38 August 2024 |Mahjubah Magazine- Umm Wahab and her son and daughter-in-law were Christians. About seventeen days had passed since the wedding of Wahab and Haniyeh when they camped in the green desert of %u201cTha%u2019labiya%u201d near Karbala.- It is stated in history that Imam Hussain (AS) reached the land of %u201cTha%u2019labiya%u201d while moving towards Kufa, and based on his magnanimity, he greeted the camp of Umm Wahab.- Umm Wahab complained about the shortage of water and the problems they faced because of it, and the Imam (AS) who was a clear exemplar of %u201ckindness, benevolence, and generosity, removed a part of the earth with his spear and suddenly water began to boil from the heart of the earth. Thereafter, Imam (AS) said to Umm Wahab: %u201cTell your son, when he comes, that he can help us if he so wishes.%u201d- After returning and witnessing the magnanimity of the son of the Messenger of God (PBUH), Wahab became eager to meet him and went to the Imam (AS) along with his mother and newlywed spouse and they all converted to Islam. Wahab went to the battlefield on the Day of Ashura and fought with the enemy until he was martyred. His wife sat on his body and cried.- His bloodied body was taken to Umar ibn Sa%u2019d and his head was removed from his body, and his wife once again sat by his pure body, placed his head on her chest, and wept. At this time, the enemy attacked this newlywed bride with an iron mass, martyred her, and sent her to her beloved husband. Thereafter, the enemies threw Wahab%u2019s head to that brave old woman to torture the mother.- This mother patiently and selflessly kissed the young man%u2019s head, praised God Almighty, and then threw his head towards the enemy%u2019s army denoting %u201cI will not take back what I have given in the way of God. Ironically, that head hit an enemy of his chest and killed him. It has been narrated that the person who was killed was the same man who had killed Wahab.- Thereafter, Umm Wahab took the pillar of their tent and rushed to fight the enemy, and sent two of the enemy%u2019s men to hell. The Imam, then, made her return to the camp and promised her paradise.Umm WahabAmina Beit Sayah
