Ka’bah and imploring, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Forgive me but I suspect that you will not forgive me.’ Upon hearing it, I thought to myself as to what kind of sin he has committed because of which he is despaired of forgiveness; however, I remained busy with performing the Tawaf. In the second round, I heard him imploring the same, I became even more surprised. After I had finished the Tawaf, I said to him, ‘You are standing at such a holy place where even the biggest sins are forgiven, so if you are asking Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for forgiveness and mercy, then remain hopeful, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the Most Merciful, Most Generous.’ The person replied, ‘O bondman of Allah, who are you?’ I said, ‘I am Sulayman Al-A’mash (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه).’ He held my hand and took me to a side. He said, ‘My sin is very serious.’ I asked, ‘Is your sin greater than the mountains, skies, earths, and the ‘Arsh (the Divine Throne)?’ He replied, ‘Yes, my sin is greater. O Sulayman! I am one of those 70 ill-fated people who brought the blessed head of (Sayyiduna Imam) Husayn (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) to Yazeed. Yazeed commanded for blessed head to be hung outside the city. Then, with his command it was taken down, put in a platter made up of gold and placed in Yazeed’s bedroom.

At midnight, Yazeed’s wife awoke and witnessed light beaming from the blessed head to the sky, shining and twinkling. Yazeed’s wife became terrified; she woke Yazeed and said, ‘Get up and see, I am witnessing a strange thing.’ Yazeed, the damned also saw the light and advised her to remain quiet about it.
