Muslim b. 'Awsaja al-Asadi: Difference between revisions

At the night before [['Ashura']], when [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] told his soldiers: you are allowed to leave [[Karbala]] and your promises and oath of allegiance have served well so far, you are not obligated to stay for the battle. Then, some companions declared their loyalty to Imam al-Husayn (a) over again. After the descendants of [[Banu Hashim]], Muslim b. 'Awsaja was the first one who said:

Oh, [[Imam al-Husayn (a)|Abu 'Abd Allah]]! We would never leave you alone. How it is possible to bring excuses to Allah? O, by Allah, never! We will never leave you alone; I will never give up; I will slay the enemies with my spear and sword until it drops on the ground; then I stone them. By Allah, I would never leave you alone until I fulfill my duties to Allah and defend the descendants of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. O, by Allah, if I am perished, I would reborn, and then if I am burnt and turned into ashes, I would reborn; and if it happens seventy times I would reborn and fight for you until I am martyred for you. I would never leave you as I know I will be perished once. Consequently, eternal prosperity and dignity would be mine.
