Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Maqtal al-Husayn Men Expressing Fear for Al-Husayn View of ‘Umar al-Atraf ‘Umar al-Atraf then said to him, “O son of the Commander of the Faithful![^1] Abu Muhammad, al-Hasan (‘a), told me that his father, the Commander of the Faithful (‘a), had told him that you would be slain.

If you swear fealty, it will be better for you.” Al-Husayn (‘a) said, “ My father told me that the Messenger of Allah (S) had told him of his murder and mine, and that his resting place would be close to mine. Do you think that you know what I do not know? I shall never yield to lowliness.
