Muharram Special - Part 12 [Battle of Karbala - Part 6]

IMAM MUSLIM IS MARTYRED:

Imam Muslim Radi Allahu Anhu called on the people of Kufa for assistance and narrations say that approximately 40000 people accompanied him to the government building. By now ibn Ziyaad had placed the leaders of kufa on the roof top of the building and threatened to kill them if they did not leave Imam Muslim bin Aqeel Radi Allahu Anhu.

Within a short while, not one person from the 40000 was with Imam Muslim. The people of Kufa had again shown their disloyalty to the Ahle Bait of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

Imam Muslim Radi Allahu Anhu was later taken by the soldiers of ibn Ziyaad and made shaheed.

ﺇِﻧَّﺎ ﻟِﻠّﻪِ ﻭَﺇِﻧَّـﺎ ﺇِﻟَﻴْﻪِ ﺭَﺍﺟِﻌﻮﻥَ

Later, even the two sons of Imam Muslim were martyred. These were two young children who accompanied their father, thinking that they were journeying to a place that was filled with true followers of the Ahle Bait.
