Dialogues between Muslim ibn Aqeel ( a.s) and Ibn Ziyad ( l.a.)

• Ibn Ziyad: You were desirous of something (the Caliphate) that Allah did not bring to fruition in you but placed with people who deserve it.
• Muslim Ibn Aqeel: O enemy of Allah! Do what you will. You and your father are worthier of this abuse.
