He says concerning Imam al-Fasayn's sending of Muslim bin Aqil to Kufa to receive the oath of allegiance on his behalf he asked Surjaun Furthermore, I have learned that Al-Nauman is a weak person and received other negative reports about him Who else do you think I should appoint as a governor of Kufa? Our respected viewers, Surjaun appealed to the opinion of the deceased Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan on the matter pointing out that he had written a letter appointing Abdullah bin Ziyad as governor of Kufa and Surjaun urged him, meaning Yazid bin Muawiyah to unite Kufa and Basra under his governance Yazid agreed to this advice, sending Abdullah bin Ziyad the following letter of appointment, the one which I'm going to read out for you Our respected viewers, Yazid bin Muawiyah says in the letter which he sent to Abdullah bin Ziyad the following My loyalists among the people of Kufa have informed me that Ibn Aqil is there, meaning he's in Kufa gathering units in order to spread rebellion among the Muslims Therefore, Yazid bin Muawiyah says, when you read this letter of mine go to Kufa and search for Ibn Aqil as if you were looking for a bead until you find him then capture, kill, or exile him Upon receiving the letter, Abdullah bin Ziyad made an immediate preparations to travel to Kufa in order to find Muslim bin Aqil Peace be upon you, Master of martyrs when you were born and when you were murdered and when you were resurrected again Our respected viewers, this is what we have for you in today's episode Let's pray that Allah the Almighty hasten the reappearance of the Master of our time to interpret the message of his grandfather who says, I only desire to spread good values and to prevent evil Thank you very much indeed for joining us Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
