Discussing and presenting the views about the personality of Imam \ussain and his rising and martyrdom, one will come across the story of a woman who was loved by Yazīd. So, Mu#awīya, deceived the woman's husband to divorce her in order to marry his son. When the messenger of Mu#awīya was on his way to propose her for Yazīd, Imam \ussain also asked him to question if she is willing to accept his offer for marriage. The woman preferred Imam \ussain. After a while, without marrying her, Imam \ussain sent back the woman to her husband and said that his aim was protection of his wife. Consequently, the purpose of Yazīd was not fulfilled. In some cases the importance of this history has been related to the rise and martyrdom of Imam \ussain. In this article various historical reports are reconsidered and try to evidence the fact.
