u need to refer bukhari sharif where it is mentioned that baayaat hazrat yazid taken during the lifetime of hazrat muavia…
bayaat was taken for all caliphs even if they were nominated, to gain acceptibilty for that nomination.

This made me laugh. First, Bani Abbas was already cruel beforehand, I don’t believe they would support Imam Al-Hussain in one way, or the other. As for Bani Hashim, all of** Bani Hashim was gone during that period! All of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib’s children had passed away. The only remaining members** were Imam Hussain, his sisters and children. Now tell me, were they not in Karbala?

u need to consult some gud history book. hazrat abdullah bin abbas was there even his son ubaidullah {who was also a muhaddis} was there. sons of haris ibn mutalib were there.
even historain has reported that there were around children of hazrat hasan. hazrat ali children from other wives were there.
about zubair ibn muatalib and abdul uzza progeny … i dont know
now how can u say that hazrat husaain was the only survivors of the bani hasham.
