consider the poems they narrated about him the saying of which is polytheism and the recitation of which is disbelief as something fabricated. how can it be fabricated by the striking of a stick between the two front teeth of alhusayn peace be upon him and the carrying of the daughters of the messenger of allah may allah bless him and grant him peace bareheaded on bare saddles and camels and the uncovering of the private parts of ali ibn alhusayn when there is doubt about his reaching puberty so that if they find him with hair they will kill him and if he has not hair they will carry him as the commander of the muslim army does with the offspring of the polytheists? and how can you say about the statement of ubayd allah ibn ziyad to his brothers and confidants let me kill him for he is the remainder of this lineage so i will end this century with him and kill this disease with him and cut off this substance with him.
واحسب ما رووا عليه من الأشعار التي قولها شرك، والتمثل بها كفر، شيئا مصنوعا، كيف يصنع بنقر القضيب بين ثنيتي الحسين عليه السلام، وحمل بنات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حواسر على الأقتاب العارية والإبل الصعاب، والكشف عن عورة علي بن الحسين عند الشك في بلوغه على أنهم إن وجدوه وقد أنبت قتلوه، وإن لم يكن أنبت حملوه، كما يصنع أمير جيش المسلمين بذراري المشركين؟ وكيف تقولون في قول عبيد الله بن زياد لإخوته وخاصته دعوني أقتله فإنه بقية هذا النسل، فأحسم به هذا القرن، وأميت به هذا الداء، وأقطع به هذه المادة.
