tragedy. ‘Ubayd Allah al‐Nisaburi narrated, saying: “I came in to Hemid b. Qehteba in the month
of Remedan. He ordered a lunch to be brought. Then he invited me to have food, so I said to him:
‘O Emir, this is the month of Remedan. I am not sick, nor have I an illness that makes fast breaking
obligatory. Perhaps the Emir has an excuse in respect with that.’ He said to me: ‘I have no illness
that makes fast breaking obligatory. Then he wept.’” After he had had the lunch, ‘Ubayd Allah
turned to him and asked him about the reason for his weeping, and he answered him:
‐When I was at Tus, Harun sent for me at a dark night. When I stood before him, he asked me:
‐How is your obedience to the Commander of the faithful?
‐I sacrifice my soul and property for him.

into the well. Then he opened the second room where there was twenty persons and said to me:
“Indeed, the Commander of the faithful is commanding you to kill these (people); they all are the

‘Alawids. He took them out one by one and ordered me to kill them. I executed nineteen of them,
and there remained an old man, who said to me: “Woe to you! Which an excuse will you have on
