On 8th Dhul-Hajj, the very day on which Hazrat Muslim was murdered in Kufa, Imam Husayn's caravan left Mecca. Imam Husayn did not know of Hazrat Muslim's death.
Na mshindo huo, zama hizo, ulikuwa ni shahada ya Imam Husayn a.s. huko Karbala. Asingejitolea yeye muhanga, na watu wake, Uislamu usingekuwako hadi hii leo.
