Now, it is the the 10th of Muharram, it is called Ashoor and it is the saddest day of the year.I've been writing about them during the last 9 scripts, but they were all killed on this day, Ashoor.
Now, Hussain Ibn Ali was all alone with none to help him and none to defend him.They were almost 71 lives martyred in the few hours before Asr.
Hussain cried, "Where are you Habib Ibn Mazahir, Zuhair Ibn Qayn, Ali Akbar, Aun o Mohammed, Qasim and my brother Abbas?"He then came back to the harsh reality that Death has created a barrier which they cannot cross.
Hussain realized that it was his turn to enter the battlefield. He controlled his emotions and addressed Zainab, "Dear sister, after my death, Yazid's army will take you all to the streets of Kufa and Damascus, snatch your Abaya and tie you in chains, Zainab! Don't lose your patience."She promised to fulfill her brother's wishes and they both cried their hearts out as they knew he would never come back again.Sakina, Hussain's 4 year old daughter, clinged to her Baba's robe, Hussain picked her up in his arms and kissed her cheeks. Ah! He did not knew that the same cheeks would receive cruel slaps upon crying.
The sight of Hussain even bought tears to his horse's Zuljinah's eyes. With Zainab's help he mounted his horse only to realize the horse refused to move.
YOU KNOW WHY?
Bibi Sakina was clinging to the horse because she knew those who went to the battlefield never came back.
WHAT DID HUSSAIN DO NOW?
He jumped down from the horse, picked Sakina and they both hugged each other as if nothing could part them.
She said, "Baba! How will Sakina live without you?"
Indeed, Hussain's heart was bleeding but still he did not give up and consoled Sakina to be patient/sabr.
