THE STORY OF KARBALA - PART 6/03
THE FIRST MASSIVE ATTACK, HABEEB BIN MUZAHIR AND ZUHR PRAYER
Even after the martyrdom of Habeeb, Husayn was intent upon offering his Zuhr prayers at that moment. Sa'eed b. Abdullah and a few more men stood in a line in front of the prayer lines with shields while Husayn and the remaining companions offered Zuhr prayers under a barrage of arrows from the enemy camp.
As Husayn and his companions were finishing their prayers, Sa'eed b. Abdullah and all others with him were dying of arrow wounds in front of Husayn.
Husayn's seventy-two companions included Muslim Ibn Awsaja who was 70 years old and his own fourteen year old nephew, Qasim Ibn Hasan. As it was, those sevety-two were no match to Yazeed's huge army. Now, a substantial part of that group was already killed.
The remaining few friends of Husayn asked for Husayn's permission to fight, went to the battlefield either one by one or in groups and were killed in action.
