Imam Al Baqir (as) : “When (divine) support came to al Husayn (as) it filled the earth to the heavens and then he was given choice to have victory or to meet Allah, but he chose the latter.”
Imam al-Baqir(asws) who has said the following: "Al-Hussain(asws) sustained injuries. Three hundred and twenty-some injuries because of the spears, swords and arrows were found on his body and it is narrated that all of them were on the front side of his body because he would not turn back in fighting."
[Al Amali by sheikh Al Saduq]
Al Husayn ibn Muhammad has said any kurayb and sa'id al-Ashja narrated to him that Abd Allah ibn Idris narrated to them from his father, Abd Allah al-Awdi who has said :
"When al-Husayn (as), was murdered people wanted to run horses over his (al-Husayn's) body. Fizza then said to Zaynab (sa) ‘My lady, there was a shipwreck and Safina came out on an Island face to face with a lion. He (Safina ) said to the lion, “O abu al-Harith, I am a slave of the Messenger of Allah.”
The lion murmured in front of him and showed him the way. There lives a lion in this area. Allow me to go and inform him of what the people intend to do to al-Husayn (as) tomorrow.
The narrator has said that she (Fizza) went to the lion and said, 'O abu al-Harith and the lion raised his head.
She asked, “Do you know what these people intend to do to abu `Abd Allah (as)? They intend to run horses over his body.”
The narrator has said that the lion walked (all the way) and placed both of his hands over the body of al-Husayn (as) When the horsemen came they found the lion in that position and ‘Umar ibn Sa'd (may he fall in condemnation of Allah) told them, “It is mischief. Do not bother and turn back. They turned back.”
