Habib b. Muzahir: Difference between revisions

"You think that the prayer of Prophet's household will not be accepted" replied Habib, "Your prayers will not be accepted, you drunk!" Then Habib attacked him and hit his horse on the face with the sword. He fell to the ground and his friends came to help and rescued him from Habib's attack.

While [[Muslim b. 'Ausajah]] covered in his own blood was breathing his last breaths, [[Imam Husayn (a)]] and Habib came to him and Imam prayed to God to bless his soul. Then Imam read the verse of Qur'an which says, "Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah. Of them are some who have fulfilled their pledge, and of them are some who still wait,
and they have not changed in the least." Then Habib told him, "Your death is very hard for me, but I give you the good news of Paradise." Muslim in return said with a weak voice, "May God give you good news." Habib said, "If my martyrdom were not close, I would have liked you to tell me your will [so that I executed for you] and by that I have fulfilled my tribal and religious duty toward you." Muslim pointed to Imam Husayn (a) and told Habib, "My will is to stay with Imam Husayn (a). May God bless you, keep defending him as long as you are alive, and do not stop supporting him until you are killed." Habib said, "I will execute your will and I will make you happy."
