And Ibn Asakir narrated that a group of people went on a military expedition to the lands of Rome and found written in a church:"Do you expect a community that killed al-Husayn to receive the intercession of his grandfather on the Day of Judgment?"
So they asked them,
"Who wrote this?" They replied, "This has been written here for three hundred years before the mission of your Prophet."-
And it is narrated that those who killed him returned and spent the night drinking alcohol with the head (of al-Husayn) among them, when a pen of iron appeared to them and wrote in the wall with the blood of this house:"Do you expect a community that killed al-Husayn to receive the intercession of his grandfather on the Day of Judgment?"
