It is narrated in some of the books which narrate the biographies and killing events that that Al-Abbas (PBUH) used to seek permission form Imam Hussein (PBUH) for fighting in the battle and then Imam Hussein (PBUH) would permit him. The last time that Imam Hussein (PBUH) permitted him was to bring some water for the children. Does that mean that Al-Abbas was brought for fighting or for bringing water? How would you describe the virtue and greatness of watering Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) family through this and other attitudes?
Answer
In the name of Allah, what you have mentioned exists in the books of killing events. In these two situations, it seems that Imam Hussein (PBUH) does not like to push Abu Alfadhl Al-Abbas to fight the enemies, a reason why Imam Hussein (PBUH) only asked him for bringing water. It is known that the fighter whose job is only fighting can kill more enemies than that whose job is to fight and bring water. This fighter will be defending the water and fighting at the same time; his power will be divided between the two purposes. Be advise, my son, that we have reiterated that the narrations on the tragic event of Al-Taff are speculated and different due to many reasons. Some of the reliable narrations say that Imam Hussein and Al-Abbas (PBUT) both went out to fight; if one got into the fight the other would cover the former’s back. This narration is regarded as a foreign, different one from that ones which are known in the books of the killing events where Imam Hussein (PBUH) assigned Al-Abbas the job of bringing water. However, let the Husseini speakers mention what they have memorized of these narrations. Do not argue them. Allah knows best.
