IMAM HUSSAIN ( AS) could hear a cry in the desert air and knew it was just like the sound of his mother Fatima Zehra ( SA) voice , weeping at the fate of her dear children.The children were restless with growing thirst .
{ SHAHADAT OF ALI ASGHAR A.S }
ALI ASGHAR (AS) , barely 6 months old , was so thirsty that he could hardly move .
He was son of IMAM HUSSAIN ( AS) and Umme Rabab . On the day of Ashoor , it was very hot and there was no water for the family of the IMAM for 3 days . His mother couldn't feed him either, as there was no milk . When the IMAM called out " Is there anyone to help me ?" There was loud crying from the ladies. The IMAM came into the tent .BIBI ZENAB ( AS) " O my brother HUSSAIN , since ASGHAR heard your call , he hasn't stopped crying ." The IMAM said , " Bring him to me . I will take him and see if he can get some water ." Umme Rabab brought the baby Ali Asghar ( AS) from his crib and kissed him goodbye.
IMAM HUSSAIN ( AS) took the baby in his arms and going to the army of Yazid , " See how thirsty my ASGHAR is , his lips are dry and he can hardly open his eyes . He has done no harm to anyone. Give him some water ."
Hearing this , some of the soldiers started to cry , but Umar Saad said to Hurmula , " stop HUSSIAN'S word ." Hurmula aimed an arrow at the baby's neck . The arrow hit its mark and baby was killed in the army of his loving father IMAM HUSSAIN ( AS) .
The IMAM , kissed the baby then took a step forward, and then went backwards. He did this again and again 7 times saying ,
" INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJIUN ."( From ALLAH we come and to ALLAH we return .)
He buried the baby with his own hands in the hot sand .
