching the doors of the residence (he was met by) some of the sons of the Sahaba standing there. Muslim did not recognise them although they recognised him. They were waiting to meet Ibn Ziyad, Muslims face and clothes were covered in blood, whilst in that state he made a request for water, one of the group said, You will not be able to drink this until you taste the hot water of Hell. Muslim replied Son of Hell you are more entitled to drink the fire of Hell; than me.
Al Bidaya Volume 7 page 154
Ibn Katheer fails to name the group of Sahaba and tabieen that had taunted Muslim (as), Tabari identifies some names including one Umro bin Harith Makhzoomi.
Dhahabi states Umar bin Harith is counted amongst the Sahaba of Rasulullah (s) that had settled in Kufa he is a Sahabi who narrated hadith from Rasulullah (s).
Siyar Al-Aalam al-Nubla, Volume 3 page 417
Later Ibn Kathir informs us about Umar bin Harith:
Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad arrested Muslim bin Aqeel and sent him to Umro bin Harith Makhzoomi, who was the Chief of Police.
al Bidaya Volume 7 page 155; Tabari Volume 6 page 198
Those waiting to meet Ibn Ziyad in his Palace were Kathir bin Shahab, we learn of him in Tabaqat ibn Sad Volume 6 page 103:
He narrated traditions from Umar bin Khattab and was one of Muawiya bin Abu Sufyans Governors.
This can also be read in the Online Tabaqat Ibn Sa`d at the website of Salafies/Wahabies:

Upon receiving the news that Imam Hussain (as) was making his way for Kufa Marwan bin Hakam wrote to Ibn Ziyad, stating:
Hussain ibn Ali is heading in your direction. He is Fatimas son and she is the daughter of Rasulullah (s). By Allah! We deserve nothing greater than bringing him into our possession".
al Bidayah Volume 8 page 165
As Imam Hussain (as) made his way to Kufa, Yazeed also wrote to Ibn Ziyad stating:
I have heard Hussain is making his way to Kufa. From amongst my Governors it is you that is being tested, freedom shall depend on successful completion of this mission, or you could be enslaved again, in the same way that slaves are freed, or freemen are made slaves
al Bidayah Volume 8 page 165

i don't understand why Shia are obsessed with a political conflict that is 1400 years old...
May Allah have mercy upon the martyr Hussain, the leader of youth of Jannah. But why are you so obsessed with mourning - this is not in the Quran.
