Hadi put a substantial amount of pressure on the Prophet’s lineage and the children of Imam Ali in Medina. He cut their allowances from the Bayt al-Mal. He chose someone from the descendants of the second caliph as the governor of Medina, who was known to be hostile toward the Prophet’s lineage. The governor forced them to show up at a governmental facility every night to confirm their presence in Medina. If anyone was ever absent, he would summon the others and threaten their lives and wealth.
Hadi’s harsh policies against the Prophet’s lineage motivated them to pursue an uprising against the Abbasids and their unjust government. The Prophet’s lineage came around Hossein ibn Ali, who was one of their elders with a great personality. Hossein ibn Ali was from the descendants of Imam Hasan, and had witnessed long-standing oppressions from the Abbasids against the Prophet’s lineage. Some of his relatives were already imprisoned or had been killed by Mansur’s orders when he was young, such as his father, his maternal grandfather, Abdullah Mahz, and his uncle, Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya. They encouraged him to initiate an uprising, which he finally accepted. He initiated his uprising in Medina, where he conquered the city. He freed the prisoners and imprisoned the Abbasid agents. He then moved his troops of about 300 soldiers to Mecca to use the upcoming Hajj season as an opportunity to recruit from the Muslims and expand his forces. He eventually engaged in a battle with the Abbasid army, composed of around 4,000 soldiers, at a valley named Fakh outside Mecca, where he was defeated and martyred . Many of the Prophet’s descendants within his troops were also martyred along with him. He was then named ‘the martyr of Fakh’ after the place he was martyred. This incident was the most difficult for the Prophet’s lineage after the tragedy of Karbala.
Imam Kazim had confirmed the uprising of Hossein, the martyr of Fakh. The Imam had informed him about his fate of martyrdom in his uprising. The Imam, who had witnessed his strong will for uprising, advised him to be strong and persistent in his chosen destiny, and wished him a great reward from God. When the Imam received the news of the martyrdom of Hossein, he cried and expressed his sorrow by saying that Hossein was a righteous believer, and unique in his family. The Imam testified that Hossein was martyred while he was inviting the people to good and forbidding them from evil.
When the hostages and the heads of the martyrs arrived at Hadi’s palace in Baghdad, he ordered the beheading of the hostages and hanged their bodies in the city. He angrily accused Imam Kazim of providing hidden authority and guidance for the uprising. Hadi claimed that Hossein, the martyr of Fakh, followed Imam Kazim’s order for the uprising, as the Imam was the most well-known person in the Prophet’s lineage. He then vowed firmly to kill and finish the Imam.
