On the last night of the battle...

On the last night of the battle, some of the Tawwabun say that they should retreat considering their small number of men who are extremely fatigued, wounded and thirsty (for the water supply is guarded by Ubaydallah Ziyad's soldiers), compared against the remaining well equipped army of 150,000 men; Sulayman says the aim is to avenge Imam Husein's (as) killers and if that is not possible, then it is better to die in battle for the mission rather than retreat.

After prayers, during the night, Sulayman Surad Khuzai nods off and dreams: he is in a pretty and most beautiful gardens full of flowers and tree, and a golden house is in the middle; a lady in Chaddar comes out of the palace; Lady Khadija, conveys Salaams from the Panjatan and Imam Husein's (as) congratulations to the Tawwabun for their work so far, and informs Sulayman of his martyrdom the next day; Lady Khadija takes a pot of water and gives it to Sulayman to sprinkle on all their wounds for the battle the next day.

Sulayman wakes up and sees the pot of water next to him, and offers prayers of thanks; he sprinkles the water on the wounds of the remaining Tawwabun, who are asleep; the heavenly water completely heals all the wounds and removes all fatigue; the water pot disappears when Sulayman is in prayers; when the rest of the group wake up, Sulayman informs them of the miracle.

Next day, the Tawwabun put up a resilient fight against the 150,000 soldiers of Ubaydallah Ziyad who expected a very feeble resistance; Sulayman is killed at about noon; Mosayab Najaba takes charge and he is also killed; Abdulla Saad then takes charge and he is also killed; next, Abdulla Walin takes charge and he is killed; finally, Rufa' Shadad takes charge and with the 10 remaining Tawwabun, they retreat to Kufa to try and regroup.

On winning the second round of battle, and having decisively crushed the Tawwabun, Ubaydallah Ziyad goes to Basra. Previous…
