🐎From Thaarallah to Baqiyyatallah

💰Al Makhzoon fi Tasleeyatul Mahzoon has documented that Imam Husayn (a.s.) gathered his fellow travelers who had resolved to go with him to Iraq, and gave each of them ten gold Dinars and a camel for carrying their luggage. He then left Makkah on the 8th of Zilhajj, the day of Tarwiyah. The Imam was accompanied by 82 men among his family, his shi’ah, friends, and retainers.

🐫After reaching a place called Tan’eem, Imam Husayn (a.s.) met a caravan of revenue coming from Yemen. The revenue was sent by Baheer bin Raysan and was to reach the hands of Yazid. As Yazid was an usurper of the caliphate, Imam Husayn confiscated the revenue and said to the drivers of the camels,

🐪“Whoever among you desires to come with us till Iraq can do so, and we shall pay them for it and shall behave well with them. While whoever desires to go back, we shall pay them the cost until here and they can leave”.

😔Imam Husayn (a.s.) then reached Zatul Irq (Malhoof), where he met Bashr bin Ghalib who was coming from Iraq. Imam asked him about the state of people in Iraq. Ghalib replied, “I have seen the people in a state that their hearts are on your side, but their swords are with Bani Umayyah.”

🙏🏾The Imam then said,
“This brother from Bani Asad says the truth, Allah does whatever He desires and orders whatever He wills”.

📜When Imam reached Hajir in Batne Ummah, he had not yet received news of the martyrdom of Muslim bin Aqeel. He sent a messenger to Kufa with a letter stating,

🖤“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. From Husayn bin Ali to his believer and Muslim brothers. I praise Allah Almighty, besides Whom there is no other Deity. Now then! I have received the letter from Muslim bin Aqeel, informing me regarding the fairness of your intentions and the compliance of your noblemen to assist us and seek our rights. I invoke Allah, the Honorable, the Glorified, that we may face fairness and reward you with the greatest reward. I have left Makkah on Tuesday, the eighth of Zilhajj, the day of Tarwiyyah. When my messenger reaches you, speeden up your task and prepare yourselves that I shall reach you within some days. Peace be upon you and Allah’s Mercy and His Blessings”

🐎From Thaarallah to Baqiyyatallah

🐪After the martydom of Qais bin Moshher Saydaw, the Imam’s messenger in Kufa, Ibn Ziyad ordered to close all roads including Waqisa, the road to Kufa; Syria, the road to Shaam; and Iraq, the road to Basra, in order to paralyze any communication between the Imam and his Ummah (Montahiyul A’maal Vol.1).

😔Imam Hussein (AS) continued his journey until he reached a watering place of Arabs where Abdullah Bin Mtee Adawi was residing. Abdullah said to the Imam, "O son of the Prophet of Allah, I request you in the name of Allah to consider the sanctity of Islam, beside the sanctity of Quraish and the Arabs. By Allah, if you are going to take away the kingdom from Bani Ummayah, they will kill you. And when they have killed you they shall not fear anyone else after you. By Allah, Thus the sanctity of Islam, Quraish and the Arabs will be violated. Hence do not do so, and do not go to Kufa and do not expose yourself to Bani Umayyah" (Nafasul Mahmum).

🕋Imam Hussein (AS) replied by reciting the following verse from the quran:

قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُو مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
َ
🙏Say, “Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector. And upon Allah let the believers rely." (9:51)
