The Wahhabi sack of Karbala occurred on 21April 1802 (1216 H), under the rule of Abdulaziz bin Muhammad Al Saud, the second ruler of the Emirate of Diriyah. Approximately 12,000 Wahhabis from Najd attacked the city of Karbala.[5]: 387 The raid was conducted in retaliation against attacks on Hajj caravans by Iraqi tribes[6] and coincided with the anniversary of Ghadir Khumm,[3] or 10thMuharram.[2]: 74
The Wahhabis killed between 2,000[2]: 74 and 5,000[3] of the inhabitants and plundered the tomb of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and son of Ali ibn Abi Talib,[2]: 74 and destroyed its dome, seizing a large quantity of spoils, including gold, Persian carpets, money, pearls, and guns that had accumulated in the tomb, most of them donations. The attack lasted for eight hours, after which the Wahhabis left the city with more than 4,000 camels carrying their plunder.[4]
