Unvirtuous Elites | Shabath ibn Ribi
This is the story of Kufan. This is the story of Shabath, who wrote a letter to Imam Hussein inviting him to Kufah, and then later became one of the commanders of Umar ibn Saad's army in Karbala. Shabath is an example of those people whose hypocrisy and disloyalty resulted, time and again, in the killing of the Ahl al-Bayt. Shabath is one of the reasons Imam Mahdi is in Occultation.
