Who is imam hussain ? ( part 11 )
while the water storage in Imam’s camp was finished, Imam Hussain (PBUH) requested Ibn Ziyad’s army to allow him and his family members’ access to water, but his request was denied. Children were crying because of thirst, there was no choice, so Imam Hussain (PBUH) sent his brother Abbas Ibn Ali (PBUH) to the river bank to bring water. Abbas (PBUH) was half-brother of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and he was famous for his courage and bravery, but when hundreds of men attack to one, even Abbas can’t resist. When he arrived to the river, although he was so thirsty but he didn’t drink water before children and Imam Hussain (PBUH), so he filled the waterskin and headed to the camp but the army of Ibn Zyad attacked him. He fought them to be able bring water for children in camp but the attackers became more and more. Finally they cut off both his arms, hit his head and killed him.
