Hussain's Letter to the People of Basra[edit]
Hussain sent Sulayman with a letter to Basra.[1] In his letter, the Hussain addressed the five chiefs of Basra: Malik ibn Musamma' al-Bakri, Ahnaf ibn Qays al-Tamimi, Mundhir ibn Jarud al-Abdi, Mas'ud ibn Amr al-Azdi, Qays ibn Haytham, and Amr ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Mu'ammar.[citation needed]
So, God chose Muhammad over His creation and honored him as His messenger and chose him for His mission. Then, God took him (his soul) while he was wishing well for the servants of God and delivered his mission (to the people); and we are his family, children and vicegerents; and we are the most deserved ones among the people for his position among them; But, our people passed us to reach that position and we accepted, because we disliked disunity and liked well-being and cordiality among people. However, we know that we deserve the right which belongs to us more than those who have taken it….I have sent my ambassador to you with this letter. I invite you to the Book of God and the tradition of the Prophet, because the tradition has died and illegitimate innovation has emerged. So, if you listen to my word and obey my order, I guide you to the path of growth. And peace be upon you and the mercy of God.[citation needed]
In the Basra[edit]
All the chiefs that received the letter of the Hussain kept it secret except Mundhir ibn Jarud, who was the father-in-law of Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad. Mundhir took both the letter and Sulayman himself to Ibn Ziyad, who read it and ordered for Sulayman to be decapitated.[citation needed]
Both Sulayman's name and that of his murderer are mentioned in the Ziyarah al-Shuhada: "Peace be upon Sulayman, servant of al-Hussain ibn Amir al-Mu'minin and may the curse of God be on his murderer, Sulayman ibn Awf al-Hadrami."[2]
Sulayman can be considered to be first martyr of the uprising of Hussain.
