August 2024 |Mahjubah Magazine39- As recorded in history, Bahriyya, daughter of Mas%u2019ud al-Khazraji, the wife of Junada ibn Ka%u2019b alAnsari, was one of the martyrs of Karbala.- Having a teenage son named Amr, she was called Umm Amr.- Umm Amr, along with her husband and teenage son, joined the caravan of Hussain ibn Ali (AS) right in Makkah. She sacrificed her husband and son for the Imam of her time in Karbala.- After her husband, Junada, was martyred on the Day of Ashura, she ordered her son, Amr, who was only 11 years old, to go to the battlefield and support the Imam.- When, after her son%u2019s martyrdom, the enemy threw his head towards his mother, Bahriyya embraced the bloody severed head of her son and said - without any complaint, lamentation, and vehemence - %u201cWell done my son! O you the joy of my heart and O you the light of my eyes!%u201d- Thereafter, she threw back the head of her son toward a man from the enemy%u2019s army so hard that it hit his chest and killed him instantly. She then removed the pillar of their tent and attacked the enemy while reciting this verse:%u064d%u0629%u064e%u0628%u0636%ufffd%u064e%u0652%u0650%u0652 %u0628%u0645%u064f%u064f%u06a9%u0628%u0650%u064e%u0636%ufffd%u0652%u0652%u0641%u0629%u0627%u064e%u062d%u06cc %u0646%u064c%u064c %u0628%u0627%u0644%u06cc%u0629%u064e%u06cc%u0629%u0651%u062f%u06cc %u0636%u0639%u06cc%u0641%u0629%u062e%u0627%u0648%u064f%u0648%u0632 %u0633%u06cc%u064e%u062c%u0651 %u0639%u0646%u0627%ufffd%u0650%u0629%u0634 %u0627%u0644%ufffd%u0651%u06cc%u0641%u0629%u064e%u0652%u0650%u0641%u0627%u0637%u0645%u0650 %u0627%u0644%u064e%u0646%ufffd %u0628%u064e%u064f%u0646%u064e%u0646%u06cc%u0641%u0629%u062f%u0648%u0639(I am a weak and feeble woman who fights with you in support of Fatima%u2019s son.)- Then, while chanting slogans, she killed two men from the enemy%u2019s army with the same pillar she had removed from their tent. The Imam (AS) then prevented her from continuing and asked her to return to the camp.- Paying attention to the verses that this woman chanted while fighting the enemy is the best proof of her greatness. She, who had sacrificed her beloved husband on the path of her Imam, and had followed her own Ismail to the altar of sacrifice for the Imam, had not even mentioned the names of her martyred husband and son in what she chanted. Rather, with the sincerity that can only be the result of complete attachment to the Imam of her time, she only took the name of Hazrat Fatima%u2019s (SA) son and there was no mention of revenge for the blood of her loved ones in her words. All that was there was support for the son of Hazrat Fatima (SA).Bahriyya
