That he walks toward the Furat (Euphrates River). On the way towards the Furat there
was a great opposition towards him. There were a number of soldiers stationed by the
Furat. He managed to fight and kill over 80 of those soldiers. He got towards the Furat
and when he got towards the Furat he knew he wanted to collect the water but you know
he hadn't drank water for a while, his lips were dry, he looked at the water. He looked
at the water and then he thought to himself 'should I drink?! But no! How can I drink
from the cold water while my brother drinks from the surpe of death? Yes?, so he put that
water and he collected it. May Allah give all of us the patience my dear brothers and
sisters. On his way back he began to ride his horse. Suddenly a man came from behind
and struck the right arm of Abalfadhl Abbas, he tried to hold the flask and the flag, all
of a sudden a man cut the left arm of Abalfadhl. Now he was without water, he was still trying
to hold the flag for Aba Abdillah. All of a sudden Harmala ibn Kahil struck an arrow
on the right eye of abalfahdlil Abbas, he fell down towards the ground. Sheikh narrates
' I was giving a majlis for Abalfadhl in Karbala, he said I gave the majlis, I went home in
my dream I saw Fatima Zahra(as) she was crying and so i said why do you cry? Have I said
something wrong in the majlis of Abbas? She said no you haven't. So I say why do you cry?
She said, I want you to tell every speaker of Abbas to narrate the following moments,
he said what is it? She said I want you to tell every speaker that when he narrates Abbas
falling from the horse make sure he mentions that normally when someone falls from the
horse they fall with their hands in front of them, but my Abbas fell on the ground with
no hands in front of him in Karbala.' So when he fell on the ground they began to attack
him. Sayeda Zainab noticed the flag, the flag was still high, but then the flag fell she
turned around to Aba Abdillah and said 'Abbas' flag has fallen', Aba Abdillah rode on his
horse, he went towards his brothers body the body was on the ground. You know they struck
Abalfadhl so much that he couldn't hear or he couldn't see. Yes. He couldn't hear anything,
he couldn't see anything. So when he was on the ground he knew there was bound to be some
people around him. So he called oh soldiers don't kill me - my brother Hussayn is going
to be here in a moment. Then he felt the lips of Imam Hussayn on his cheeks, when he found
the lips of imam Husain on his cheeks the first thing he looked at him, Aba Abdillah
looked at him and began to wipe away the blood from Abalfadhl. But you know what Abalfadhl
did in that moment, he turned around and he said 'Aba Abdillah I beg you wipe away the
blood from my eyes, he said I beg you wipe away the blood from my eyes, I would wipe
it away but I don't have any hands to wipe the blood away'. At that moment Aba Abdillah
took the head of Abaldahl on his lap but Abalfadhl removed his head, Aba Abdillah put the head
back, Abalfadhl removed his head. Aba Abdillah wondered why? All of a sudden he heard the
cry ' at the moment you put my head in your lap but in a few moments who will take your
head on their lap?' When Aba Abdillah wanted to take him back towards the tents Abbas said
to him, 'ya Aba Abdillah don't take me back, leave me here', he said why? He said 'I promised
Sukaina water, I don't want to let her down'. I say to him 'Abalfadhl, if you didn't want
to let Sukaina down I wish you would have seen the way they whipped Sukaina after you
died.'
