Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Karbala and Ashura After Karbāla’ The Night of the Tenth That night, the sky was red like blood. It was the hardest night for the family of the Prophet. In the emptiness of the desert, they faced the darkness and loneliness of night. During the night, they could hear a voice coining from the darkness. The disguised person recited the following lines of poetry: “O those who killed Imam Husayn!

Be prepared for the punishment You are cursed by every Prophet and every religion. This was not the reward for the Messenger of God. If he was alive now, he would have cried.” Also oh this night, Umm Salamah had a dream in which she saw the Prophet. He was upset and dust was on his head.

When Umm Salamah asked him why he was so dusty, the Prophet replied, “My son was killed and I was digging a grave for him.” Then, the army of ‘Umar marched towards the women and children and looted whatever was in the tents. When they were done, they set the remaining tents on fire. The soldiers fought over the women, but they resisted, and ran in all different directions. The soldiers took their robes, rings, and earrings. One of them ripped Umm Kulthum’s earrings out of her ears and they bled.

A soldier approached Fatimah, daughter of Husayn, crying as he took her ankle bracelet. She asked him, “Why are you crying?” He answered, “Because I am stealing this from a daughter of the family of the Prophet.” She asked, “Then, why are you taking it?” He said, “Because if I do not take it, somebody else will!” A man came with his spear and herded all the women together. When he looked at Fatimah, he put his eyes on her to snatch her for himself. She ran in the middle of the herd.

He went after her and hit her with his spear, knocking her unconscious. Zaynab protected her, drove away the soldier, and then took Fatimah in her lap until she woke up. There was a woman with Bakr Ibn Wa’il in ‘Umar’s army. When she saw what was happening to the women, she yelled, “The children of the Prophet of God in this Situation? What is your answer to the Prophet of God? There is no Law but God’s. We must take revenge for the Prophet of God!” Her husband hurried and took her away.

They captured ′Ali al‑Sajjad, son of Imam Husayn, while he was lying in bed unable to move. Some of them said, “Kill him. Do not leave anyone of them alive.” Others said, “No, wait until we hear our orders from ‘Umar.” Shimr took his sword and moved to kill him.
