Ubayd-Allah ibn Ziyad ordered Meesum to be jailed and sent him to al-Tamura, a fearful prison underground, Mukhtar al-Thaqafi was in the same prison with Meesum. Meesum and Mukhtar would hold conversations in prison but later on the orders of Ubayd-Allah ibn Ziyad he was ordered to be hanged for creating mischief. Meesum was brought to the same tree to be hanged as pointed out by Ali ibn Abi Talib. Meesum began singing the praises of his master Ali, and about a thousand people gathered to see Meesum being hanged. Even after being hanged, the tongue of Meesum went on singing the praises of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Ubayd-Allah ibn Ziyad was informed about this and the tyrant ordered that the tongue of Meesum to be cut and thus the prophecy of Ali ibn Abi Talib came true and Meesum died after his tongue was cut out.
