[5:21]you believe in what i say or not even though it is

[5:26]the truth there are men among you that if you ask them

[5:31]they will tell you that i speak the truth ask jabir ibn

[6:17]the sky and said oh allah give them no rain afflict them

[6:24]with barren years like the years of yusuf and make them slaves

[7:09]the kind of fighting in which heads will fall and arms will

[7:12]be cut off khur said are you not satisfied with what he

[7:18]has proposed to you umar replied if it was up to me

[7:24]i would accept his proposal but your master ibn ziyad has his

[7:36]to tremble al muhajir ibn ous called him and said you arise

[7:46]my doubt i have never seen you like this in any situation

[7:52]and if someone were to ask me about the most courageous man

[8:02]oh oh replied i am making a decision between paradise and hellfire

[8:11]and by allah i choose nothing over paradise even if it means

[8:16]death he then gradually drew nearer to the camp of imam hussein

[8:27]as soon as he reached the imam's camp imam hussein asked him

[8:33]who he was all appearing with tears in his eyes said my

[8:41]master hussain i am the one who brought you to this land

[8:46]and prevented you from returning to where you came from imam asked

[18:57]old when ali asked for permission from his father to go out

[19:04]to the battlefield imam hussain could not hold back his tears he

[19:15]looked to omar ibn saad and said oh oman may allah bereave

[19:22]you of your family the same way you have bereaved me of

[20:12]felt and the pain from the scorching sun ali al akbar came

[20:18]back to his camp asking his father for water imam hussain told

[20:25]him my dear son i am also thirsty and he assured him

[20:31]that their grandfather the messenger of allah will be the first to

[20:35]quench his stirrers ali went back onto the battlefield fighting with greater

[20:43]fears it was as if his grandfather imam ali was in the

[20:49]battlefield finally mullah ibn munqid approached him and dealt a blow to

[20:57]ali's head causing him to fall onto his horns his horse not

[21:04]being able to see due to the blood covering his eyes dragged

[22:02]i be thirsty and my grandfather says that there will be a

[22:07]cup waiting for you too oh dear father imam hussein rushed in

[22:18]seeing what is remaining from his son ali imam put his cheeks

[22:24]on ali's cheeks saying my son ali life is not worthy worth

[22:36]living anymore after you he then took a handful of his son's

[22:43]blood and threw it towards the sky imam hussein then asked the

[22:49]youth to carry ali's body back to the can the woman gathered

[22:55]around ali ibn akbar weeping crying and beating their chest the turn

[23:04]was now long for the 14 year old qasim the son of

[23:08]imam hassan imam hussein first refused to give him permission since qasim

[23:18]was the only memory remaining of his brother imam hassan qasem brought

[23:26]forth a letter to imam hussain which was written by his father

[23:33]imam hassan urging imam hussein to allow his son to fight imam

[23:41]hugged qasim and continued to weep imam hakkasem and continued to weep

[23:58]he then prepared him for battle and allowed him to go qasim

[24:58]the test they placed his body next to the body of ali

[25:04]ibn al akbar and the other youth when abbas saw the deltoid

[25:13]rising he stood up and ordered his brothers abdullah uthman and jafar

[25:20]to enter the battlefield and fight one by one one by one

[25:26]his brothers fought and were killed it was now time for abba's

[25:44]himself it was now time for abbas himself to enter the battlefield

[26:04]he approached his brother imam hussein to seek permission to go out

[26:09]and find my youth imam hussein did not want to lose tears

[26:29]filled his eyes oh brother imam hussein said you are the bearer

[26:38]of my flag if you die my entire army will collapse and

[26:45]my enemies will rejoice abbas replied in my dear brother i am

[26:55]tired of these hypocrites i cannot stand the sounds of the children

[27:01]crying out of thirst i cannot hear them cry out imam hussein

[27:14]saw abbas adamant about fighting he said my brother before you go

[27:20]out to battle go out and seek some water for these thirsty

[27:25]children abbas immediately mounted his horse he took the water container and

[27:35]headed towards the river cutting through the enemy lines he was surrounded

[27:41]by many troops who shot at him with their arrows but he

[27:46]did not fear their multitudes the standard hoisted over his head he

[27:53]started attacking them causing them to flee in front of him and

[27:59]he managed to reach the bank of the river with fortitude as

[28:12]soon as he reached into the river he took a handful of

[28:19]water to drink but then he remembered the thirst of his brother

[28:27]abba abdullah and the woman and the children he dropped the water

[28:35]immediately immediately he could not drink while imam hussain and the children

[28:40]were still thirsty abbas filled his water container he mounted his horse
