🎋The Martyrdom of the Flag Bearer🎋

The flag bearer of Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu), Hazrat Abbas bin Ali (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu), approached him and asked for permission to fight. He further said, ‘I can no longer bear to see Ali Asghar and other infants who are dying of thirst. Please allow me to go and get a bag of water from the river. Imaam Hussain responded, ‘How can I allow you to go as you are the bearer of my flag?’ But Hazrat Abbas repeated his words and insisted to be allowed to go. Imaam Hussain hugged him and gave him permission. Hazrat Abbas mounted a horse and started towards the river.

When the enemies saw Hazrat Abbas approaching the river, they blocked his path. Hazrat Abbas shouted, ‘O Kufans! Be fearful of Allah and be ashamed of having to face Rasool’Allah (Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam). It is so regrettable that firstly you invited Imaam Hussain and then betrayed him. And now you have joined with his enemies and killed his companions and family members. And if that was not enough, you are torturing young children and infants from the family of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam), not allowing them even a single drop of water so that they would die of hunger and thirst.

Just think, what face will you show Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) on the Day of Reckoning?’ But the treacherous souls replied that if the whole world was filled with water, still he would not get a drop from it. Hazrat Abbas became agitated and roared like a lion, ‘Hussain will sacrifice himself but will never surrender to the evil tyrants.’ The evil forces attacked from all sides but Hazrat Abbas kept moving forward until he took his horse into the river. He filled his water-bag and was about to have a sip when he remembered the thirst of the children in the camps. He could not tolerate the fact that he would quench his thirstwhereas the blessed children from the family of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) would remain thirsty. He hung the water-bag on his shoulder and rode towards the camp.

There was an uproar, ‘Stop him, stop him. If this water reaches the camp of Hussain then none of us will survive.’ Though he was attacked from all sides, Hazrat Abbas wanted to reach the camp at all costs, so he attacked so fiercely that bodies were falling in each direction and streams of blood was flowing on the ground. Just then he was deceptively attacked from behind by a man called Zararah, due to which his right shoulder was cut off from his body. He took the water-bag in his left hand and also fought with the same hand. He was further attacked by Naufil bin Arzaq and this time his left hand was separated from his body. Now he held the water-bag in his mouth but the water was not to reach the camp. An arrow struck the bag and all the water was lost. Soon he succumbed to the constant attack and fell to the ground calling, ‘O brother! Attend to me.’ Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) ran towards him and found his body soaked in blood and he was very close to attaining martyrdom. Seeing this state Imaam Hussain cried out, ‘Now my back is broken.’ Soon the soul left the body and Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) carried the body back to the camp.
