🌹Martyrdom of the Grandson of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) - 03🌹

Badr bin Suhail was watching all this. He started swearing at the other fighters saying they were cowards and did not know how to fight. He sent one of his sons to fight. Imam Hussain said, ‘It would be better if your boasting father came to fight so he would not have to see his son dying’. In no time Imam sent him into Hell. Badr could not bear to see this state of his son and leaped forward to attack Imam Hussain with his spear. Imam defended his attack. Badr then removed his sword and attacked. Imam again saved his attack and launched such a mighty blow that Badr’s head went rolling like a football.

One after the other they all came to try their luck but none could withstand the power of Zulfiqar. The bodies kept piling up. There was a roar in the camps of the enemy that if the son of the lion of Allah continues in this way then none of us will survive. Cowards then decided to attack from all sides. Imaam Hussain was surrounded from all sides by bare swords thirsty of his blood. But when the Zulfiqar came into action, the heads of the enemies dropped like leaves on the ground.

When Amr bin Sa’ad saw that his trick had failed miserably, he ordered to shoot arrows from all sides. Imam was being bombarded with arrows from all directions. It was one against thousands now. His horse was so injured that it could not move anymore. Imaam Hussain’s body got covered with so many wounds that blood was gushing all over his body. Suddenly a poison-tipped spear hit his blessed forehead, the same forehead which was always kissed by Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam). Imam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) now lied sub-conscious on the ground. But the attacks did not stop. The wicked souls were still attacking him with spears. One of the spears went right across his body. After suffering seventy two lethal wounds, he bowed down in prostration. It was in this state that his blessed soul left his body and entered into the eternal pleasure and mercy of his Lord.
(Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji’oon)

At the time Imaam Hussain RadiyAllahu attained the highest degree of martyrdom, his age was 56 years 5 months and 5 days. The date was 10th Muharram 61 Hijri. Nadhr bin Harsa came forward to detach his blessed head from his body but was terrified by the majesty of the Imam’s body. Then Khola bin Yazeed, Sunaan bin Anas or Shimar was the ill-fated dog who did the gruesome task. Yazeed and his followers did not stop there. They went on a looting spree not even sparing the clothes and shoes on Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu)’s body. They then turned towards the camps that were sheltering the women of the family of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam), insulting and looting them. Then Amr bin Sa’ad announced, ‘Who will run their horses on the Imam and mutilate his body?’ Ten wretched souls volunteered, mounted on their horses and crushed his blessed body.’
