When he saw the companions of the chairs and upon them were black clothes, he said, ‘Who are these people. It is as if they are Zabaniya (Angels of Hell) for the king upon a narrow street’. When he was close from Yazeed-la, he said, ‘Who is this inauspicious son of the inauspicious, the wide of throat, they struck upon the nose? ’ They said, ‘Shh, O Bedouin! He-la is the son-la of the king, Yazeed-la’. He said, ‘And who is Yazeed-la, may Allah-azwj not Increase his-la provision, nor Let him-la reach his-la aim. And who is his-la father. They were both for long diving into the rough sea, and today they are both sitting upon the throne of caliphate’. Yazeed-la heard that and fumed, and thought of killing him out of anger. Then he-la disliked to do anything new without the permission of his-la father out of fear from him, and he-la swallowed his-la anger, and concealed his-la fire and greeted unto him. He-la said, ‘O Bedouin! Commander of the faithful conveys the greetings to you’. He said, ‘His-asws greeting is with me from Al-Kufa’.

He said, ‘The greetings be unto you, O you king, the disobedient’. Amro Bin Al-Aas went near him and said, ‘Woe be unto you, O Bedouin! What prevents you from calling him ‘Amir Al-Momineen’? ’
The Bedouin said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you, O idiot! We are the Momineen, so who made him rule upon us with the caliphate? ’ Muawiya said, ‘What is with you, O Bedouin? ’ He said, ‘A sealed letter from an Infallible Imam-asws’. He said, ‘Give it’.

An unjust ruler and a treacherous Vizier’. He said, ‘Give it to this son-la of mine’, and gestured towards Yazeed-la. He said, ‘We are not pleased with Iblees-la, so how can we be with his-la children? ’
