Re: Did Yazeed Really killed Hazrat Hussain (R.A) ?
Yazeed was indeed Innocent. Infact Shimr bin Thil-Jawshan was responsible for Hussain’s death and he was shia as recorded in both Sunni and Shia books. Shimr betrayed Hussain and joined Yazid’s men, giving Sayyiduna Hussain the death-blow.
To provide a solid proof of this fact (i.e. that Shimr was a Shia), we refer to the esteemed and classical Shia scholar, Al-Qummi. Al-Qummi, author of the famous book “Mafaatihul-Jinaan”, writes in his book: “I say, Shimr was in the forces of Ameer al-Mu’mineen on the Day of Siffin.” (Al-Qummi, “Safinatun-Najaat”, vol.4, p. 492, Chapter Sheen Followed by Meem)
