Execution of Babak Khorramdin

The day of Babak Khorramdin's execution

The day before the execution, the caliph consulted with the elders of his court how to bring Babak around the city and show it to the people so that everyone could see him..

According to the opinion of one of the courtiers, it was decided to take him around the city on a pillion.

They painted the peel with henna and painted it; And Babak was put on it in a very disgusting and humiliating woman's dress and made to circulate in the city..

After that, the ceremony of Babak's execution was held with great noise in the presence of the caliph on a special platform prepared for this purpose outside the city..

For all the people to hear ….

Now that Dezhkhim is approaching Babak and Babak will be executed in a few minutes, several guards around and around Aknaf were shouting loudly, "Nood, Ninety" was the name of Dezhkhim and everyone knew him. .
Ibn al-Jawzi writes that when Babak was taken to be executed, Khalifa sat next to him and told him: You, who showed so much steadfastness, now we will see how strong you are in the face of death!

Babak said: you will see.

When one of Babak's hands was hit with a sword, Babak's face was stained with blood gushing from his arm.. The caliph asked: Why did you do that? Babak said: When they cut off my hands, my body will bleed and my face will turn yellow, and you will think that my face is yellow from the fear of death.. I bloodied my face so that its yellowness could not be seen .

In this way, Babak's hands and feet were cut . When Babak fell on the ground, the caliph ordered to cut open his stomach… After the hours that Barbabak was in this state, he ordered to remove his head from his body.
After that, a gallows was erected in the square of the city of Samarra and Babak's body was removed, and the Caliph sent his head to Khorasan. .

Babak's last speech ( According to the book Hamase Babak by Nad Ali Hamdani ) :

Do not think that by killing me, you will silence the Iranians' cry for independence . no ! It is stupid if you think that you can capture Iranians because you bought Afshin Watan Fosh with gold . I have started a struggle that will continue. . Now that you are tearing me into pieces, thousands of Babak will appear in the north, east and west of Iran and your fake power will destroy the guardians of ignorance and oppression. ! Know that an Iranian will never be oppressed and will not tolerate the domination of foreigners .

I have taught a lesson to the youth of Iran that they will never forget . I taught the youth of Iran the lesson of manhood and fighting, and now that your executioner is sharpening his sword to cut off my hands and feet, hundreds of Iranians with boiling blood are ready to revolt. Maziar is still fighting and hundreds of Babak and Maziar are ready to become men. Rise up and free the beloved country from the hands of the aggressors and the yoke of primitive Arabs and deceived people . But you Afshin . . . Wait for the day when this Moatasmi, whom you kneel down like a dog and sold your country to, will behead you in this hall and on this table. .

A man to his mother ( the homeland ) Cheating will have no place in the eyes of others, and no one will trust the person who has sold himself . And thus, first Babak's left hand was cut off, then his right hand, then his legs, and finally two daggers were inserted between his ribs, and the last words that Babak uttered with a loud cry were: :

"Paindeh Iran"

The day of the execution of Babak Khorramdin and the dismemberment of his body in history 2 zero years 223 A.D., which Masoudi considered this date to be very important for Iranians in his famous book Moruj al-Zahhab Babak's execution was considered such an important event that the place of his execution was called Babak's gallows for several centuries, meaning Babak's gallows in The city of Samarra which was the capital of Abbasid government at the time of Babak's execution.

The Caliph also sent Babak's brother Azin to Baghdad and wrote an order to his viceroy in Baghdad to execute him like Babak..

Tabari writes that when Dejkhim cut off the hands and feet of Babak's brother, he neither reacted nor shouted.. The body of this man was also taken away in Baghdad.

As Nizam al-Mulk writes in his political letter, Moatasim Caliph Abbasi, in gratitude for the fact that he had hanged three Iranian warlords, Babak, Maziar and Fashin, all three of whom had been captured by trickery, the assembly had organized a banquet during which 3 He left the parliament several times and returned every time an hour later.

On the third occasion, in response to those present who inquired about the reason for these absences, he revealed that each time he raped one of the daughters of the father who killed these three generals, and those present stood with him in prayer and thanked God for this..
