The Trampled Master
The narrations state that the horses that trampled Imam Hussain's (as) body were known as Aawajiyya, and they had distinctive characteristics above other stallions.
A researcher who studied these features for months finally found a book by a German expert on horses known as 'The World's Strongest Stallions'. It says
There are certain stallions known as Aawajiyya and their specialty is that each stomp of each hoof weighs 65kgs and its purpose is to crush and grind what is beneath it.
Then the narrator says
I remember one of the riders of Ibn Saad's army mentioned: "I heard the ribs of Hussain crack and snap when we crushed him under our horses"
O people who ask why we cry over the son of Fatima (sa)
Think about it
10 horses trampled Imam Hussain (as)
Each stomp 65kgs
4 hooves each horse
4×10 = 40 stomps
40×65 = 2600 kgs
2600kgs crushed the chest of one of the two Masters of Heaven, the son of Fatima Zahra (sa), the dearest grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hp).
This narration is no surprise for Imam Zain ul Abideen (as) as he mentions: "My father's chest collapsed in on his back". When he came back to bury him, he would pick up one side of his father and the other side would fall apart.
