FIFTY FOLLOWERS MARTYRED…The Events of Karbala--16
The Yazeedi’s arrogantly called out for
someone to come and combat them and shot a few arrows towards Hazrat Imaam
Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ’s tent. Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ’s followers sought his
permission to reply to those taunts and attacks. He granted them permission and
his followers showed their bravery on the plains of Karbala. Being hungry and
thirsty for three days they displayed such bravery that they troubled the
Yazeedi force. Every one of them took on ten of the enemy. The fighting was so
fierce that fifty of Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ’s followers were martyred but
also killed many Yazeedis before being martyred. Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ’s
witnessed his fifty followers martyred. He saw arrows in the chests of his
friends and loved ones. Seeing this he kept on reciting ‘O Allaah Kareem! I am
resigned to Your will.’ His fifty followers were martyred and now his family
remained. His brothers, nephews and sons remained.
