وَبِهذَا الإِسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنَّهُ قالَ: كَأنِّي بِالقُصُور قَدْ شُيِّدَت حَولَ قَبرِ الحُسَيْن، وَوَكَأنِّي بِالَمحامِل تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الكُوفَةِ إِلى قَبْرِ الحُسَيْن، وَلا تَذْهَبُ اللَّيالِي وَالأَيَّام حَتّى يُسارَ إِلَيْهِ وَذلِكَ عِنْدَ اِنقِطاعِ مُلكِ بَنِي مَرْوانَ.
According to the same documentation, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) said, “I can foresee the palaces set up besides the shrine of Al-Husayn (a.s.). It is as if many carriages have set out from Kufa towards the shrine of Al-Husayn (a.s.). Not before a few days and nights have passed will they set out towards him, and this is at the end of the era of the Umayyads [60] .”
[60] The Umayyad house was one of the major clans of the Quraysh tribe. Technically, Uthman, the third Caliph was the first Umayyad caliph. During his tenure (644-655 A.D.), he appointed members of his clan to various posts; in particular, Mu’awiya b. Abi Sufyan was given the governorship of Syria. Upon the accession of Ali (a.s.) to the caliphate, Mu’awiya refused to pay him allegiance, and in 658 A.D. the Syrians acknowledged Mu’awiya as caliph. That same year he gained control of Egypt; following Ali's (a.s.) martyrdom in 661 A.D., he subdued Iraq and then formally established himself as caliph. The Umayyads dynasty ruled from 661 A.D. until 750 A.D.
