The Thirty-First Assembly in the Remainder of the Killing [of al-Husayn], Sunday, which is the Day of `Ashura’, Ten into al-Muharram, 368 AH.

Al-Husayn (as) was killed while he had three hundred and twenty-something wounds from spears, sword slashes, and arrows. It is reported that these were all on his front side because he (as) did not turn around.

The crowd came into our pavilion. I was a young girl, and I had gold anklets on my feet. A man rushed to take the anklets from my feet whilst he was weeping. So, I said: “What makes you cry, O enemy of Allah?!” So, he said: “How can I not weep when I am robbing the daughter of the Messenger of Allah?!” So, I said: “Do not rob me.” He said: “I fear someone else may take it.” She said: They took everything in the buildings to the point where they even took the cloaks off our backs.

Muhammad b. `Ali Majiluwayh (rh) narrated this to us from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim from Muhammad b. `Ali al-Kufi from Nasr b. Mazahim from Lut b. Yahya from al-Harith b. Ka`b from Fatima bt. `Ali (s). Yazid (la) called for the women of al-Husayn (as) to be jailed with `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) in a jail that had no protection from heat or cold, until their faces peeled. A stone from the face of the Earth was not raised in the Bayt al-Maqdis except that fresh blood was found beneath it. The people saw red sunlight on the walls, as though it were sheets dyed in yellow; until `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) was released with the women and the head of al-Husayn (as) was returned to Karbala’.

Al-Sadiq Abu `Abdillah Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) said: When al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) was struck with the sword, and they prepared to sever his head, a caller called from the direction of the Lord of Glory from the depth of the Throne, saying: “O Nation that has become perplexed and misguided after its Prophet! Allah will not allow you to find success in Adha nor in Fitr.” He said: Then, Abu `Abdillah (as) said: By Allah, they will never find support nor success until the Revolutionary of al-Husayn (as) rises.
