If I die in fending my master...

If I die in fending my master, Hussain, I shall consider myself the luckiest person. O coward, remember that warriors die but once. Nobody is born to live eternally. By betraying my master, you have betrayed the Prophet -saww , whose religion you profess to follow. On the Day of Judgement you will be doomed to eternal perdition. I am ashamed to own any relationship with you.

Had it not been for the fact that you have come here unarmed, I would have given you the chastisement you deserve for your impudence in asking me to become a turncoat.” \n Such emotion and courage from Abbas -asws provided comfort to the women and children of the Ahlul-bayt -asws . Mola Abbas\u2019s -asws \u00a0 martyrdom is also unique, Mola -asws was given a torn spade with the instructions to avoid fight as much as possible and confine himself to the task of bringing water for the children.

Hazrat Abbas -asws liberated the Euphrates, while coming back with water, the coward enemy started shooting arrows from all directions. Finally, Mola -asws embraced shahadat (martyrdom) upon receiving a mortal blow with an iron mace on his head. The last hope and the standard bearer of Imam Hussain -asws , came down to the ground only after loosing both hands while trying to save water carafe and the standard.

The replica of Mola\u2019s standard, is a sign of our alliance to Imam -asws of our time, for our commitment to follow the example of Mola Abbas -asws . The Ghazi – The Faithful. \n In ziarat-e-nahiya Imam Mehdi -ajfj says: \n “Salaam be upon Abu’l-Fadl Al-Abbas, son of Amir ul-Mu’minin.

He preferred his brother to himself, supplied himself with (opportunities of) today for (rewards of) tomorrow, sacrificed himself for his brother, protected him, hurried for fetching him water, and his two hands were cut (for such).
