The rebels of Kufah approached Hazrat Zubair(ra) and submitted, “Accept the office of Khilafat after it has been vacated.” He also treated them in the same manner as Hazrat ‘Ali(ra). He treated them very harshly and rebuked them saying:
“All the believers know that the Holy Prophet(sa) has said that the armies to setup camp at Dhul-Marwah, Dhu Khashab and A‘was would be accursed.”
