Neither the religion nor the world

O devotees of the Companions and Ahl-ul-Bait! It is a reality that he who runs after this world, it makes him run after it, and falling prey to its love, he becomes disobedient and rebellious, and gradually, moves away from Deen, without even acquiring this world. Same was the case with the followers of Yazeed who out of the love of this world, crossed all the limits in oppressing the grandson of the Prophet, Imam Husain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ and his household, they prevented water reaching them, and martyred him along with his companions mercilessly. The love of this world made them commit such a heinous crime, but they did not gain anything out of it. Some of them became a sign of admonition in the very same field of Karbala, whereas, some met their dreadful end later on. Now we will hear about the outcome of those accursed individuals who met their ends in the field of Karbala.

Horse threw the insolent in the fire

My Sheikh-e-Tareeqat, the Ameer of ahl al-Sunnah, ‘Allamah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ writes on p. 4 of his booklet, entitled ‘Miraculous Wonders of Imam Hussain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ’: ‘On the day of ‘Aashura i.e. Friday the 10th of Muharram, 61 AH, when His Excellence Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ was delivering a sermon to the Yazeedi soldiers in the battlefield of Karbala in order to leave no room for excuse on their side, a foul-mouthed Yazeedi (Maalik Bin ‘Urwah) looked towards the fire which was lit in a trench for the protection of the camps of the oppressed caravan and said, ‘O Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ! You have lit this fire before that of the Hereafter.’ Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ! replied: کَذَبْتَ یاعَدُوَّ اللّٰہ meaning ‘O enemy of Allah! You are a liar! Do you think, مَعَاذَ اللہ I will go to the Hell?’ A devotee of Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, Sayyiduna Muslim Bin ‘Awsajah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ asked permission from Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ to fire an arrow at the face of the foul-mouthed Yazeedi but Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ did not allow it and said, ‘We should not initiate the attack.’ Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ then lifted his hands for prayer and supplicated, ‘O Rab-e-Qahhar عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Make this wicked person suffer the punishment of worldly fire before the torment of the hellfire.’ The
