Horse hurled the blasphemous into the fire

On the day of Aashura i.e. Friday the 10th of Muharram, 61

AH, when His Excellence Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
.
2
was delivering sermon to the Yazeedi soldiers in the battlefield
of Karbala in order to leave no room for excuse on their side, a
foul-mouthed Yazeedi (Maalik Bin Urwah) looked towards the
fire which was lit in a trench for the protection of the camps of

the dejected caravan and said, O Husayn ( 3# (& )
. )! You have
2
lit this fire before that of the Hereafter. Sayyiduna Imam Husayn

3#
& )
(
. replied: meaning O enemy of Allah!
2
You are a liar! Do you think, ! " #
G , I will go to the Hell?
A devotee of Imam Husayn, Sayyiduna Muslim Bin Awsajah

3#
& )
& )
(
(
. asked permission from Imam Husayn 3#
. to
2
2
fire an arrow at the face of the foul-mouthed Yazeedi but

Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. did not allow and said, We should

2

not initiate the attack. Imam Husayn 3#(& )
. then lifted his

2
hands for prayer and supplicated, O Rab-e-Qahhar ( ! " # )!
Make this wicked suffer the punishment of worldly fire before
the torment of the hellfire.
The prayer was answered instantly; the hoof of the horse of the
Yazeedi stepped inside a ditch, which jolted the horse. The
blasphemous Yazeedi fell off the horses back and his foot
entangled in the stirrup. The horse galloped whilst dragging the
Yazeedi along and threw him inside the trench which was full
of fire. The ill-fated Yazeedi burnt to death. Sayyiduna Imam
4

Husayn 3# (& )
2
. offered Sajdah-e-Shukr (prostration to pay
gratitude in the court of Allah ! " # ) and said, O Allah ! " # !
Gratitude to You for punishing the one blaspheming the holy
+
family of the Beloved Prophet , ! &
! '(& )
* .
(Sawanih Karbala, pp. 88)
Stung by black scorpion

Despite witnessing the instant dreadful end of the blasphemous
Yazeedi and instead of learning lesson from it, they took it as a
casual event. Another rude Yazeedi said to Sayyiduna Imam

Husayn 3# (&
2
. , You have no relation with Rasulullah

( , ! &
! # (&
* + )! Hearing that, Sayyiduna Imam Husayn

3#
& )
2
& )
2
(
(
. shocked and so he 3#
. supplicated in the
court of Allah ! " # , O Allah ! " # ! Punish this rude person.
The outcome of the supplication appeared instantly; that Yazeedi
unexpectedly felt need of defecation, he came off his horse, ran
to a side, undressed and sat down; suddenly, a black scorpion
stung him. Contaminated with impurity, he was seen running
here and there out of acute pain and eventually he fell dead
extremely disgracefully in front of his accomplices. Despite that,
the stony-hearted, shameless people did not take it as a warning;
instead they ignored considering it a casual event.

Blasphemous died of thirst

A stony-hearted person of the Yazeedi army came in front of

. and said rudely, Look at

2
the turbulent River Euphrates. By Allah ! " # ! You will not get
even a drop of it, and you will die of thirst. Sayyiduna Imam

Husayn 3# (&
2
. beseeched in the court of Allah ! " # :

meaning: O Allah !"#! Make him die out of

thirst. As soon as Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. finished
2
the supplication, the horse of the insolent Yazeedi galloped
abruptly out of fright. The Yazeedi ran after it; as a result, he

suffered raging thirst and he was found calling out
Im thirsty, Im thirsty repeatedly but when water would bring

to his mouth, he would remain unable to drink even a drop
from it and, eventually he died due to extreme thirst.
Han mujh ko rakho yad mayn Haydar ka pisar hoon

Aur bagh-e-Nubuwwat kay shajar ka mayn samar hoon
Mayn didah-e-himmat kay liye noor-e-nazar hoon

Dear Islamic brothers, did you notice how grand the rank of

2
does not allow disrespect, disgrace and insult of the blessed
6

Imam 3# (& )
2
. . Those who insulted Sayyiduna Imam Husayn

3#
& )
(
. were disgraced and were subjected to painful torment
2
even in this world and surely this bears a great warning.
Allamah Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Naeemuddin Muradabadi

H

C . # has elaborated after mentioning the terrifying
instant end of some of impudent Yazidis: The blessed son of
+
the Noblest Prophet , ! &
! '(& )
* was to show that just like

the plenty of verses and famous Ahadees in favour of his high
rank and excellence in the court of Allah ! " # , his marvels and
wonders also testify to it. Hence, physical demonstration of the
divine favour by him (through miraculous wonders) was in
fact for the reason to leave no room for excuses i.e. if you have
eyes, then take heed.
To confront someone whose prayers are answered so promptly
and so precisely, is nothing but battling with Allah ! " # ; think
of its consequences and be warned! But those embodiments of
mischief failed to pick lesson from those open wonders as the
greed of the temporal world that had overwhelmed their souls
blinded them. (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 90)
The pillar of light and the white birds

After the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (&
2
. ,
several miraculous wonders were exhibited from his blessed
head. The remaining people of the caravan of Ahl-e-Bayt reached
Kufa on the 11th of Muharram-ul-Haraam whereas the blessed
heads of the martyrs of Karbala had reached there before them.

The blessed head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. was in
2
the possession of the ill-fated ruthless Yazeedi named Kholi Bin
Yazeed. He reached Kufa at night time. Since the gate of the
state house had been closed, he brought the blessed head to his
home. He placed the blessed head on the floor disrespectfully,
took a large pan and covered the blessed head with it. He then
went to his wife Nawaar and said, I have brought for you the
biggest wealth of the world. Look! The head of (Sayyiduna)

Husayn Ibn Ali ( 3# (& )
. ) is lying over there in your home.

2
She exclaimed furiously, May the curse of Allah ! " # be upon
you! People bring gold and silver and you have brought the
blessed head of the Prophets son! By Allah ! " # ! I will not live
with you anymore.
Saying that, she rose from her bedding and sat beside the blessed
head. She narrated, By Allah ! " # ! I saw a shaft of bright light
from the sky up to the pan like a pillar and white birds were flying
around it. In the morning, Kholi Bin Yazeed took the blessed
head to the wicked Ibn Ziyad. (Al-Kamil Fit-Tareekh, vol. 3, pp. 434)
Baharaun per hayn aaj aaraishayn gulzar-e-Jannat ki
Suwari aanay waali hay shahidaan-e-mahabbat ki
Horrific end of Kholi Bin Yazeed

Extreme worldliness and the greed for money make one blind
to the fate of his ill endeavours. Kholi Bin Yazeed separated the
8
blessed head from the sacred body for worldly gains and fame,
but, after only a couple of years, he succumbed to a terrible end.
As regard to the revenge taken by Mukhtar Saqafi from the

murderers of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. , Allamah
2
Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Naeemuddin Muradabadi
H

C . # has stated, Just a couple of years after the martyrdom

of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. , Mukhtar ordered that

2
whoever accompanied Amr Bin Sad (the leader of the Yazeedi
army) in Karbala must be killed wherever he was found. Upon
hearing that order, the tyrant and cruel people of Kufa ran
towards Basra. The army of Mukhtar chased them and wherever
they were found, they were murdered. Their corpses were burned
and houses were robbed. Kholi Bin Yazeed was that damn and
wicked person who separated the blessed head of Sayyiduna

Imam Husayn 3# (& )
2
. from the sacred body. That ruthless
person was also arrested and presented to Mukhtar. Mukhtar
got his (Kholi) hands & feet severed and then he was crucified.
In the end, he was thrown into blazing fire. Likewise, Mukhtar
killed all the evil people of the army of Ibn Sad by different
tortures and killed six thousand people of Kufa who had
contributed in the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn

Recitation of the Holy Quran atop the spear

Sayyiduna Zayd Bin Arqam 3# (& )
. has stated, When the

2
Yazeedi comrades raised the refulgent head of Sayyiduna Imam

Husayn 3# (& )
2
. atop a spear and paraded through the streets
of Kufa, at that time I was in upstairs of my house; when the
refulgent head passed by me I heard the blessed head reciting
the 9th verse of Surah Al-Kahf:

when the blessed head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )

martyred. The respected Ahl-e-Bayt 3#(&
2

The blessed head was carried through different cities and towns.
It is certainly strange that the Ashaab-e-Kahf spoke out after a
very deep sleep of several years, however, it is much stranger for
the blessed head to speak out after being struck off the blessed
body. (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 118)
Couplet written with blood

The army of Yazeed was proceeding carrying the blessed heads
of the martyrs of Karbala along with them. They stayed at
one place. Sayyiduna Shah Abdul Azeez Muhaddis Dihlvi

commenced drinking wine. Meanwhile, an Iron Pen appeared
and it wrote the following couplet with blood:
(Do the murderers of Husayn still hope to avail the intercession

of his Noble Grandfather on the Day of Judgment?)

Monk embraced Islam by virtue of the blessed head

A Christian monk saw the refulgent head from his church and
asked about the matter. When he was told about, he said, You
are bad people. Will you be happy with 10 thousand Ashrafis
(gold coins) for leaving this head with me for one night? The
greedy men accepted the offer. The monk washed the blessed
head, perfumed it, placed it upon his thigh and kept closely
observing it throughout the night. He noticed a beam of light
emerging from the blessed head. The monk spent the night crying
and the following morning, he embraced Islam. He abandoned
the church and its provisions, and spent his rest of the life

serving the Ahl-e-Bayt 3# (&

greed of the temporal and mortal world and severely oppressed
the blessed family of the Noble Prophet , ! &

Remember! You exhibited extreme carelessness towards religion

and you will lose even the worldly gains for which you committed
such a loathsome act. You are a symbol of those who are at total
loss not only in the afterlife but also in the worldly life.
Dunya parastaun! Deen say munh mor ker tumhayn

History delineates that the Muslims who preferred worldly
gains over religion failed to win even the worldly riches and on
the other hand, those who discarded worldliness and remained
steadfast upon the laws and teachings of the Quran & Sunnah,
the riches of the world inclined towards them. They became
prosperous in the worldly life as well as in the afterlife. Ala

Some others have said that Yazeed ordered his accomplices to
parade through the towns and cities displaying the blessed
head. When those people reached a place called Asqalan, the
ruler of that area took the blessed head and buried it. When the
Europeans invaded Asqalan, Talaai Bin Razzeek who was
known as Saalih paid 30 thousand dinars to take the blessed
head from the Europeans. On Sunday, the 8th of Jumadal Ukhra,
548 AH, whilst bare-foot (in order to pay tribute) and accompanied
with his army and servants, he brought the blessed head to Egypt.
Even at that time, the blood of the blessed head was fresh and
musk could be smelt from it. He placed the blessed head inside
a silk green bag, placed it upon a chair made of ebony, placed
musk and ambergris around it, and finally got constructed the

A strange blessing of the refulgent head

It is said that the king of Egypt King Naasir was informed about
a particular person who knew the whereabouts of some buried
treasure inside the palace but did not tell anyone about its
location. In order to make him disclose the whereabouts of the
treasure, the king ordered to torture him. The person in charge
of torturing held him and placed dung-beetles and scarlet flies
on his head and tied a piece of cloth around it.
1
Those blessed with faculty of Divine intuition.
20
It is such terrifying and painful torment that is unbearable for

even a single minute. The tortured person either reveals the secret
instantly or, if he doesnt do so, dies within a few minutes. That
punishment was given to the person many times but, surprisingly,
nothing happened to him; instead, every time, the dung-beetles
would die. The people asked the reason and in reply, he said,

When the blessed head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
.
2
was brought to Egypt, ! " # 9 @ M
I placed it upon my head
out of love and tribute; and what you have seen is the blessing
and miracle exhibited by Sayyiduna Imam Husayns blessed
head! (Shaam-e-Karbala, pp. 248)

Details regarding those stinging insects

We learnt that placing a sacred thing on the head out of respect
and tribute is a rewarding act in the world as well as in the
Hereafter. Here is some detail as regard to the insects that were
used to make the accused reveal secrets. Dung-beetles are twohorned black coloured insects that are born inside excreta and
dung; scarlet flies are small silk-like red coloured insects bearing
the size of a chick-pea which are found in some jungles usually
in the rainy season. They are dried and their rich red colour is
21
used to dye silk; it is also used in making medicines; oil is also

extracted from it.
In the old days, the accused person used to be punished in that
way to confess to his crime. The dung-beetles would be placed on
the scalp and scarlet flies would be placed over them being tied
with an ordinary cloth. The beetles would continuously bite,
which would result in holes in the scalp; then, the secretions
and bits of the scarlet flies would enter through the holes and,
as a result, the arteries of the brain would burst. That was such
an unbearable punishment that the accused would confess
instantly. That frightening worldly torment also reminds us of
the torments in the afterlife! Surely, none of us can bear the pain
of these insects for even a moment, then how is it possible for
anyone to bear the snake bites and scorpion stings in the grave
and the hellfire! ! " #
G , if we were held for even a minor sin,
and if for instance, only one scorpion is placed on our head,
then how will we bear it!
Dank machchar ka bhi mujh say to saha jata nahin
Qabr mayn bichchu ka dank kaysay sahun ga Ya Rab!
Afw ker aur sada kay liye razi ho ja
Yeh karam hoga to Jannat mayn rahun ga Ya Rab!

Effulgence of the blessed head

According to another narration, the blessed head remained in
the treasury of Yazeed, the devilish. When the king of Banu
Umayyah Sulayman Bin Abdul Malik took control of the reign
(96 AH 99 AH) and he got to know about it, he paid visit to
behold the blessed head whose bones were shining like silver.
He applied perfume, wrapped it in shroud and had the blessed
head buried in a Muslim cemetery. (Tahzib-ut-Tahzib, pp. 326, vol. 2)

with performing the Tawaf. In the second round, I heard him
imploring the same, I became even more surprised. After I had
finished the Tawaf, I said to him, You are standing at such a
holy place where even the biggest sins are forgiven, so if you
are asking Allah ! " # for forgiveness and mercy, then remain

me to a side. He said, My sin is very serious. I asked, Is your
sin greater than the mountains, skies, earths, and the Arsh (the
Divine Throne)? He replied, Yes, my sin is greater. O Sulayman!
I am one of those 70 ill-fated people who brought the blessed

head of (Sayyiduna Imam) Husayn ( 3# (& )
. ) to Yazeed.
2
Yazeed commanded for blessed head to be hung outside the city.
Then, with his command it was taken down, put in a platter made
up of gold and placed in Yazeeds bedroom.
At midnight, Yazeeds wife awoke and witnessed light beaming
from the blessed head to the sky, shining and twinkling. Yazeeds
wife became terrified; she woke Yazeed and said, Get up and
see, I am witnessing a strange thing. Yazeed, the damned also
saw the light and advised her to remain quiet about it.
25
In the morning, he got the blessed head placed in an emerald

tent. He appointed 70 people to look after it and I was one of
them. We were asked to go for having some food. When the sun
set and the most part of the night had passed we went to sleep.
Suddenly I woke up; I saw a very dense cloud in the sky, and
heard the sound of thunder and that of bird-wings flapping.
That cloud began descending, gradually coming nearer to the
extent that it touched the ground. A man came out of the cloud;
the man had two heavenly garments. In one hand he had a
floor-mat and some chairs; he spread the floor-mat, placed
the chairs on it, and began calling out; O father of mankind!

# !
O Aadam (1/ 0

martyrdom; you bore thirst until Allah ! " # united you with
us; may Allah ! " # bestow mercy upon you; and there is no
forgiveness for your murderer; and on the Day of Judgment,
your murderer is destined for a very horrible fate in the hellfire.
After saying so, he moved away and seated himself upon one of
the chairs.
Another cloud appeared and touched the ground in the similar
way, and I heard someone calling, O Prophet of Allah! O Nuh

Yearning for fame and wealth

Dear Islamic brothers! Yearning for fame and wealth is a terrible
thing. The Beloved Rasool , ! &

harm as the greed of wealth and status causes to ones religion.
(Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 166, Hadees 2383)
It was Yazeeds greed for wealth and status which caused the
dreadful and terrible tragedy of Karbala. He feared that Sayyiduna

Imam Husayn 3# (&
2
. would overthrow him whereas

. was totally unconcerned

2
29
and uninterested in power & authority of this mortal world. In

fact, Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )

of the Muslims of the past and present times and will remain
so forever.

(
Worldliness is the root of all

2
evils. (Al-Jami-us-Sagheer, pp. 223, Hadees 3662)
Yazeeds heart was fully engrossed in the fondness of this
temporal world! He was greedy for popularity, authority and
power. Forgetting the consequences, he stained his hands with

the brutal murder of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. and
2

his blessed companions 3# (&
2
. . The brutal massacre he
had committed in Karbala for power and authority could not
prolong his reign. His cruel reign lasted for only 3 years and 6
months, and he died at the age of 39 in Rabi-un-Noor 64 AH
in Syria in a place called Huwwareen which is located in the
city of Homs. (Al-Kamil Fit-Tareekh, vol. 3, pp. 464)
One of the causes that are mentioned for Yazeeds death is that
he fell in love with a Roman girl but that girl actually hated him.
One day, she tricked Yazeed to go with her to a deserted area on
30
the pretext of having romance. The cool breeze of that desolate

place aroused Yazeed but the lady said that a shameless person
who was disloyal and unfaithful to his Prophets grandson could
never be faithful to her. After saying so she repeatedly stabbed
Yazeed with a dagger and left him there. For a few days, vultures
and crows feasted on his dead body. Finally, his people explored
the dead body. They dug a ditch and dumped his rotten remains.

day i.e. the 10th of Muharram, 67 AH (by the strategic revenge
conducted by Mukhtar Saqafi) Ibn Ziyad was brutally murdered
at the hands of the army of Ibraheem Bin Maalik on the banks
of the River Euphrates. The soldiers cut off his head and presented
it to Ibraheem who then sent it to Mukhtar in Kufa.

The governor house in Kufa was adorned for celebrations and
the head of Ziyad was exhibited on the same place where the

blessed head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )

six years back. There was nobody to cry for this ill-fated person;
instead people celebrated his death. (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 123)
It is narrated in a Sahih (authentic) Hadees reported by Imarah
Bin Umayr that when the head of Ubaydullah Ibn Ziyad along
with those of his accomplices was placed down, he went towards
them. Suddenly everyone started screaming, Its come. Its
come. He saw that a snake was coming. It slithered above and
between all the heads and finally approached the dirty head of
Ibn Ziyad. It entered the nostril, stayed for a while and then left.
Everyone started screaming again, Its come, its come. Same
thing happened two or three times.

Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Sad, Shimr, Qays Ibn Ashas Kandi, Kholi Ibn

Mukhtar Saqafi wiped all the Yazeedis off the face of the earth.
The oppressors were unaware that the holy blood of the martyrs
would ultimately lead to their destruction and the Yazeedi
kingdom would be shattered to pieces and that all the people

who were involved in the murder of the blessed Imam ( 3# (& )
. )
2
would be killed brutally. There would be the same bank of the
River Euphrates; the same day of Aashura; the similar group
of oppressors; and the horses of Mukhtar would trample over
them. Their majority would not benefit them. Their hands and
feet would be cut; houses would be robbed; they would be hung;
corpses would rot and everyone in the world would hate them;
people would rejoice and celebrate their deaths. In war, they
would be in thousands but they would become cowards and
would run away like eunuchs. Like dogs and mice they would
find it difficult to save themselves. Wherever they would be
found, they would be massacred instantly. They would be hated
and condemned in the world and on the Day of Judgment.

Mukhtar claimed Prophethood

Dear Islamic brothers! No one is aware of the covert will of
Allah ! " # regarding him. Though Mukhtar Saqafi killed all
the murderers of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn and won the hearts
of devotees of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn, but his predestined
misfortune overcame. He claimed Prophethood and started
proclaiming that he receives revelation.
(Al-Sawaiq-ul-Muharriqah, pp. 198)
Satanic whisper: How can such a great devotee of the Ahl-e-Bayt

be misguided and become a Murtad (apostate)? Can a false
Prophet have the ability of performing such marvellous deeds?
Remedy for the satanic whisper: Allah ! " # is dependent to
none. We should all fear His covert will because nobody knows
what will happen to him! Look! Shaytan was very learned,
obedient and ascetic; he worshipped Allah ! " # for thousands
of years but his predestined misfortune overcame and he
became cursed and an unbeliever. Balam Bin Baaoora was also
a very learned, obedient and pious person whose supplications
were always answered. He had the knowledge of Ism-e-Azam.
By virtue of his spirituality, he was capable to view Arsh-eAzam (the Divine Throne) from the earth but when his
predestined misfortune overcame, he died without Iman and
he will enter the Hell in the form of a dog. Ibn-e-Saqa was one
of the most intelligent scholars and debaters but since he became
34
disrespectful towards the Ghaus of his time, he fell in love with

a Christian princess, embraced Christianity and died ill-fated.

5 Virtues of the fasts of Muharram and Aashura

1.

It is narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah 3# (&
2
.
+
that the Prophet of Rahmah , ! &
! ' (& )
* has stated,
Leaving Ramadan, the fast of Muharram is the most
superior, and the most superior Salah after the Fard Salah
is Salat-ul-Layl (i.e. Nawafil offered during the night).
(Sahih Muslim, pp. 591, Hadees 1163)
39
2.
+
The Greatest and Holiest Prophet , ! &
! '(& )
* has stated,
The fast of every day of Muharram is equivalent to the fasts
of one month. (Al-Mujam-us-Sagheer, vol. 2, pp. 87, Hadees 1580)

I
The fast of Aashura

3.

Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Abbas @ 3# (&
2
. has stated, I
+
never saw the Noble Prophet , ! &
! '(& )
* so enthusiastic
to observe fast highlighting excellence to any day as much
+
as he , ! &
! ' (& )
* would for the day of Aashura and

the month of Ramadan.
(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 657, Hadees 2006)
Oppose the Jews

4.
+
The Holy Prophet , ! &
! ' (& )
* has stated, Observe

fast on the day of Aashura, and oppose the Jews in this by
observing an additional fast one day before or one day after
it. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 1, pp. 518, Hadees 2154)
Whenever one is to observe the fast of Aashura, it is

better for him to fast on either the 9th or 11th of Muharram
in addition.

5.

It has been reported by Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah 3# (& )
2
.
+
that the Beloved Prophet , ! &
! ' (& )
* said, I expect
from Allah ! " # that fast on Aashura removes the sins of
the previous year. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 590, Hadees 1162)
Eyes will not suffer pain or illness throughout the year

Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan 3M

C @ B . #
has stated: If a person fasts on the 9th and 10th of Muharram he
will get immense reward. If a person cooks good foods for his
family, ! " #

blessings shall prevail in the house for the
whole year. It is better to cook Khichra1 and to perform Fatihah

for Sayyiduna Imam Husayn 3# (& )
. (this has been proven

2
to be very beneficial). On this date (i.e. the 10th of Muharram),
if one performs Ghusl, ! " #

he will remain safe from
illnesses for the whole year because on this day the water of
Zamzam reaches all waters. (Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 4, pp. 142)
The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah, the
+
Owner of Jannah , ! &
! '(& )
* has stated, Whoever applies

Ismid kohl to his eyes on the day of Aashura, his eyes will never
suffer ache. (Shuab-ul-Iman, vol. 3, pp. 367, Hadees 3797)
Khichra is a food prepared by extensive cooking of meat with rice, wheat, maize,
pulses and other grains such that a homogenized mixture is formed.
