Hosein's horse was wounded--he fell to the ground.

The hour of prayer, between noon and sunset, had arrived; the Imaun began the religious duties:--as Hosein prayed, he heard the cries of his infant child Abdallah, only twelve months old.

The child was, at his desire, placed on his bosom: as he wept over it, it was transfixed by an arrow.
Hosein dragged himself to the Euphrates: as he slaked his burning thirst, his mouth was pierced by an arrow: he drank his own blood.
Wounded in four-and-thirty places, he still gallantly resisted.

A soldier named Zeraiah gave the fatal wound: his head was cut off by Ziliousheng.
