Historians have confirmed that Imam al-Husayn (a) used to carry the bodies of his soldiers who were killed in the battlefield to a special tent prepared for this purpose. For instance, historians have confirmed that al-Hurr ibn Yazid when killed, was carried to the tent where those who had been killed were kept and Imam al-Husayn ordered some young men of his household to carry the body of his son ‘Ali to that tent, and he himself carried the body of al-Qasim, his nephew to the same tent. It is also related that Imam al-Baqir (a) said: “Al-Husayn used to place the bodies of the killed ones in one place and used to comment: These martyrs are just like the martyred Prophets and sons of Prophets.”3 Nevertheless, Imam al-Husayn (a) left the body of his brother al-’Abbas in the place where he fell wounded at the banks of the River al-Alqami, near the dam. Some historians have mentioned that Imam al-Husayn (a) could not carry the body of al-’Abbas because it was wounded so heavily that all the organs were separated from each other
