Did the people of Kufa ‎(Iraq) ‏kill Hussain ‎عليه السلام ‏and his allies?

The group of Yazeed lovers always defend Yazeed to the extent that it gets impossible for a sane man to believe what actually had happened at Karbala, they shove all the garbage and accusations to the Kufan people who invited Hussain عليه السلام and try to set free the Yazeed and his army like they were peacemakers and wished aafiyah for Saydna Imam Hussain.

Shaikh Kifayatullah stated in his book "The people of Iraq and Kufi were responsible for killing Hussain, Yazeed and his army had no part in it never involved in it" [ Yazeed bin Muawiya par ilzamat ka Jaizah pg. 329]

They can do whatever they want and however they want but reality will remain the same without any distortion that Kufans invited him and Yazeed's army killed Hussain and his allies under the command of Ibn Ziyad lanatullah.

Shaikh Kifayatullah tried to prove his point that Kufans killed Hussain from a narration under the 5th stage of incident of Karbala in his book "Hadisa Karbala aur Sabayi Sazish", the narration speaks of the Hurr bin Yazeed's words or statement which he said to kufans.

يا أهل الكوفة لأمكم الهبل، أدعوتم الحسين إليكم حتى إذا أتاكم أسلمتموه وزعمتم أنكم قاتلوا أنفسكم دونه، ثم عدوتم عليه لتقتلوه
Woe to you! O people of Kufa! You invite Hussain and when he comes to you then you leave him helpless, have you ever cared to fight for Hussain then you attacked him to kill.

[Al bidayah wa An Nihayah 8/180]

This narration proves that people of Kufa invited Hussain for help and Hussain went to them as got invitation but according to Shaikh Kifayatullah, Hussain went to kufa not for their help or invitation but to stop them from going against the regime of Yazeed, so how come shaikh had derived his manhaj from this?

Other thing which is stated in the narration that Kufans left the Hussain عليه السلام helpless means they never helped him and never protected him, but from whom? if there's no involvement of the Yazeed's regime in the killing of Hussain then from whom Hurr bin Yazeed expecting protection?

And what about Ibn Ziyad who commanded to Murder Hussain عليه السلام and his allies 

Imam at Tabari رحمہ اللہ reported with SANAD SAHIH:

قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي سعد بن عبيدة، قَالَ: إنا لمستنقعون فِي الماء مع عُمَر بن سَعْد، إذ أتاه رجل فساره وَقَالَ لَهُ: قَدْ بعث إليك ابن زياد جويرية بن بدر التميمي، وأمره إن لم تقاتل القوم أن يضرب عنقك، قَالَ: فوثب إِلَى فرسه فركبه، ثُمَّ دعا سلاحه فلبسه، وإنه عَلَى فرسه، فنهض بِالنَّاسِ إِلَيْهِم فقاتلوهم، فجيء برأس الْحُسَيْن إِلَى ابن زياد، فوضع بين يديه، فجعل ينكت بقضيبه، ويقول: إن أبا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَدْ كَانَ شمط

Sa'ad bin Abu Ubaydah said a man came to Umar bin Sa'ad when we were taking a bath with him, and he whispered in the ears of Umar bin Sa'ad and said, "𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝘇𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘄𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗶 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻 رضیﷲ عنه 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝗳, after hearing this Umar bin Sa'ad rushed for the horses prepared his weapon and left with his army men to fight with Hussain رضیﷲ عنه and he fought with them (when Hussain رضیﷲ عنه got killed) he presented the severe head of Hussain رضیﷲ عنه to ibn ziyad (Laeen) by saying Abu Abdullah Hussain رضیﷲ عنه lost his hair (Nauzubillah).

[Tareekh Tabri 5/391]

This is just a part of a narration and the sanad of the narration is as follows:

حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ

Shaikh Arshad Kamal said Sanad is "Sahih" in [Risalaha Noorul Hadith January pg. 22]

Shaikh Kifayatullah Sanabali also declared the narrators of this chain as thiqa ref to his  book [Yazeed bin Muawiya par ilzamaat ka jayeza " pg.350-364]

Truth is evident from authentic historical reports that Kufans invited Hussain and Army of Yazeed Killed Hussain عليه السلام, both of the groups have blood stains on their hands. May Allah deal with them Aameen.
