Verily, Karbala was fated to behold the calamitous events.
Imam Husayn quietened the wailing of Zaynab saying
"There is no need for you to wail. O dear sister!
Remain silent, may your Allah's mercy be upon you."
At the meantime, Abbas ibn Ali presented a report to the
Imam about the enemy proceeding towards them.
Hazrat Abbas, accompanied with 20 soldiers inclusive of
Zuhair ibn Qayn and Habib ibn Mazahir went to the
Troops to enquire what they desire, as commanded my
The Imam. "An order has come forth from the commander
That we order you either to submit or else we should fight
you." said the troops. Anathemas upon those who fought
The virtuous household of the Prophet (S), the devout
Servants of Allah. Then Abbas conveyed their message to
Aba Abdullah, and he asked them to delay it until
Tomorrow so that they would worship their Lord,
Supplicate, and repent. And they granted respite to
The Imam and his companions. The Imam utilized the
Opportunity and prepared for martyrdom, and also bid his
Companions to save themselves by dispersing into the
Villages and cities in the duskiness of the night. "We shall
Never do this so as to remain alive after you. May Allah
Never cause this to happen." Said Husayn's companions;
Abbas preceded in the declaration and others followed suit.
Then Imam prayed for them and showed them one after the
Other their status in Paradise. Thus, every one was forwarding
His face and chest facing the swords, so as to Enter The status
In Paradise. Indeed, they are the quintessential winners!
