Ibne Asakir, Biography of Imam Husain (a.s.), Pg. 217 my Lord! Nothing but kindness comes from the kind one…” [1] His Eminence left for performing the lesser pilgrimage (Umrah) to the House of Allah and became indisposed.

His father, Amirul Momineen (‘a) received the news that he was in Yathrib (Medina), so he went after him and reached him at Saqiyah when he (Husain) was ill. Ali (‘a) asked, “My son! What is troubling you?” “My head is aching.” Amirul Momineen told them to bring a camel. Then he sacrificed it and after that he shaved the head of Imam Husain (‘a) and took him back to Medina. When his illness was cured he returned towards Mecca and performed the lesser pilgrimage of Umrah.

[2] These were some incidents regarding the worship and obedience of His Eminence that are recorded in history and biography. D – Charitable nature of Imam Husain (‘a) The Imam was very much charitable and he gave away a lot in charity and alms. His Eminence had inherited some land and other things. So before they could come in his possession he gave them away in charity.

[3] He used to distribute food to the destitute of Medina during the darkness of the night**[4]** and except for divine rewards and God’s proximity he had no other aim. We have presented above many examples of his charitable deeds of the Holy Imam (‘a).
