"… at that moment a youngster whose face was [bright] like moon came to the battlefield and started fighting. Ibn Fudayl al-Azdi hit him on the head. His head was split and he fell on his face and shouted "O, my uncle!" Al-Husayn came to him very fast and attacked the enemies like a lion.

Al-Husayn said, "[[God]] may curse the people who killed you. Your father and your grandfather will avenge you on the [[Day of resurrection]].

Today is a day that your uncle's enemies are many and his companions are few.
