Warriors of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)

Just before Imam Husain (a.s.) left Madina, Ummul Baneen (s.a.) summoned all her four sons and said to them: “My sons you must remember that while I love you, Al-Imam Al-Husain (a.s.) is your Master. If he or his sisters or his children get injured or hurt while you are still alive, I will never forgive you."
Abbas laid down his dear life in the arms of Al-Imam al-Husain (a.s.). Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) was heard to whisper softly:
“My master, I have some last wishes to express. When I was born, I had my first look at your face and it is my last desire that when I die, my gaze may be on it, too. My one eye is pierced by an arrow and the other is filled with blood. If you will clear the blood from my one eye, I'll be able to see you and fulfill my last dying desire. My second wish is that when I die you may not carry my body to the camp. I had promised to bring water to Sukayna and since I could not bring her water, I cannot face her even in death. Besides, I know that the blows that you have received since morning have all but crushed you and carrying my body to the camp will be heart-breaking work for you. And my third wish is that Sukayna may not be brought here to see my plight. I know with what love and affection she was devoted to me. The sight of my dead body lying here will kill her.”
Then Al-Husain (a.s.) sobbingly said: “Abbas, I too have a wish to be fulfilled. Since childhood you have always called me master. For once at least call me brother with your dying breath.” And Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) was heard to whisper “My brother, my brother.”

Hazrat
Abbas (a.s.) was born at Medina on 7th Rajab/4th Shabaan 26 A.H.(645
A.D.). When the news of his birth reached Imam Ali (a.s.), he prostrated himself on the
ground as a token of his humble thanks to God. Imam Husain (a.s.) took the baby
in his arms and recited the Azan and Eqamat (Calls for Prayers) in his right
and left ears respectively. Then the new born baby opened his eyes to see the
beloved face of Imam Husain. On the seventh day of his birth the ceremony of
Aqeeqa (which is one of the emphasized Sunnats) was performed and Imam Ali
named the child 'Abbas'.
Abul Fadhl al Abbas was an embodiment of handsomeness -
that is why he was known as Qamar-e-Bani
Hashim, the Moon of the family of Hashim – bravery, valiant ness, boldness,
patience, endurance, grace, elegance and faithfulness – that is why he was
called King of Faithfulness. Just before Imam Husain (a.s.) left Madina, Ummul Baneen (s.a.) summoned all her four sons and said to them: “My sons you must remember that while I love you, Al-Imam Al-Husain (a.s.) is your Master. If he or his sisters or his children get injured or hurt while you are still alive, I will never forgive you."
