[15:25]fought so bravely men fully grown men would come with their swords

[15:30]to attack young qasim and qasim would fight back he would shield

[15:36]himself and would fight them at one point his shoe came undone

[15:39]hamid ibn muslim narrates that when a young boy came out from

[15:46]the tents his face shone like the moon they said we would

[15:50]never forget his face and this young boy would fight against men

[15:53]triple his age he would fight them but there was one point

[15:57]when his shoe came undone and as he bent over just to

[16:03]fix his shoe a man came forward and struck him on his

[16:04]head he dropped to the ground helplessly and then he called out

[16:10]ya ma uncle imam hussain rushed as soon as he heard cast

[16:15]him scream he rushed to the battlefield and he kept chasing the

[16:19]killer of qasim until he reached him and he killed him everyone

[16:24]heard the screams of the one who was trying to run away

[16:30]from imam hussain the imam chased him like a lion would hunt

[16:33]his prey and that scream sent fear into the hearts of all

[16:37]who saw this scene the imam then went back to cast him

[16:40]and he took his little body and he held it towards his

[16:44]chest gossip was already dead and the imam began to speak to

[16:49]him speak to him with no reply and told him cause him

[16:53]it hurts your uncle your question that you called me but i

[16:57]wasn't close to you to answer you and now that i'm here

[17:02]close to you i couldn't save you he held him up and

[17:07]he carried his small body back to the tents and laid him

[17:12]next to his cousin ali akbar he looked around and everyone was

[17:17]crying and standing around the young bodies the martyrs of the banu

[17:22]hashem the imam told them all patience my cousins patience my dear

[17:28]family then he looked up into the sky and said yo allah

[17:30]do not forgive them for what they have done to my nephew

[17:34]there was another young boy that went out to fight that day

[17:39]his name was abbas abbas he was the son of abu fath

[17:46]when our father saw all the youth going to fight he went

[17:50]and called his young son abbas and told him my namesake you

[17:55]saw what your cousins just did you saw what qasim just did

[17:59]and you saw what your older cousin akbar did now make me

[18:04]proud my son show our master hussein that i also gave my

[18:09]son imam al-hasan gave his son imam hussain gave his son my

[18:14]son now let me give my son go and show him our

[18:20]loyalty to him make me proud he took his weapon from his

[18:25]father and his father sent him out into the battlefield and abbas

[18:28]went and just like his father he showed the utmost loyalty and

[18:33]was martyred for the bus then went to his son took him

[18:37]and brought him back to the tents and laid him next to

[18:41]qasim and akbar he also wanted to give his sacrifice was still

[18:47]holding the flag which meant that the army of the imam was

[18:52]still alive he was the general and he looked around and saw

[18:59]that everyone had been martyred the sons of jaffa had been martyred

[19:04]the sons of akhil had been martyred these were the sons of

[19:09]abitalib now they were still the sons of ali ibn abi talib

[19:12]so the general abbas went to his brothers uml benin had four

[19:20]sons in karbala abbas jaffar abdullah and uthman abbas went to his

[19:25]three brothers and said my brothers step forward sons of alibi it's

[19:38]love you it's time for you to show me why go out

[19:41]and defend your master hussein let me see you until you meet

[19:46]allah and his messenger and so the brothers went to go to

[19:50]their older brother and imam imam hussain the three brothers hugged imam

[19:54]al-hussein kissed his hands and sought their permission then they looked at

[20:01]each other brothers let's go out and show them what the sons

[20:04]of the lion of allah can do let's make our father ali

[20:10]proud as we defend the son of fatima they went out into

[20:13]the battlefield and imam hussain and abbas they stayed behind them so

[20:19]all five went out but hussain abbas stayed behind them to protect

[20:22]the tents as well the first three charged out and they would

[20:25]fight together whilst hussain and abbas fall together at the back at

[20:30]the front the brothers fought bravely and abdullah was the first one

[20:35]to fall jaffar called out his name he saw his brother die

[20:37]in front of him yah abdullah he went to defend him as

[20:41]he was defending him they all started to crowd around him and

[20:43]they killed jaffa as well just as jaffa received his final blow

[20:50]he called out assalamu alaika both jaffa and abdullah were now on

[20:54]the ground of man was separated from his two brothers now he

[20:58]could see in the distance imam hussain and abba still fighting but

[21:01]he saw his two brothers in front of him dead and bloodied

[21:05]their corpse is there and now he was alone he called out

[21:09]you've taken two of my brothers but there are two more and

[21:13]i won't let you take them whilst i still hold my sword

[21:17]and he kept fighting and um called out behead him take his

[21:21]head take the head of the son of aliv so they grabbed

[21:26]him and held him down and they beheaded us man and then

[21:30]there were only two left fighting at the back now the enemy

[21:37]retreated there was no one left in the camp except abbas and

[21:44]hussein abbas and the imam hussain went back to the tents and

[21:49]they saw in front of them the children lined up screaming they

[21:57]were so thirsty couldn't take it anymore he looked to his brother

[22:06]and said sayyidi please give me permission to go and fight i

[22:13]cannot take it anymore i can't take watching these hypocrites and everything

[22:16]they've done abu father looked around he saw his nephews his friends

[22:23]his son his brothers they were all laid on the ground and

[22:25]only he and hussain left and the imam told him yahabas you're

[22:32]my flag bearer you're my army you're the last one left and

[22:39]abdullah told him imami you know why i was born you know

[22:46]that this is the moment my father always promised me let me

[22:52]defend you and your honor the children kept screaming but the voice

[22:58]that hurt abu fateh the most was the young daughter of imam

[23:04]hussain sukhina he had a very special place in his heart for

[23:09]sukena so the imam told him yah bus i give you permission

[23:14]to go out into the battlefield and bring water back for the

[23:20]family and this brought so much joy to his heart so i

[23:24]burst knelt down next to zocaina he hugged his niece and he

[23:29]told her soon i will bring you water like i brought you

[23:32]before and i promise you i'll bring the water so kana believed

[23:37]her uncle because he never breaks his promise i burst then went

[23:43]back to tends to say goodbye to the woman especially his wasiah

[23:49]his amana zainab so zainab embraced abbas even though she knew everyone

[23:59]she embraced up until this point went and never came back but

[24:02]it was so difficult for them to fathom that her burst wouldn't

[24:06]come back our best always comes back abbas was the strongest warrior

[24:12]in the army he bid zainab his farewell he told her he

[24:21]would bring back the water then finally he went to say goodbye

[24:26]to his brother imam hussain saw abbas as his backbone so it

[24:34]was very difficult for hussein to let our burst go out into

[24:37]the battlefield he embraced him and prayed for him and our burst

[24:44]mounted the horse with the flag held high in his hands and

[24:49]he charged towards the battlefield to represent his father haidar on that

[24:53]day he went forward and he called hussain ahmadine ali is thirsty

[25:01]and his children are thirsty let me go forward and bring water

[25:08]back to the tents and omar replied ya abbas o son of

[25:13]abu turab even if the entire world was full of water i

[25:19]would not let you take one sip of it i bursted very

[25:23]well he had his water skin in his arms and he charged

[25:29]towards the river euphrates tens and hundreds of men began to charge

[25:33]at abbas from all angles but a burst like nothing seen on

[25:39]that day would disperse of anyone that came right in front of

[25:44]him immediately no one could stand in his way straight away they

[25:48]were struck they were struck with fear they began to run away

[25:51]from all around him anyone who came in front of him would

[25:53]fall a bus pissed the entire army killing almost a hundred men

[25:59]single-handedly imagine there are reports that he killed up to 80 men

[26:03]one man 80 men he killed them and pissed them and walked

[26:09]towards the river finally he was on the riverbed he unmounted his

[26:18]horse he walked towards the river and he saw his reflection in

[26:24]the water his lips were also parched his throat was also dry

[26:30]he lifted some of the water in his hands and looked at

[26:35]it and threw it back into the river and said yes oh

[26:43]self what are you after hussain you are nothing without her saying

[26:48]how can i drink when my master has not had anything to

[26:51]drink how can i drink when sukena is thirsty that's not who

[26:58]i am he put the water skin into the river and did

[27:02]not allow himself to take one sip once it was full everyone

[27:07]was scared to come forward after everything they had seen from our

[27:10]bus everyone was scared to come and stop him so they all

[27:15]began to hide around the trees finished from filling up the water

[27:22]skin he mounted his horse once again holding the flag and he

[27:25]began to charge towards the tent all he saw in front of

[27:29]him in the distance was hussein and zainab and sukena and the

[27:34]only thing on his mind was get back to the tent and

[27:38]give them water he thought of nothing else at burst charge towards

[27:42]the tent as he charged the enemies would not fight him from

[27:45]the front anymore he was charging without any enemies in front of

[27:49]him but they all began to jump out from the trees behind

[27:51]him and chase him one of the enemies that was behind the

[27:54]tree as soon as a bus went past the tree he jumped

[27:57]out ran towards him and cut off abbas's left arm with one

[28:03]strike his sword cut through his arm and the blood began to

[28:08]spill from abbas's arm i burst saw his arm it dropped to

[28:12]the ground he still had his water skin held tight close to

[28:15]his body and he was still holding the flag he ignored what

[28:20]just happened and he kept riding towards the tent with one arm

[28:23]he kept looking towards the tents all he knew was he had

[28:29]to get the water to the children their voices were still playing

[28:32]in his mind as he kept running they began to chase him

[28:38]another man came from this side and struck his right arm a

[28:43]distance from where his left dropped this time his right arm was

[28:48]cut blood began to spill from his right arm but he still

[28:51]held the flag close with his arm towards his chest with his

[28:53]shoulder and kept the water skin close to him now he kept

[28:59]running towards the tents he kept going whilst on his horse riding

[29:02]towards the tents they kept trying to chase him for the bus

[29:05]and shooting arrows at him arrow after arrow abbas kept moving forward

[29:10]until an arrow pierced the water skin when the arrow pissed the

[29:20]water skin her burst finally stopped he stopped moving towards the tents

[29:27]this is the arrow that broke out burst's heart a burst now

[29:31]without any arms and the arrow was in the water skin and

[29:33]the water had dripped out he saw the water dripping and with

[29:38]it dripped all of his hopes he kept hearing the voices of

[29:43]the children screaming a man came from behind with a metal spear

[29:52]and struck it onto the head of our bus a bus dropped

[29:57]off of the horse without any arms to break his fall the

[30:02]flag also dropped i burst dropped onto the ground but got up

[30:05]but he stopped running towards the tents he could only defend himself

[30:11]now by kicking at his enemies they all began to surround him

[30:15]from all sides he would look but his heart was broken even

[30:19]if he could survive he knew what could he give now to

[30:23]the children then an arrow was shot and pierced his eye now

[30:30]with no arms and with one eye abba stood in confusion how

[30:36]does he go back to the tent without any water they began

[30:43]to surround her bursts from all angles and strike their swords and

[30:49]their spears into him and he called out imam hussain rode out

[30:57]like a lion now hussein was alone charging towards our bus before

[31:02]abbas would be with him now there's no one with him he

[31:06]charges the enemies dispersed once again imam hussain gets off of his

[31:14]horse and he begins to walk following the puddle of blood and

[31:17]in the middle of the huge puddle of blood was a mutilated

[31:22]abu for the abbas with the flag on the ground blood all

[31:27]over him and blood in his eye the only eye you could

[31:31]see with abbas heard the footsteps of the one coming to approach

[31:37]him he said oh man before you kill me give me the

[31:39]opportunity to bid farewell to my imam then sat next to him

[31:50]and said ya don't you recognize me it's me your brother then

[31:56]our boss fell silent so hussain he took him into his arms

[32:01]wiping the blood from his face and he placed him onto his

[32:07]lap but our bus he took himself down from his lap and

[32:12]he placed his head into the ground and then hussein took his

[32:16]head back into his lap he said yahabas why won't you reply

[32:21]to me why do you keep moving away from me and haba

[32:26]said right now my head is in your arms and in your

[32:37]lap but after me you're alone in a moment you're about to

[32:42]fight the entire army by yourself and whose lap will your head

[33:22]able to fulfill my promise to sukena my final request is leave

[33:26]me here and ask young sukena to forgive me abbas had given

[33:33]everything his arms his eye his entire self his entire being but

[33:36]he was still ashamed because this time he was not able to

[33:42]bring the water back like last time hussain said very well brother

[33:47]i will leave you here but you must also give me my

[33:52]final request yes hussain tell me what can i do for you

[33:58]master he said call me brother call me let me hear you

[34:04]call me aki for the first time calling him brother instead of

[34:15]master and with that abbas breathed his last breath and at that

[34:22]point imam hussain he called out my back is now broken now

[34:34]there's no one left now hussain is completely alone in karbala he

[34:44]stands up and he leaves the body of abbas on the ground

[34:49]and he walks back and sukayna stood there she was telling the

[34:54]children that our uncle at birth was coming back but she saw

[34:58]imam hussein returning without uncle abbas so she asked she asked him

[35:01]where's on club bus so imam hussain just sat there and just

[35:06]hugged sukena and she began to cry and zainab walked out and

[35:12]she saw the face of yemen and she knew and she began

[35:20]to cry he was her protector and his flag always protected zainab

[35:26]and that flag was no longer there now imam hussain is the

[35:30]last warrior left in his army without a flag the imam looked

[35:36]up to the heavens lord you are my trust in every difficulty

[35:44]with me now and give me strength i look to you and

[35:51]only you he in turn and saw the ocean of warriors that

[35:54]wished to fight him thirty thousand men and hussein alone what heart

[36:02]is this they could still stand after everything he had just suffered

[36:06]he then called out to them woe to you why do you

[36:13]fight me what crime have i committed then they say we fight

[36:17]you [Music] for our hatred of your father for what he committed

[36:26]against our forefathers in badr and her name this really hurt imam

[36:33]al-hussein because now he was the last son of aalim all of

[36:37]his brothers were gone at this the imam he started to go

[36:43]walk around the tents he began to call them out yeah oh

[36:52]my cousins habib where are you ya abbas where are you he

[37:03]starts to call out the names of his warriors how can i

[37:08]call you and you not reply almost honorable of men if only

[37:19]slumber you would see that the family of rasulullah is in danger

[37:25]and you would not ignore my calls but i know you can't

[37:30]be here right now and soon i will be with you again

[37:34]inna lila called out the imam to god we belong and to

[37:43]him we return then he went to zainab and told zainab bring

[37:45]me a cloth that i can wear under my clothes once i

[37:49]go to fight them they'll want to take my armor and everything

[37:53]that i'm wearing the imam knew what they had in store for

[37:56]him so we had to protect his honor they brought him a

[38:00]cloth the imam went into his tent he wore his armor over

[38:04]the cloth and went back outside he prepared himself for the final

[38:08]farewell and he called out once again helman nasir indian suruna is

[38:14]there anyone out there to come to the aid of the family

[38:18]of rasulullah at this imam sajad heard from his tent he got

[38:25]up barely able to walk leaning onto his sword as if it

[38:29]was a stick coming out of the tent see the zainab was

[38:31]bringing him back from back my son she was trying to nurse

[38:35]him but he kept going outside and he says i'm here i'm

[38:40]at your service hussain looked back and saw his son ali and

[38:44]he said to zainab sister hold the ali and take him back

[38:49]to the tent he's the one who's going to carry on the

[38:50]message he's the one who has to carry on the noor of

[38:56]rasulullah take him back so that the lineage of the prophet is

[38:58]not cut off from this earth imam sajad was going through such

[39:03]heartbreak that he couldn't be there and die and fight for the

[39:06]honor of his father to defend his father then imam hussain told

[39:11]ali sajad my son go back to the tent i want everyone

[39:16]to gather around you now imam sajjad then turned around and limped

[39:21]back towards his tent and then all the women and children came

[39:24]and they all sat around ali sadjad and remember hussain began to

[39:30]say his goodbyes to everyone but before that he told him i

[39:33]have a final wasia to give you this is my son ali

[39:37]and he will be your leader from here on he will be

[39:44]your imam and i'm passing the torch to him then he came

[39:47]towards ali sadjad and told him ya ali you must carry on

[39:53]the message after me you are now the man of the family

[39:56]be their patients and wipe their tears because there is much difficulty

[40:03]coming for you all i need you to protect everyone and then

[40:05]he leaned in and he whispered and he said yeah the sacred

[40:12]books and the weapons of your grandfather are all with om salama

[40:17]in medina retrieve them when you go back to medina and one

[40:21]last thing he said to him tell my shia tell my followers

[40:31]that i send them my salam my brothers my sisters one thousand

[40:41]years later know that on that day the imam al-hussein was thinking

[40:45]of his followers to come and that places a huge responsibility on

[40:49]us the imam began to bid farewell to his family as the

[40:56]imam bids farewell to everyone he tells zainab bring me my infant

[41:02]child bring me my baby a six month old baby cedar zainab

[41:08]brought the baby who was not even crying anymore because of his

[41:10]parched throat the imam took him into his arms as he's saying

[41:16]his goodbyes to this young child says him brother he hasn't had

[41:22]anything to drink i fear for his death is there a way

[41:25]that you could bring him some water imam they took him in

[41:29]his arms and mounted his horse and he went and faced the

[41:35]army oh army o people if you want to fight me why

[41:40]would you want to make this young baby suffer what has this

[41:46]young baby done what crime has this child committed that you would

[41:51]deny him water as the imam said this even those blackened hearts

[41:56]in the army of the enemy were confused muhammad his main archer

[42:06]and told him aim for the baby and so harman took a

[42:12]three-pronged arrow and aimed it towards the young baby held in the

[42:15]hands of his father this tiny baby a three-pronged arrow was shot

[42:21]towards it and pissed its neck as it was in the hands

[42:23]of his father the arrow pierced his neck from ear to ear

[42:29]and the baby began to flap his arms like a wounded bird

[42:33]the blood spilled from his neck imam was saying his young beautiful

[42:41]son his six-month-old infant slaughtered right in front of him he held

[42:46]him to his chest took his blood in his hands and threw

[42:50]it into the air and not a drop of that blood came

[42:53]back down to earth then he said the same words that he

[42:57]said when he lost habib ya allah my pain is eased because

[43:04]it's all in your eyes he said this as his heart was

[43:09]breaking then the imam came back to the tent with the bloodied

[43:15]baby in his arms he unmounted his horse he took his sword

[43:18]and dug a very small grave and then he placed the baby

[43:23]into the grave and brought back the dirt and put it back

[43:27]over the young baby's body the mother of the baby cried and

[43:35]wailed and zainab cried the children cried imam hussain now still had

[43:39]his final destiny to meet the time was now near what are

[43:46]they to cry over were the woman to cry over all the

[43:48]martyrs laid on the ground those without heads were they to cry

[43:58]over the slaughtered baby buried in the earth or were they to

[44:04]cry over their goodbyes the final goodbyes to imam hussain and he

[44:07]said goodbye to everyone he looked around but he couldn't find his

[44:13]beloved sokaina anymore he asked them where's sukeena they told him she's

[44:19]behind the tents she's not listening to us so the imam walked

[44:25]towards the tents and he saw her sitting there under the sun

[44:27]and then he sat down next to his daughter and he said

[44:32]okay now why are you here and she said father i can't

[44:39]say goodbye to you and i feel like you're saying goodbye to

[44:44]us because you know that you're about to die it's as if

[44:49]you've submitted to death and he tells her my child how could

[44:55]one with no support and no aid not submit to death and

[45:00]she told him well can we go back to medina his heart

[45:08]felt so much pain as she cried and asked him he said

[45:12]i swear sukena if i could believe me i would take you

[45:16]back to medina she said father i can't say goodbye but just

[45:19]put your hand on my head the way they do for the

[45:26]orphans when they have no parents when they have no father and

[45:31]she cried and cried not knowing that those tears are like fire

[45:38]to the heart of imam hussain he kissed her and hugged her

[45:43]for the final time and then he stood up and he took

[45:47]her by the hand to his family he gave her to zainab

[45:52]and then he gave them his final speech my family keep your

[45:58]faith in allah know that allah will protect you and guard you

[46:32]allah will keep you safe now he turns toward his horse he

[46:37]mounts his horse he looks towards the enemy but then he hears

[46:40]the voice of his sister calling one more time [Music] he turns

[46:49]around and sees zainab running after him he unmounts his horse for

[46:55]the final time she runs to him and he embraces her then

[46:57]she looks at him and says brother one more thing before you

[47:03]go show me your neck and your chest so he doesn't ask

[47:08]her any questions he gives her his neck and then she kisses

[47:10]his neck and then she kisses his chest and he says zaynab

[47:15]why are you doing that and she says she sends hassalam to

[47:25]her mother then she looks up and says the ammanna has finally

[47:55]will slit your throat and i kissed your chest because it's where

[47:59]the horses will trample she embraces him one last time and he

[48:03]embraces his sister and he tells us hey i need you to

[48:09]be strong and patient i'm relying on you take care of the

[48:11]family for me he says his final goodbyes to say zainab then

[48:18]he turns he mounts his horse this time with no more goodbyes

[48:23]and he charged towards the enemy calling out i am hussein the

[48:31]son of ali and i will protect the family of my father

[48:35]and i will continue the path of my grandfather he took his

[48:38]sword out and charged forth the enemies came forward anyone who stood

[48:42]in his way fell immediately the imam on this day showed what

[48:49]no warrior showed the enemy reports tell us that they said they

[48:53]had never seen someone with such courage fighting with such velocity even

[48:59]after witnessing all of his companions die in front of him and

[49:04]carrying every single body back to the tents and witnessing his most

[49:06]beloved die in his arms he was fighting letting all of his

[49:13]anger out like a lion he charged from one enemy to the

[49:15]next they dispersed from in front of him anyone who stood in

[49:19]front of him was struck down his anger was finally let loose

[49:22]he was on a rampage taking all of them out he kept

[49:26]fighting and fighting and they would run and he would say where

[49:31]do you run his strength was god-given he kept saying as he

[49:35]was defeating the enemies he would say there is no strength but

[49:39]allah showing that this right now is god-given strength just like his

[49:42]father had god given strength on the day of khaibar and lifted

[49:45]the gate imam hussain was now blessed with god given strength able

[49:52]to take out several men at the same time he kept fighting

[49:54]and fighting until the enemy was able to split him up away

[49:58]from his camp they were trying to get in between him and

[50:00]the camp and the imam had a priority to always be in

[50:04]front of the camp to protect them so that no one would

[50:06]attack the tents the imam turned and tried to go forwards once

[50:12]again to protect the tents and he called out oh shiat ali

[50:16]abu sufyan if you won't care for your afterlife will you not

[50:21]care for your dunya and at least be free be free and

[50:24]dunya don't be a slave to it and shimmer called that what

[50:27]do you mean and he said fear allah why would you attack

[50:30]the woman in the tents fight me so shiva told him this

[50:34]one i will grant you leave the woman he told the soldiers

[50:38]leave the woman focus on him attack him all at the same

[50:44]time the enemies charged at him he would fight back but now

[50:47]that he felt that his woman was safe he began to pierce

[50:49]through the army and take the same route that abbas took towards

[50:55]the river to go and bring back some water he was able

[50:57]finally to reach the riverbed once he was going to get the

[51:01]water he looked at his horse and he said i know you're

[51:04]thirsty so am i be patient with me i will now give

[51:08]you some water as he was trying to unmount his horse they

[51:11]called him yeah hussein you want to get water but your tents

[51:16]are under attack they betrayed him they told him they would not

[51:18]attack the tents and now they told him they're going to attack

[51:20]the tents the imam immediately turned around he left the water and

[51:25]he went straight back but saw that no one was attacking the

[51:27]tents he went once again in between the enemy and the tents

[51:32]no longer taking their word their word meant nothing once again he's

[51:35]charged against the enemy he was fighting them and he called out

[51:40]to muhammad nissan yeah why don't you fight me one by one

[51:42]bring them all bring them one at a time and you will

[51:46]see what the son of rasulullah can do they were too scared

[51:48]they were throwing rocks at him from a distance they were scared

[51:52]to fight him in one-on-one combat so muhammad started telling them go

[51:56]towards him fight him anyone that came close the imam would kill

[52:00]immediately so they kept throwing rocks from a distance and then shimmer

[52:03]went to muhammad nissa and told him if the men keep coming

[52:08]towards him in this way he's going to kill so many of

[52:10]us order them tell them force them to attack him at once

[52:14]tell them to stop being scared otherwise we'll kill them so um

[52:19]called out oh men don't you know who you're fighting you're fighting

[52:23]the son of ali charge at him all at once don't go

[52:27]to him one by one so the men started coming shimmer started

[52:29]to organize them all a team of people holding swords a team

[52:34]of people throwing stones from a distance a team of people holding

[52:37]spears and they began to shoot their arrows towards the imam from

[52:40]a distance now the imam had arrows in his body an arrow

[52:44]in his arm an arrow in his shoulder the imam kept fighting

[52:46]the stones would be thrown onto his face onto his body blood

[52:51]was now dripping from the imam's head the imam then fell off

[52:53]of his horse he got back up they kept throwing the stones

[52:57]and coming at him from all angles the arrows were now in

[52:59]him he kept fighting them off he was exhausted he was breathing

[53:04]heavy whenever he placed his sword into the ground just to catch

[53:07]his breath they would say attack the tents and the imam would

[53:09]stand up once again immediately ignoring the fact that he was bruised

[53:13]and bloodied from head to toe he kept fighting each and every

[53:17]man that came forward towards him again they would still fall and

[53:20]still be struck in front of him as long as i'm alive

[53:25]no one will attack the tents the imam kept fighting to protect

[53:28]his family wounded he had 72 wounds upon each wound another wound

[53:35]all from the front he kept fighting until a man threw a

[53:37]rock that hit his head and blood spilled down over his great

[53:43]beard the imam went to wipe his bed and the three-pronged arrow

[53:46]pierced his chest this was the most painful arrow that hit him

[53:51]on that day it was a poisonous three-pronged arrow the imam took

[53:56]it and broke it now the imam was covered in wounds and

[54:01]arrows they kept pelting him with pebbles and rocks the imam became

[54:05]too weak to fight back his sword was now on the ground

[54:10]he was kneeling and he said he would keep speaking to god

[54:15]in this state he kept speaking to allah as the enemies would

[54:18]come forward hit him and move back now they were surrounding him

[54:22]and now it became slow the enemies were now around him the

[54:27]imam was breathing heavy the blood was everywhere and the imam would

[54:33]just recite the words of allah and would recite to allah and

[54:37]he started to say give me patience for your decree patience he

[54:51]would speak to allah in these final moments he stayed in this

[54:56]state they stayed around him every time he tried to get up

[54:58]they would come and strike him and he would drop to the

[55:01]ground he would try to get up they would strike him and

[55:02]he would drop to the ground he could barely move now breathing

[55:07]heavy blood coming out of his mouth blood on his gray beard

[55:10]blood all over him wounds everywhere the arrow the pierced arrow still

[55:15]inside him a man came forward and struck the imam on his

[55:18]head splitting his head and the imam dropped back to the ground

[55:23]the blood gushed forth once again another man came forward and tried

[55:26]to take his ring but the ring wasn't coming off his finger

[55:29]so he cut imam hussain's finger the imam laid there in this

[55:37]state they did this to him for almost an hour he was

[55:40]in this state barely conscious looking around him seeing all of these

[55:45]enemies of allah wanting his blood and he just kept speaking to

[55:52]allah in this state a young boy runs out from the camp

[55:56]of hussain he runs towards the battlefield the young son of imam

[56:01]hassan he runs out the enemy looks at him they leave him

[56:05]he runs towards his uncle hussain he tries to protect him leave

[56:09]my uncle alone the treacherous men around him came and struck the

[56:13]arm of this young boy his name was abdullah he began to

[56:17]cry and scream from pain laying down next to him hussain and

[56:22]the imam looked at him my nephew my nephew be patient be

[56:25]patient it's almost time abdullah could barely survive the blow and he

[56:31]died remember hussein looked at his nephew and looked at the people

[56:34]he couldn't get up to defend his nephew his heart was breaking

[56:38]as his body and bones were already broken the imam laid there

[56:42]will i be slaughtered thirsty and my grandfather is muhammad al-mustafa will

[56:50]i be slaughtered thirsty by my father is the enemies were all

[56:58]around him now no one wanted to finish him off shimmer would

[57:01]tell them what's wrong with you all go towards him the imam's

[57:06]face shone bright despite the fact that he was covered in blood

[57:09]they would torture him but they would not kill him a man

[57:14]came and stabbed him in his ribs another man shot at him

[57:18]with an arrow from point-blank range and the arrow pierced his jaw

[57:21]another man came they would smash him with swords and spears the

[57:24]imam still laid there they would attack him from all angles but

[57:27]no one would deal him the final blow a man then stepped

[57:34]forward he brought his dagger he came close to the head of

[57:37]the imam and the imam looked at him with his bright eyes

[57:40]and the man felt fear move throughout his whole body and he

[57:45]stepped back and shimmer told him what's wrong with you and he

[57:48]said i saw halibut in his eyes i remembered his father so

[57:52]shimmer told him you cowered he took the dagger from him and

[57:56]he told him no one is more worthy of killing hussain than

[58:02]i and then he walked towards imam al-hussein the white horse of

[58:07]the imam had already went back to the tent and it was

[58:10]covered in blood back to the tent without a rider zainab salaam

[58:15]was watching on shimmer comes towards imam hussain and then he sits

[58:21]on the chest of imam and he looks at him and says

[58:25]don't think i will fear to kill you like those who came

[58:30]before me imam hussain just looks back at shinr with the blood

[58:34]spilling from his lips and his parched throat and he says shimmer

[58:38]do you know that you're sitting on the place that rasulullah used

[58:44]to kiss the imam then looks up into the sky and shimmer

[58:48]sits on his chest and he utters the famous words lord i

[58:54]have offered my children to see you and even if i'm cut

[59:01]into pieces i would yearn for none other than you as zainab

[59:05]watched on shimmer grabbed the gray beard covered in blood and he

[59:11]brought his sword towards the neck of imam hussain yeah imam i

[59:16]wish it was my neck and not your neck i wish it

[59:21]was my chest and not your chest i wish it was my

[59:26]finger and not your finger my family and not your family he

[59:32]grabs the beard of the imam raises it and places the dagger

[59:36]on his neck and he stabs the imam's neck twelve times and

[59:40]he beheads the imam as zainab watches on and then ahmed assad

[59:45]calls for the horses and he tells them trample his body and

[59:50]the horse's ten horses came on with their riders onto the body

[59:55]of imam hussein and they began to trample upon his chest and
