Dedication and Altruism 9 End (Imam Hussain and Karbala)

Another ending of the battle is the following
While Imam Husain was taking rest against the tree, Shimr knew that Imam Husain was unable to fight and sent one of his men to go and kill him. The man went and seeing Imam Husain's eyes,he got extremely scared and ran back to his camp. When Shimr asked why he had not killed Imam Husain, the man replied that looking into his eyes he saw prophet Muhammad. Angrily, Shimr sent another man. This one was so frightened that he droped his sword and ran back to his camp. This time when Lanti Shimr asked him why he had not killed him, he said he saw into his eyes and saw the angry look of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Shimr was angry, said that he would have to do it himself and wearing his armor, he went to where Imam Husain was. Using his iron boots he kicked Imam Husain in the ribs. Imam Husain fell to the floor, when Shimr disrespected and sat on top of him. Using a blunt knife, he rugged 12 times against Imam Husain's throat. While his head was on the floor, Shimr removed his head from his body. The army of Ibn Sa'ad rushed to loot the tents. The daughters of Mohammad's family were expelled from the tents, unveiled and barefooted, while weeping and crying for their slain relatives. The army set all the tents on fire. The women were asking: "By Allah, will you make us pass the site of the murder of Husain?" And when they saw the martyrs and wailed.Then Sakinah bint Husain (Death, 117 AH) embraced her father's body until some people dragged her away.[63] Umar ibn Sa'ad called volunteering horsemen to trample Imam Husain's body. Ten horsemen trampled his body such that his chest and back were ground. Traditionally, it is believed that Imam Husain's body was martyred but his 'noor' (light) and Imamat were passed on to his son Ali who became Imam Ali Zainul Abideen (Sahifa-e-Sajjadiya is a collection of his supplications).
