The sacrifice of Al-Qasim AS 
Al-Qasim was standing amongst the rest who still alive with Imam Hussain AS. Some of the narrations states that Al-Qasim was martyred before his uncle Al-Abbas AS was martyred, and some says after. Despite all of that, Al-Qasim was in the camp of Imam Hussain AS, suddenly, he heard his uncle crying,” "Is there not a protector who can defend the sanctity of the Prophet? Is there not a believer who may fear God of that which is befalling us? Is there not a deliverer who may aspire to God's reward in alleviating our distress?" On hearing that, the combat spirit, the spirit of sacrificing became high inside the heart of Al-Qasim AS. He went to his uncle and said,” O uncle, give me the permission to fight!” He AS told him,” O son Qasim, you are the deposit of my brother, you are the mark!” He continuously kissed the hands and feet of Imam Hussain AS until Imam Hussain AS said to him,” O son Qasim, you are walking toward death on your feet!” Qasim AS answered,” How could not, he who see you with no aid or supporter?! Aren’t you crying for helper or supporter?” Until he said,” O My uncle, May I sacrifice my own self for you, and May my I sacrifice my soul to protect yours. O uncle, allow me to fight, I cannot stand to live anymore!” On hearing this, Imam Hussain AS hugged him, and started to weep loudly, as if he was calling ,” O brother, O Hassan!”. The Sadness returned back on the heart of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain AS, because he was not only a farewell a young man but he also resembles his brother AL-Hassan Almujtaba AS. Before he went to the battlefield, Imam Hussain AS said to him,” O son Qasim, come to me” then he took him to the tent of the Poisoned Imam Hassan AS, where a box was located there. The box contained deposits of Imam Hassan AS, clothes, and the military uniform of Imam Al-Hassan AS. Imam Hussain took out the clothes of Imam Hassan, his turban, and the sword of Imam Al-Hassan, and putted them on Al-Qasim AS. Then he AS said,” O son, Qasim! Go to the battlefield!” He went to the battlefield and was reciting “If you do not know me I am the son of Hassan, the grandson of the Prophet, the chosen one, the confidante, this is Hussain similar to the one captivated by the mortgager, in the midst of the people who may be deprived of rain water”. Then He began to fight the enemies until he killed a big number of them.
Self-Praise of Al-Qasim AS If we recognize the action of Al-Qasim when he bent to fix the strap of shoe of which was broken despite the gathering of the army which surrendered him, and their scary shouts, you will touch the heroism of this young Alawi-Hashimite and his ancestors. He did not care about any of his enemies, all he carried about is to avoid walking in one shoe, especially because there was (karaha: unlikeness, a shar'i ruling) to walk in one shoe, and there might be a faultfinding person who might see him in that way. Let us take a deep look at what Hameed bin Muslim said about this noble, and self-praise character. Hameed bin Muslim, who says that a youth, similar to 'the first Splinter of the New Moon', stepped into the battlefield. He held a sword in his hand and wore a cloak and shirt. He wore shoes in his feet, the strap of one of which was broken, and if I do not forget it was the left one. We can’t imagine the value of Al-Qasim heroism. He stepped on foot to the battlefield, and then his shoe was broken, and he did not care about all crowds which were surrendering him, which were fully aromored, but he leaned down to fix his shoe. That some historians narrated this expressing (the son of messenger of Allah SAWA, refused to walk with naked feet in the battlefield). This was unmatched bravery, and remarkable prowess. Al-Qasim AS following the path of the martyrs When Al-Qasim bent to fix his shoe, the villainy spirit which was represented by Azdi began to work out. This what Hameed bin Muslim meant when he narrated the following: Umar bin Sa'ad bin Nufayl Azdi said, “I desire to attack him”. I said, “Glory be to Allah! Why so? This army which has surrounded him from all sides will surely kill him”. He said, “By Allah! I shall attack him, and I will make his mother to weep over him”. He attacked him while the child was fixing his shoe and before he could turn his face towards him, he dealt a blow upon his head with his sword and slit it. The child fell down on his face upon the ground and called out, “Peace be up on you, O dear uncle! Come to my aid”. Then I saw Hussain AS standing at the head of Qasim, who was stretching his feet upon the ground. Imam Hussain AS said, “By Allah! It is hard upon your uncle that he could not come to your aid when you called him, or he answered but it could not benefit you”. (May Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon him). Then Hussain AS said, “By Allah! Here he has numerous murderers while his aides are quite less”. Historians stated: Imam Hussain AS leaned down to Al-Qasim and dragged him to his chest –putted his chest AS on his chest, and taken him towards the camp. Whereas at this influential scene Imam Hussain bended and bended down, Al-Qasim’s feet were drawings lines on earth, but why? Was it because he was taller than Imam Hussain AS? No, but because the misfortune of lose of Al-Qasim, foiled the morale of our Imam AS. Imam Hussain AS Arrived to the tent and putted him down in the tent of the martyrs AS. Then he AS said,” O cousins, Patience on death! You won’t see any mortification, after this day, alas!”. Women seek permissions Some said that, when Imam Hussain AS brought Al-Qasim to the tent where was Ali Al-Akbar, he putted Al-Qasim next to Ali AS. He was looking at the face of Ali Al- Akbar once, then to the face of Al-Qasim at another, while he was wiping his tears with his sleeves. Some said that he reclined between them for a long time. The mother of Al-Akbar and the mother of Al-Qasim were waiting him to go out, because they were shy to weep over their sons on his existence. Therefore they went to Zainab AS, and asked her to go, and ask Imam Hussain AS to let them cry over the youth. Later, Zainab AS came to Imam Hussain AS and said,” O Abu Abdullah, may Allah help you for this disaster. O Abu Abdullah, these are the mother of Al-Qasim, and the mother of Al-Akbar AS, they want to enter to cry over their sons, but they feel shy because of you.” Imam Hussain AS,” It’s the chief of disasters and calamities, let them come and cry their sons” then Zainab Alhawra AS called them,” O Laila, O Ramla, come to cry and weep!”.
