Once Hajjaj bin Yusuf said: Stand up if anyone who has any kind of problem so that I can give him anything in the return of his problem, Sinan bin Anas Nakhii stood up and said: give me in return of my problem then Hajjaj asked him: what is your problem?
Sinan bin Anas replied: I killed Hussain عليه السلام then Hajjaj asked him, How did you kill Hussain? He answered: I shoved my spear in his body, and mutilated his body with spear and sword (might be he meant cutting of Hussain's head) and I didn't involve anyone in the killing of Hussain,
Hajjaj said to him: As far as you and Hussain is concerned, you and Hussain can not be gather in one place and Hajjaj ordered him to leave, the narrator said: I think Hajjaj didn't give him anything in return as he promised that he will.
[Al Mo'ajjam al Kabeer lil Tabarani 3/111 #2828, Tarikh ibn Ma'een riwayah ad Dauri 3/498 #2435 sanad Hasan]
-Hajjaj bin Yusuf was a tyrannical ruler and he was famous for his brutality and oppression but when he came across the killer of Hussain عليه السلام, he asked the killer of Hussain to leave his court, that was not expected from a tyrant but as he can't stand and cope with the killer and incident of Hussain عليه السلام he had to ask him to leave.
