 I want to take you over the final moment of Hussain Al-Nu'ali. When you look at the final wasiyat of Imam Al-Hussain, when he speaks to his son Imam Sajjad, you see that he says many things to his son. But one of the things that I've always thought about is when he says to his son, when you see one of my shiaas, tell them that when you drink a glass of water, remember my thirst. And I used to always wonder why this is the case and then in a much less, I heard this narration. About 200 years ago, a scholar sees in his dream, Imam Al-Hussain is conversing with his mother, his mother says to his mother, oh mother, did you see what they did to me on that day? Wasn't I already a broken man? Wasn't I already destroyed? Oh mother, I carried body after body after body for the whole of the day. And look what they did to me, but mother, there's one thing that broke me from inside. He said, mother, as I sat upon the saddle and I looked forward, I could see the flowing river in front of me. He says, oh mother, the birds used to swoop down and drink from that river. Oh mother, the horses of the enemies used to drink from that river. Oh mother, even the wild dogs that used to walk up and down the streets used to drink from that river. But the grandson of Muhammad was denied the water and stayed thirsty for three days. In Zia'at-e-Nahi, Imam al-Zamana, the way he talks about his grandfather will break you, and I beg you all to read this Yaro if you can. He says, and I will paraphrase this and keep this as succinct as possible. It is said that when Imam al-Hussain was struck, it is said that at the time of Asr, there was a shower of arrows that covered the sky, and the sky was so dark it was as if it was night. These arrows embedded into the body of Hussain of Noali. People who were running forward and embedding spears into the body of Imam al-Hussain, people who had nothing to throw at him or nothing to fire at him would pick up stones and sand and throw it towards his face. It is said that Imam al-Hussain fell from his horse, and as he falls from his horse, his body is not on the ground, nor is it on the horse, a saddle. It is suspended upon a bed of arrows. It is said, if you go to Karbala, and as brother Noali said, insha'Allah we all get the visitation of Karbala, insha'Allah, you will see that the Maqam where Imam al-Hussain falls onto the ground, and where he is finally beheaded is a long distance. If you try and walk it, it may take you up to half an hour, why? It is said that Imam al-Hussain falls onto the ground, the enemies began to encircle him, and they were talking to each other. They were asking each other who is going to his final at Shimmer steps forward. As Shimmer steps forward, he grabs the beard of Imam al-Hussain, and he drags Imam al-Hussain from his beard across the dust of Karbala. It is said that he comes to his final resting place. It is said at this moment, it is not that he beheaded Imam al-Hussain just like that. It is said, remember this is the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, as Imam al-Hussain is laying there on the floor, the enemies began to encircle him. They were walking around him one by one. It is said, listen to this, it is said that the enemies were laughing, laughing at his plight, and Imam al-Hussain, in Zardanahi you will read this, Imam al-Hussain was clenching his hands like this. He was clenching his hands like this because this is the son of a warrior. It is said when he was clenching his hands, he was trying to get up, and every time he would put any weight through his hands and try to get up, someone would step forward and hit him with a stick. When he tried again, someone would run forward and kick him back down to the ground. It is said that at that time Shimmer steps forward. It is said that at the time Shimmer steps forward, remember this. When he steps forward Imam al-Hussain looks at him. He says, you are the man that was foretold to kill me. It is said that Shimmer then starts taking the knife, the dagger to the neck of Imam al-Hussain, and he cuts it 12 times. Why 12 times? Because this knife, this dagger is blunt. Imam al-Hussain says, for the whole of my life I will cry over your Masai until my tears turn to blood. Imam al-Hussain says, I see it so clearly I feel all of his pain Whenever I close my eyes I just see the head of Hussain So I'm gonna cry The river of blood to learn The son of the Prophet The High and the Holy The loved one of Zahra The purest of lay I came, if you st- Your prayers are guaranteed His status is so And his blood pure Let dust from beside his grave For all ailments is a cure So I'm gonna cry The river of blood I stand in Karbala I just see a lonely man God bless the martyrs Who gave up their lives for you Whose parched lips were thirsty Remember, who stared out His world dragged in chains Without veils and intents So I'm gonna cry The river of blood tonight The skies all become But you're him with blood He's my stranger So I'm gonna cry I said to these final moments if you can bear it The ladies rush to you When your chest was shaped Imagine this like The ladies rush to you When your chest was shaped A red carpet of your vision As your breasts were shaped And what did my first say in his final moments? Your eyes fixed on Zahra The women and children Were calling about So I'm gonna cry The river of blood tonight
