 إمام السجاد صلوات الله وسلامه عليه اللهم سولي علام محمد والمحمد أقوم برداء من كربل أمام السجاد where he says ما بمكة ومدينة إشرون رجلا يحبنا أحل البيت in the entire Makkah and Medina I cannot find even 20 people who love Ahlulbayt عجيب Entire Hejaz I cannot find 20 people who love Ahlulbayt This is not a situation that happens overnight This is a result of enmity and hatred towards Ahlulbayt over a prolonged period of time Therefore what is understood from this is that when Imam al-Hussein went to Makkah he did not have loyalists or supporters In fact, majority of the dwellers of Makkah at that time were from the Quraysh even though they had come into the fold of Islam these are people who held in their hearts hatred for Amir al-Mu'mineen because it was Amir al-Mu'mineen who fought and killed the kuffar of Quraysh in the battles before Islam whether it was from Badr or Ahad, Khaybar and Hunain and therefore even though they came into Islam they had this reluctance and this hatredness which was buried inside their hearts for the family of Amir al-Mu'mineen Therefore, you find that Imam al-Hussein did not have supporters in large numbers inside of Makkah If this is the case, then why did Imam al-Hussein go to Makkah
