[8:44]the commander of the left flank when imam al hussein saw their

[9:33]down and had driven away and eliminated all of these distressful things

[9:41]you are the giver of every boon and the ultimate source of

[9:46]every wish to be granted then he mounted his horse and stood

[9:51]in front of them ready to speak began by saying oh people

[10:03]and think to yourselves think about whether it is right for you

[11:10]god imam al hussein replied by god i will never give you

[11:14]my hand like a humiliated man nor will i flee like a

[11:33]said oh allah give them no rain afflict them with barren years

[11:59]of the kief meaning for they have labeled us as liars and

[12:26]went to omar ibn saad and asked him are you really going

[12:30]to fight this man omar replied yes by the almighty the kind

[12:35]of fighting in which heads will fall and arms will be cut

[13:01]to the camp of imam al hussein one of his companions asked

[13:06]them what is he doing al hur replied i am making a

[13:11]decision between paradise and hellfire and by allah i will choose nothing

[13:17]over paradise even if it means my death then al khar directed

[13:22]his horse to imam al hussain's camp and as he walked as

[13:27]he approached imam al hussain he lowers his head and he says

[13:32]allah as soon as he reached the imam the imam asked him

[14:15]ordered the bearer of the flag to move forward he then took

[14:20]an arrow and placed it in the arch and released it in

[14:24]the direction of the imam's camp and then he said to his

[14:29]army bear witness for me with the amir that i was the

[50:37]hussain which was from imam al hassan urging him to allow his

[50:42]son to fight on the day of karbala imam hussein had qasim

[52:31]he says oh allah do not do not lose counts of them

[52:53]and do not forgive them oh cousins forgear in adversity and you

[53:01]shall never see disgrace after this day when al abbas saw the

[54:56]the canteen of water the container of the the container and headed

[55:02]towards the river cutting through the enemy lines he was surrounded by

[55:08]some 4,000 troops who shot at him with their arrows but he

[55:14]did not fear their multitudes the standard hoisted over his head he

[55:20]started attacking them causing them to flee away from him and he

[55:26]managed to reach the waterline of the river with fortitude as soon

[55:31]as al abbas entered into the river he placed his hands into

[55:36]the water he grabbed the handful of water he brought it close

[55:42]to his mouth then he remembered the thirst of his brother imam

[56:42]had to go through the trees he had to go through the

[56:45]side of the trees they attacked them all together and hakim ibn
