 === Guarding the Tents ===
-On the eve of 'Ashura', al-'Abbas took the responsibility of guarding the tents of Imam al-Husayn (a). Even though, he (a) had taken one night permission from the enemy before battle, but al-'Abbas was walking around tents and guarding them as a matter of caution, when [[Zuhayr b. al-Qayn]] came to him.

 Zuhayr told al-'Abbas about how Imam 'Ali (a) proposed to [[Umm al-Banin]] and mentioned that the intention of Imam 'Ali (a) from marriage was having brave sons, and said, "O al-'Abbas! Your father wanted you for a day like today; behold not to fail to fulfill your duty!" Al-'Abbas became angry about such words and told him, "Zuhayr! Do you want to lionize me with such words?! By God I swear, I would not fail to assist and support my brother until death. I will show you that tomorrow in a way that you would have never seen in your life!"
