 I begin in the name of the Almighty God, the compassionate, the merciful, the one who has created everything in utmost perfection. And may the peace and blessings of the Almighty God be upon his pure and beloved messenger, the peak of his creation, the Holy Prophet Muhammad. And may God's peace and blessings be upon the pure family of Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon them, especially the leader of our time, the awaited saviour, Imam Al-Mahdi, Adjara Allahu Ta'ala, Farajah. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala states in the Holy Quran, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Intansur Allah ha'yan surkum. If you support Allah, Allah will support you. Sadaq Allahul-Aliyul-Azim illuminates your hearts and minds with a very loud salawat. Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa alaykum. Despite their very few numbers, there were shining stars in Karbala that the history of humankind had not seen the like of. The amazing companions of Imam Al-Husayn alaihi salam. Who comes close to them? Who is comparable to these noble companions? On the night of Ashura when Imam Al-Husayn alaihi salam gave that eternal speech, he told his companions, the enemies want my head only. Tomorrow I shall be massacred. Take advantage of the darkness of the night and you can leave if you would like to leave. There is no pressure on you to stay. The Imam alaihi salam in that amazing speech he said, I swear by God, I do not know companions and Allah knows that, that I do not know companions better than my companions. This is an infallible Imam, the master of youth of paradise, witnessing that there are no companions in history that a divine leader like him had the like of. And truly shining stars of Karbala. Indeed we as followers of the Imam's peace be upon them, we aspire to become like these companions. We wish we were there to support the Imam like those companions supported the Imam alaihi salam. In one hadith, the 8th Imam of Ahlul Bayt, Imam Al-Ruza, salawatullahi alaihi, he says if you want to achieve the honor of being with the companions of Imam al-Husayn, to receive the reward that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave them, then whenever you remember Aba Abdullah al-Husayn say, oh Allah, I wish I was with the companions so that I would achieve victory, ya layteni kuntu ma'akum fa'afuza fawzan azeema. This is the honor of every human being to be accepted as a companion of Imam al-Husayn alaihi salam. Among the companions of the Imam alaihi salam, there was a tribe that offered the most companions for the path of Aba Abdullah al-Husayn. A shining star of Karbala was Banu Asad. This amazing tribe, this amazing family who gave so many of their most courageous warriors to defend Aba Abdullah al-Husayn. Banu Asad is a very noble family. They come from courageous men, men of nobility. This amazing family of Banu Asad, initially they lived in the middle of Najd in the Arabian Peninsula. And then after the Muslim conquest, they moved to Iraq, except for one branch of this family, which was Banu Ghazir. Banu Ghazir 200 years before the religion of Islam, they used to live by the Euphrates River in Iraq, close to Karbala. Amazing warriors. When you look at their ancestry and their lineage, you see that they come from Adnan, the father of the Arabs. Adnan was a descendant of Prophet Ismail alaihi salam, and he is a grandfather to the Holy Prophet peace be upon him. Banu Asad, this large family, they descend from Adnan, and they were truly warriors. Many of them had a noble character, and they produced so many warriors. Now, the most famous amongst this huge family, because you had many branches to this family, amongst the most famous, for example, you had Banu Ghazir who had settled around Karbala, you had Banu Faqas, Habibi bin Madaher is one of them. For example, you had Banu Nashirah, you had Banu Kahil, Banu Mazid, and you had Banu Walib. Have you heard of Hababa al-Walibiya, this amazing woman who loved the Ahlul Bayt peace be upon them? She comes from this branch of Bani Asad. Hababa al-Walibiya, historians tell us that she saw Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib alaihi as-salam and lived to see al-Imam al-Ridha as-salamullahi. What an honor for one person to see eight Imams of Ahlul Bayt. And she has many narrations from al-Imam al-Sadiq as-salam, al-Imam al-Baqir peace be upon him. This amazing woman comes from this branch of Bani Asad, Hababa al-Walibiya. Now most of Bani Asad, they migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to Iraq especially after Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib alaihi as-salam had migrated from Medina and he went to Iraq. Amazing warriors. Now on the day of Ashura, we see Ibn Saad, he used to distribute the heads of the martyrs to those tribes that participated in the Battle of Karbala and he would give them the heads proportionate to their participation. For example, he gave the tribe of Hawazin, the tribe of who? Shimr ibn Diljoshan, he gave them 30 heads because this tribe was the most one that participated. Now you had some from Bani Asad on the opposite side as well. Remember we're talking about a huge family here. The Prophet's uncle Abu Lahab was an evil man. You can have evil people from a noble tribe. But to show you how noble this tribe is, compared to their size and large numbers, they had few participants on the other side, fighting Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam. You would expect a family so large with so many branches and most of them had settled around Kufa, you would think that in the hundreds or thousands they would have came with Omar ibn Saad to fight Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam. But that wasn't the case. When Omar ibn Saad distributed the heads, because he would give them the heads as a prize. You, oh tribe, because you participated in killing Imam al-Hussein, I give you this number of heads. He gave all of Bani Asad with all their different branches, six heads, which demonstrates to us that truly this was a noble family. Had this been any other family, the size of this family, you would have more participants fighting Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam. In the Ziyara of Imam al-Hussein, the first general ziyara, and as we continue our exploration into this amazing visitation passed down to us by Imam al-Sadiq alaihi as-salam, there is a beautiful passage at the end. Now while this is at the end of the ziyara, on this night we dedicate this paraphrase, we dedicate this excerpt, this passage from the ziyara in honor of Bani Asad, the companions of Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam and in honor of Habib ibn Madaher. At the end of the ziyara, and you will find this in all of the ziyaras of Imam al-Hussein, there is a reference to the companions, to the Ansar, those who supported the Imam alaihi as-salam. At the end of the ziyara, Imam al-Sadiq alaihi as-salam says, as-salamu alaykum, as-salam alaykum, as-salamu alaykum. Three times the Imam offers as-salam to those noble companions who sacrificed their life for his grandfather. Fustum wallah, fustum wallah, fustum wallah. I swear by Allah you have achieved victory. Faya alayta anni kuntu ma'akum fa'afuza fozan azeema. I wish I was with you to achieve that grand victory. On this night, let us dedicate our medjilis to the noble shining stars from Bani Asad, this family which gave the most to Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam. There were ten from Bani Asad who supported Imam al-Hussein. Out of those 72 companions, ten of them, about one-seventh of them came from this tribe. On this night, let us examine the biography of Habib ibn Madaher, Ali ibn Madaher and his wife, Muslim ibn Awsaja and Qais ibn Musher al-Saidawi, in order for us to seek the lessons from the lives of these noble shining stars so we can also tread their path and be true companions to Imam al-Hussein alaihi as-salam. Habib ibn Madaher, who comes close to Habib ibn Madaher? Have you seen how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him the honor by having a separate dharihan shrine for him? If you've gone to Karbala, all the companions are buried on one side, Habib has his own shrine. You say salam to him as you're entering the shrine. You say salam to him as you're exiting the shrine. He's on your way to Aba Abdullah al-Hussein. This in itself demonstrates to you the high status of this amazing man. Habib ibn Madaher is a Sahabi. He was one of the companions of the Prophet who met the Prophet who heard hadiths from the Prophet. One narration tells us that one day the Prophet was walking amongst his companions. When he saw boys playing, the Prophet approached one of those boys. He kissed him on his forehead and the Prophet would show him so much love and affection. His companions were shocked. They told him, Ya Rasulullah, what's special about this boy that you're treating him in this way? You're kissing him. You kiss him like as if he is someone who's truly special. What is it about him? The Prophet says one day I saw this boy. He was playing with my grandson Hussein. And he took the dust from beneath the feet of my grandson Hussein and he sought the blessing of it. He wiped it on his head. I love him because of his love for my grandson Hussein. And Jibrail has informed me that he will be amongst the companions of my grandson Hussein. Some scholars such as the author of Wasila to Al-Darain, he says this boy whom the Prophet embraced and he kissed him on his forehead was Habib Ibn Mullah. You see the nobility of this man. From his young age he was attached to Al-Imam Ibn Abdullah al-Hussein, alaihi s-salam. Habib was truly a warrior when Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib alaihi s-salam migrated from the city of Kufa, from the city of Medina to Kufa, Habib also migrated with the Imam alaihi s-salam. He was one of the best companions to Al-Imam al-Ibn Abi Talib. He was truly a warrior. He participated in all the battles with the Imam, defending him. The battle of Safin, the battle of Jamal, the battle of Narawan, he participated in all those battles. And he took the knowledge from Amir al-Mu'mineen s-salawatullah. The Imam alaihi s-salam would sometimes give him knowledge of the unseen, knowledge of the future. For example, Sheikh al-Tursi narrates this interesting hadith. He says one day when Benu Assad in Kufa had a gathering, you know they had a place where they used to hang out. The people saw two horsemen approaching. One of them was Habib ibn Madaher and the other one was Maitham at-Tammar. They were riding their horses. They met each other while riding their horses. Habib ibn Madaher looked at Maitham at-Tammar. He told them it's as if I can see you and he gave his physical descriptions. It's as if I can see you, someone who fits your description of Maitham at-Tammar being crucified for his love of Ahlul Bayt and his stomach will be slashed on a piece of wood. When Maitham at-Tammar heard that, he looked at Habib ibn Madaher and he told him it's as if I can see you one day going and supporting the grandson of the Prophet when he will call upon you and then your head will be severed from your body and it will be paraded in the city of Kufa and then they left each other. The people looked at them, you know they were shocked at what they heard. They said, we have not seen two people who speak lies more than these two. Do they think they know the future? How is it predicting the future with these words? Subhanallah, the days went and the days passed by when those people of that same neighborhood they saw Maitham at-Tammar being crucified at the door of Ahmrab ibn Because of his love for Ali ibn Abi Talib and the love that he had for Ahlul Bayt. And the days passed by where they saw Habib ibn Madaher his head being paraded in the city of Kufa. Habib ibn Madaher achieved such a high status where Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib would give him the knowledge of the future. And when you look at the life of this man and his relationship with the Holy Qur'an, brothers and sisters, we want to be companions of Imam al-Qusayn al-Islam, right? This is the greatest honor we can achieve. But do we have the same relationship with the Qur'an that they used to have? Habib ibn Madaher had memorized the entire Qur'an and every single night of his life. He used to complete the entire Qur'an from Isha'at to Fajr, every single night. Habib would not sleep at night. During the day he was a warrior active, during the night he would not forget Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. What's our relationship with him? We say Yahusayn, we participate in the gatherings of Aba ibn Abdullah al-Husayn. And we want to be true companions of Imam al-Husayn. But how is our relationship with the Qur'an, brothers and sisters? This is the companion of Imam al-Husayn. That's why when he fell to the ground in Karbala and Imam al-Husayn al-Islam walked to his body, the Imam witnessed, he said, oh Habib, I witnessed that you were a virtuous man, and of virtue you would complete and recite the whole Qur'an in a single night. This is the abadah of Habib. This is what gave him such a high status. And we have to follow his footsteps. Now Habib, when he was in Kufa and he realized that Yazid had become the Khalifa, he was the first person to send a letter to Imam al-Husayn al-Islam, inviting him to come to Kufa. The first letter that reached Imam al-Husayn in Medina was signed by Habib ibn Abdullah. He played a pivotal role in the evolution of Imam al-Husayn al-Islam. Still, when Muslim ibn Aqid arrived in the city of Kuma and mobilized the masses and encouraged them to give allegiance to Muslim ibn Aqid like Habib, he looked for Imam al-Husayn al-Islam. They had thousands of people mobilizing them and bringing them. He gathered thousands of people around him and they gave him allegiance. He read to them the letter of Imam al-Husayn al-Islam. He had sent a letter with the Imam al-Husayn al-Islam. When he read the letter to them, they began to cry. Imam al-Husayn said to Imam al-Husayn, by the name of the abyssin ibn Shabib ibn As-Shakib, he only used the famous companion who said, Imam al-Husayn al-Islam, the love of Husayn has given me insane. When he read the letter to Imam al-Husayn al-Islam, he started the presence of Muslim ibn Aqid al-Husayn. I speak for myself, I can speak for others, I don't know what's in their mind, but I'll tell you my intention. I swear by God I shall support you and I shall fight your enemies after that Husayn. You have my word that when he heard the speech, he was overthrown. He stood up and he thanked him. Oh, I understand you for this wonderful speech and I want to allow my position and my stance as the same as yours to have our thoughts that they used one power that is not gaining to cover. He started persecuting the people. He started fighting the people when the people started to abandon Muslim ibn Aqid. The days came by when Muslim ibn Aqid was killed, the time when our world was killed, happy in the form that Imam al-Husayn was killed. He was in this very difficult position. I'm not Husayn now, what can I do? Imam, to give the salam to me, who am I? For the daughter of Amir al-Mu'mineen, the granddaughter of Rasulullah to offer her salam to me. He goes to Aba Abdullah al-Husayn. He tells him, oh Husayn, do you give me the permission to go and greet Zainab and pay the salam back? She has said salam to me. Please give me the permission. Imam al-Husayn al-Husayn gives him the permission. He goes walking slowly, very shyly. He goes to the tent of Zainab al-salam, and he cries out, he says, As-salamu alaika ya Zainab. Peace be upon you, oh Zainab. Zainab al-salam tells him, wa alaika as-salam ya Amya Habib. Oh Habib, do not forsake this gharib of Karbala. I want you to support him. I promise that you will defend him as much as you can. Habib tells her, oh Zainab, I will make you proud, insha'Allah. An amazing warrior in Karbala. Habib was so concerned to defend Imam al-Husayn al-salam. Before the day of Ashura, he told Imam al-Husayn that the tribe of Bani Ghadra, they live very close here in Karbala. And I have tribal ties with them because we come from the same family from Bani Assad. Do you allow me to go and try to mobilize them? Maybe I can get their support? The Imam al-Husayn gives them permission. He goes to them, he speaks to them, he tells them, my dear cousins, my dear brothers in faith, I have come with the best gift that any person can deliver to you. This is Husayn ibn Ali, he's being surrounded by the army of Umar ibn Sa'ad. If you want the best of this life and the best of the hereafter, if you want the true karama from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, come and join him. If you want the eternal bliss, come and join him. No man mobilized people like Habib ibn Madaher. He managed to get 90 of Bani Assad from Bani Ghadra to come and show their support and fight to defend Imam al-Husayn. As soon as he secures 90 men, Umar ibn Sa'ad finds out. He realized that if these 90 men come and join Imam al-Husayn, they could tip the scale in the favor of the Imam al-Husayn and this will make the battle much more difficult. So he sends 500 from his warriors and troops and he tells them your only goal is to block these 90 men from Bani Assad from joining the Imam al-Husayn. Then a fight takes place, this is before the day of Ashura and the army of Umar ibn Sa'ad, they manage to block those 90 men from joining the camp of Imam al-Husayn al-Husayn. Habib lost hope. He came back to Aba ibn al-Husayn and he told them, I tried to get 90, but Umar ibn Sa'ad has blocked them. There is no access, there is no way for them to get to you. But he truly tried his best. This noble, amazing companion of the Imam. Narrations tell us that on the day of Ashura, as the battle would get fiercer and fiercer, Habib would be seen smiling more and more. And he would show more joy. One of the companions of the Imam, by the name of Borayr, he tells them, oh Habib, you will be killed soon and the battle is getting fierce. What are you smiling about? This is not a moment of happiness. He tells them, oh Borayr, how can I not be happy knowing that I have the honor of dying protecting Aba ibn al-Husayn. Is there an honor greater than this? In those final moments he would also be seen crying while he was joyful. To help the Imam he would constantly be crying. They would ask him, oh Habib, why do you cry? Do you miss your family? Do you miss your son Qasim? Do you miss your family, your wife? Why do you cry? He says, no. The only reason why I cry, is to cry for Zaynab. Because I heard her father Ali ibn Abi Talib tell me on numerous occasions that one day will come in which Zaynab will be paraded in the streets of Kufa. From one village to another village, from one city to another city, she will have to sit on a barren camel being paraded from here to Sham. This is why I'm crying. I'm crying because Zaynab will be taken as a captive of war. Zaynab was in her tents and she heard what Habib said. And she told him, oh Habib, yes yesterday, Aba Abdullah al-Hussain told me everything. What is to come? What awaits me? I have been told everything. This is Habib ibn Madaher, this amazing companion, the leader of Bani Asad in Karbala. On this night we commemorate this man and we honor this man and we follow into his footsteps into the path of his knowledge the path of his sacrifice and the path of his Ibadah and worship. Habib ibn Madaher had a brother by the name of Ali ibn Madaher. He was also a companion to the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi. A very noble man. On the night of Ashura, when the Imam gives his speech, his famous speech, and he tells them to go, the Imam tells his companions, I want you to do one thing. Take all of your women and the females that are with you and take them to Bani Asad on the other side. Ali ibn Madaher stands up, he looks at Imam al-Hussain, he tells him, oh Aba Abdullah, why do you want us to take to Bani Asad, our cousins on the other side of the river? The Imam said, because tomorrow I shall be killed and my women will be taken as prisoners of war. And I do not want that to happen for you. So go and take them. Ali ibn Madaher he goes to the tent of his wife. He calls upon her. She stands in respect for him. He tells her get ready so I take you on the other side. I will submit you to my cousins. She tells him, why? Why do you want to take me there? He says, because Imam al-Hussain told us that tomorrow he shall be killed and his women will be taken as prisoners of war. And he asked us to take you on the other side so you don't have to go through this tomorrow, so you would not be taken as prisoners of war. She tells him Ali, so what do you want to do? What's your plan now? He tells her, well, get ready let me take you there so I can save you from all this trouble. She tells him, oh Ali, this is very unfair of you. You want your face to shine on the day of judgment in front of Rasulullah, in front of Fatima, that you sacrificed your life for Hussain and you don't want me to participate in this honor. If you die with them then I want to be a prisoner of war with the women, with Zaynab alayhi salam. I refuse to go. He goes back to Imam al-Hussain alayhi salam he tells him, oh my master, I tried to take her on the other side but she refused. She said, I want to participate in this tragedy. If Zaynab becomes a prisoner of war then I also want to become a prisoner of war. You see the loyalty that Bani Assad had for Imam al-Hussain alayhi salam. What a lesson for us. Allahu Akbar, the greatest gift that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can give you brothers and sisters is if you have a spouse that protects you from danger a spouse that brings you closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is the greatest honor and gift that Allah gives you. If you have such a spouse who's always reminding you of what's good, if you're starting problems with people your spouse comes, tries to calm you down. I know some people unfortunately some husbands you know they have this feisty nature they want to create problems with everyone they backbite against everyone they involve themselves in every fitna we have in the community we have such men and then their wives tell them this is not good for us this is not good for the family why are you involving yourself in this fitna, in this chaos they become angry and they yell at their wives it's none of your business let the men do what they have to do this is a gift from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Thank Allah for giving you such a spouse who reminds you to uphold the best attitude who reminds you to protect your faith and our dear youth whenever you think of marriage and the qualities of the person whom you want to marry this is the person whom you want to marry one who will not encourage you to do haram, to sin to be negligent towards your Lord, towards your parents and towards your community find someone who will push you and encourage you to stand in the subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is a great gift and we see the wife of Ali ibn Madaher encouraging her husband to fight. We see the wife of Habib ibn Madaher. These women brothers and sisters played a pivotal role sometimes we forget about their sacrifices in Karbala. Many of the companions of Al-Imam Al-Hussein had the honor of being shohadat because of their wives. We need to honor these women and many of them came from the tribe of Bani Assad. This was one amazing companion and another amazing companion from Bani Assad was Muslim ibn Awsajah another companion to the Prophet. You see all these are companions to the Prophet they all saw the Prophet they are Sahaba of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi waalai Muslim ibn Awsajah was truly one of the most loyal companions of Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein. When Imam Al-Hussein gave his speech and he asked his companions to go and take advantage of the darkness of the night. The first one who stood and spoke from the companions was Muslim ibn Awsajah. Al-Assadi who came from the Assadi tribe and he was a cousin to Habib ibn Madaher. He told him Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein how can we ever leave you and betray you what will be our excuse in front of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we shall never leave you I swear by God I will not be satisfied until I strike your enemies with my spear with my sword if I have no weapons I'll defend you by throwing stones and rocks at them. And then he made that famous statement that famous line which must be inscribed with gold brothers and sisters. He said I swear by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala if I were to be killed then revived brought back to life then burned then killed then brought back to life and this would happen to me 70 times. Oh Aba Abdullah I swear by God I will not abandon you I swear I would never leave you if 70 times that would happen to me how about if it's only one time if it's only one death and then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give us the eternal bliss and honor I would never leave you you see the loyalty from these companions brothers and sisters on such a night we honor them and we learn from them the narrations tell us that when muslim ibn awsaja went out to the battlefield and he fought as a brave warrior when he fell to the ground and he called Aba Abdullah al-Hussein as-salamu alaika Aba Abdullah imam al-Hussein al-Hussein al-Habib ibn Madaher both of them rushed to him you want to see the loyalty of this man see what we will do in the next few moments imam al-Hussein al-salam rushes to him he embraces him he wipes the blood and dust from his face and he recites this verse he says muslim ibn awsaja may Allah have mercy on you oh muslim fa minhum man qadha wa minhum man yintadir wa ma baddalu tabdeela the imam recited this holy verse that from the believing man minal mu'mineen ar-rijalun sadaqu ma aahadullahi they were true to their covenant to their promise some of them have met their destiny and some of them wait to fulfill their covenant wa ma baddalu tabdeela they did not change and then when the imam al-salam got up Habib ibn Madaher he came to him he tells him oh muslim may Allah have mercy on you let me give you the good news that soon you will be going to paradise and oh muslim i want you to give me your will i know that soon i will be dying after you but as my brotherly role and responsibility to you do you have any will that you want me to execute is there one last request that you have he was breathing his final moments muslim ibn awsaja he had a faint voice he could barely move he pointed toward aba abdallah al-Hussain and he told him oh muslim ibn awsaja ibn awsaja ibn awsaja yes i have one request from you oh Habib you see that gharib that stranger aba abdallah send him as much as you can till your last breath Habib tells him yes i will honor this request i swear by god i will die before him defending him and he passed away this is the loyalty of muslim ibn awsaja brothers and sisters who comes from the tribe of bani asad and finally the last one whom we will commemorate tonight was a great warrior a loyal trustworthy man trustworthy man from bani asad from the same tribe of bani asad a man by the name of qais ibn mushir asaida this man was the messenger of aba abdallah al-Hussain he was so trustworthy that the imam had assigned him to be the messenger who would deliver the letters from mecca to kufa and from kufa back to mecca the first letters that were sent to the imam aleyhissalam asking him to join were sent by this man qais this man when he saw muslim ibn aqeel and the thousands of people who had come to pledge allegiance muslim ibn aqeel wrote a letter to al-imam al-Hussain al-Hussain come rush to kufa thousands of people are thirsty waiting to see you al-aba abdallah and they have pledged me allegiance he gives the letter to qais he tells him all days take this letter to al-aba abdallah al-Hussain he comes quickly his only goal was to make sure that the movement of the imam succeeds even though it was a very treacherous journey very difficult the enemies were looking for messengers like that to arrest them he goes to mecca he meets al-aba abdallah al-Hussain and he gives them the letter of muslim ibn aqeel muslim ibn aqeel the imam al-islam he reads the letter of muslim ibn aqeel he writes a letter he says this is from hussain ibn aqeel to the people of kufa i have now just received the letter from muslim ibn aqeel and he is telling me that all of you have gathered and you have done the
