so the famous Yazeed or the infamous Yazeed is the son of Mahadeva on but much after him those of you that have heard of the caliph Omar ignored al Aziz the great Calif so he reigns for about two years now when he's given the Caliphate the is given the Caliphate he it is a double allegiance so Solomon if dr.
Malik is the caliph before him who gives it to him but he gives it to him with the condition that after him it will go to his other brother so Solomon's other brother he's eat okay so and this Year's Eve is known as you see the second because you've got the first Year's Eve so you see the only rules for a few years about four years approximately and then dies but he dies the death of a lover in torment Oh so let me tell you what happened to you
see the second you see when he wasn't like a leaf he came across he came across a slave girl a fine maiden as you do in your royal pursuits hahaha so he came across this girl called ha ha Baba some people say it's hey Baba but I think the actual thing was Hobart now he came across a Baba and he was infatuated Allah as beauty you know as
it truly does to the feeble hearts of men so you see became infatuated with this slave girl so he gets her he gets her he obtains her she comes to his place but he's just one of the princes at that point so the Calif at the time was his older brother Suleiman and Suleiman was a bit of a a bit religious and a bit kind of like strict so you get now and then you'll get a strict ruler so prior to him Walid I think was it wasn't really on it like that I think it was
even involved in some interesting Affairs but so the iron was quite strict and he doesn't rule that wrong long but he saw that Yazeed was getting distracted by beauty so he got the this girl and he he got rid of her I mean good harmony just set her free and said you off you go get out of here you and he told his heed off that you can't kind of cut off with she this one too distracting you know so you see the second anyway he gets on with life
now as as events turn out as time unfolds he becomes the Caliph after Omar ibn Abdul Aziz and things are going smooth and he's got his palaces and he's got life and he's just chilling Oh live living life he's like I'm the Calif he's rocking it so one day he's he's asked by somebody and some stories say it was actually his wife one of his wives they asked him that do you have everything in this world is there anything is there any
desire unfulfilled in your heart God if only women still ask these questions today say funny you should ask that I actually wrote a book it's it's only 20 volumes long so she says that is there any desire that is still unfulfilled because you've got it all Polly's miss that Kingdom and he says
haha for my help oh Allah little happy bill Oh Elly ah ish camina camina this is the you see so he says ha bah bah so she realizes ok an out of sacrificial love she gets whole tracks down a berber and brings her surprisingly women obviously that that would not happen in a 21st century scenario the 21st century
version of that story would have been that Annie was found dead in his bed in the morning appeared that he'd slit his own throat right so this yes so she this wife of his brings him however so she says to him at one point she says well she asks him again after a while she says you know I asked you before is there any desire that you still have and he says oh you asked me this previously and I told you hey Baba
and she says AHA and from behind the veil emerges the epitome of sublime beauty in the person of haba haba Bosley so you see the second is he's fly he's floating he's in cloud 9 he's off is living it he can't believe it oh my god is so his soldier is over mmm guys like there's all that Bollywood
background music has come on the car so this guy is having so he's now in a living paradise he's with hey Baba he's having the time of his life he's spending time with her and then he decides you know he's got a palace like a seclusion palace where they go off for for like you know like holidays brief holidays and things so he says I'm gonna take a Baba with me to the palace and we're just gonna chill thee I'm gonna have the time of our life we're not to be disturbed
not to be disturbed do not disturb so whilst he's chilling with hey Baba in this palace having the time of his life it says that he contemplated that somebody said that can they ever be a day in a person's life which is totally total bliss can that even happen and it is said that you see ii pondered over there and thought dur this is total bliss in the arms of hey Baba Baba body
however deep so they're chilling and they're eating all these kind of exotic fruits and they have pomegranates and things like this whilst they're doing that she chokes on a seed ha not a metaphor here armies on a pomegranate seed see this is the kind of crowd I get your filthy wine did we well she chokes on a pomegranate seed I'm not exactly sure they say it kind of tears her I
don't think you could tear an actual could you or so unless it blocked the trachea something I don't know but she actually chokes and dies she dies people these these games not know from tragedy so she actually dies and Yazeed ii is so shocked dismayed with display in disbelief that he refuses for anybody to remove her
body so her body is in the Royal chambers and they say he would just embrace her hug her kiss her after a death for days on end weeks until the body began to decompose and had an obscene odor to it and smell that the other people said to him you need to get a grip of yourself and you need to let us bury the body and they say they buried it and he went and dug it up again and embraced it and hugged it and
he just would this guy was broken and it was only a matter of maybe two weeks after that maybe three four at most and within days Yazeed ii died out of loneliness that is tragedy people this is what love can do so beware people beware for many an example has passed before you in history ich camina camina tragic
oath very very very very tragic but but I suppose the connection people have sometimes it can be that powerful but this was a king a ruler a dynast who was not only brought to his knees but he himself died because he lost ababa who he was deeply in love
why not feed a little eyebrow Allah and as it said woman'll happy as it said in in Arabic that this and from love is that which kills all right people let's refocus let's bring ourselves back right so it's getting late let's take a look at he died from heartbreak he did he did
tragic tragic I thought I'd share that interesting story with you so that's easy the second the son of Abdul Malik who ruled I think from 101 Hijri to about 105 or something right so somebody said wasn't that the who slaughtered imam hussain oh that's Yazeed the first this is easy the second there is then a you see the third as well who comes afterwards right so
