THE STORY OF KARBALA - PART 10/01
THE END OF THE BATTLE

previous episode

Husayn came back to his tent and went to see his ailing 24 year old son, also known as Ali (Zaynul Abid-een) who was in high fever. Zaynul Abideen had no idea what had passed over his father. He opened his eyes and looked at Husayn. When Husayn told him that all male members of the family were already killed in battle, he stood up in emotion and asked for his sword so that he could also go and fight. But the fever was so high that he could not stand and passed out immediately.

Husayn went to see his children, wives and sisters to bid farewell. He came out of the tent, mounted his horse and fell on the enemy troops ferociously. Historians have recorded that Husayn was fighting and killing the enemy soldiers left, right and centre; and he kept saying:

' Do you see how Fatima's son fights,
Do you see How Ali's son fights,
Do you see how Banu Hashim fight in three days of hunger and thirst.'
