Lady A’isha was extremely angry at Marwan, who had been with her at the Battle of the Camel, and whose treachery she came to realize after regretting her participation in the battle and learning he was behind the killing of Talhah. The Prophet responded, "Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy".
All of these events and others deeply embedded the love for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn in the hearts of the Companions, proportional to their love for the Prophet ﷺ, especially since he directly connected love for them to love for himself.
Disorder broke out, people deserted, and looting became rampant, to the point that Al-Hasan himself was attacked and wounded. The sound of their prayers in unison was coming out of the camp as if Honey bees were busy to build their nest. Hur then refrained from doing that, but told the Imam he will take him to Kufa under escort to which Imam did not agree.
While they were discussing these matters that the time for the Zohr arrived and all of them, friends and enemy alike stood behind the Imam to complete their prayers.
By this 5th stage only about 50
people were left with the Imam and many of them were women and children.
Imam left Zabala and arrived at Batn-e-Aqiq at his 6th Manzil. Ibn Umar refused one hundred thousand dirhams when asked to pledge allegiance to Yazid, saying, "Is this what he wants? Hamiq al-Khuza'i, Abd Allah b.
It is reported, for instance, that Imam Ali (a) initially named him Harb or Ja'far, but the Prophet (s) chose the name al-Husayn for him.[6] However, scholars have regarded such reports as inauthentic.[7]
His Teknonym was Abu Abd Allah[8] which, like his name, was given by the Prophet (s) when al-Husayn was a child.[9] Also, Imam al-Husayn (a) was known by other teknonyms, Abu Ali, Abu l-Shuhada [father of the martyrs], Abu l-Ahrar [father of the free-minded], and Abu al-Mujahidin [father of the fighters (on the way of God)].[10]
Many titles have been attributed to Imam al-Husayn (a), and some of them are as the same as the titles associated with his brother, Imam al-Hasan (a), such as Sayyid Shabab Ahl al-Janna (master of the youth of the paradise).
Talha
But Yazid’s impertinence and arrogance made it an abject acknowledgement by the swearer that he was the slave (ABD) of Yazid who would dispose off his life, property and offspring in any manner deemed fit.
Then Hur went out to fight. When the Companions in Medina learned of this, they were outraged and openly expressed their anger. Though Ibn Al-Zubayr had become highly regarded in the Hijaz due to his victories over the Umayyad forces in multiple encounters, he did not speak of political ambitions while the grandson of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was still in Mecca.
Letters began pouring in to Al-Husayn from Iraq, pledging support and urging him to act.
He returned to Kufa when he received the letter from his brother informing him about the assassination.[64]
Imamate of Imam al-Hasan (a)
Al-Husayn (a) had the utmost respect for his brother. ‘Ali (as) was reluctant and waited for three days before accepting the mantle of worldly power along with the authority of Imamah.
Thus, Al-Husayn was killed, along with 18 members of his household and dozens of his supporters.
The martyrdom of Al-Husayn remains a bleeding wound in the conscience of the Ummah and does not heal with the passing of centuries. In addition to general proofs, Shia scholars mention specific proofs for the imamate of each Imam (a).[82] Al-Shaykh al-Mufid has mentioned several proofs for the imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) in his al-Irshad, including a hadith of the Prophet (s) saying, "These two sons of mine are Imams, be they sitting or standing",[83] and it is further proof of the Imamate of al-Hasan (a) and al-Husayn (a).
She passed away on the 2nd of Ramadan in the year 11 AH, approximately six months after the death of her father, the Seal of the Prophets ﷺ. From here the Imam sent a letter to one of his friends in Kufa asking about the situation there. Later, Amr ibn Al-Zubayr was punished for those he had flogged in Medina, though his brother Al-Mundhir and his son refused to retaliate.
Al-Husayn remained in Mecca, where people gathered around him from all directions, sitting in his presence and listening to his words.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also spoke of Husayn’s role as a figure of righteousness and resistance to tyranny.
