The trampling of the martyrs’ bodies 🥀🕊❤ On the orders of Ibn Ziad, Ibn Saʿd was to make his soldiers ride horses on the bodies of the martyrs, after their death, to trample their bodies in to shreds. So on Ashura evening, he called out to his men, hoping to endear himself by so doing to Ibn Ziad and persuade him to appoint him the ruler of Rey: “مَنْ يَنْتَدِبُ لِلْحُسَيْن عليه السلام فَيُوطِيَ الْخَيْلَ صَدْرَهُ وَ ظَهْرَهُ” “Who is ready to ride his horse on Husayn’s body to trample it and break his chest and back”? Shimr, who was a truly ruthless man, volunteered first and ten others followed him and rode horses on the martyr’s bodies, trampling their bodies completely. Sending the sacred head of Imam Husayn (ʿa) to Kūfah As he was impatient to give ʿUbaydullah ibn Ziad the news of his victory, Umar ibn Saʿd ordered Khūlī ibn Yazid, and Ḥamid ibn Muslem on Ashura evening to take Imam Husayn’s head to Kūfah and deliver it to Ibn Ziad. #imamhusayn #yazahra #alabbas #Muharram #ashura2020 #Karbala https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiqhL5sLW-/?igshid=utzorpya6ai
