Battle of SiffinEdit


Fight and DeathEdit

The Euphrates river was occupied by Yazid's Army to prevent the camp of Husayn from getting water. Shias believe that Abbas, because of his skill and bravery, could have attacked Yazid's army, occupied the river, and retrieved water for the camp alone. However, Abbas was not allowed to fight so he had to go with out a sword. He was only allowed to get water.Here again is a sign of his unlimited Loyalty. Abbas said: If i was alloud to fight my Flag would already be on tob of Yazids Palace. But he wasnt allowed to so he didnt. Thus, he went to the river to get water for Husayn’s 4 year old daughter Sakina bint Husayn. He was killed on Friday, 10th Muharram 61 Hijri on the banks of the river Euphrates). Hence, he is called Hero of Al-Qamah (another name for the river Euphrates). His death is generally mourned on the 8th night of Muharram. Shia Muslims mourn the death of all martyrs of Islam associated with Husayn in the month of Muharram, the first of the Islamic calendar, mainly in the first ten days. See Remembrance of Muharram.

Abuse of his BodyEdit

The enemy forces decided to run their horses over the body of qasim ibn hassan who was only 13 his feet didn't een reach the bottom of the saddle.. They did this in order to inflict the maximum possible humiliation on the households of Muhammad and Ali. 09:51, December 4, 2011 (UTC) ya ali madat82.38.168.83 09:51, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Why is Abbas known as Ghazi? Edit

Ghazi means soldier who returns successfully from the battle. Although Abbas was killed at Karbala, he is known as Ghazi because when he carried out the first strike against Yazid's army, his mission was to bring water for the children of Imam Hussain's children, especially after sakina, youngest daughter of Hussain who was around five years old at that time, requested him to bring water for the children. Imam Hussain gave mola Abbas the permission to bring water. [1]
