Evil people were devilish in nature, and Satan is the enemy of the pure and the righteous. They saw the Imams and Lady Fatima (SA) as obstacles to their wicked schemes, because their sacred presence guided people and brought them out of darkness. That is why they martyred them.

They were of a satanic nature, and Satan is the enemy of the pure and the righteous.

The devils want people to go on sinning. The blessed presence of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her) guided people and helped them become virtuous.

The Lady and her holy family were like light, bringing people out of darkness. The devils want people to remain blind and in darkness.

They therefore saw the Holy Ones as an obstacle to their satanic schemes, and for this reason they martyred them.
