Today we tell the arrogant world what Abu al‑Fadl al‑Abbas said in the plain of Karbala, in the gathering of the few supporters of al‑Husayn during that painful and brutal siege—amid thirst, hunger, and intimidation—when his maternal uncles from a tribe in Amr ibn Sa'd’s army reached out to him: Shimr ibn Zilmaan.

They shouted and said to al‑Abbas, “Leave this battle; you will have safety—for you and for your brothers.”

Al‑Abbas replied to them, “Do you promise us? Do you give us safety? The son of the Messenger of God—no.”

“Safety for him? May God curse you; there will be no safety from your promise. Today we say that al‑Husayn ibn Ali”

“—the martyr of Karbala— is the emblem of every person of right who is oppressed, persecuted, besieged, and killed”

“and whose children are killed, whose women are taken captive, and who is besieged to the point of thirst and hunger. This symbol and this”

“title is present in this battle. Today we say to all who address Hezbollah”

“and tell them, ‘Get out of this battle and you will be safe; abandon this struggle’”},{

“and you will remain alive and be removed from the lists of terrorism—the terrorism that means”}]}

They have the resistance defending the nation, supporting the Palestinian people, supporting the defense of

the dignity and sanctities of this nation. We say to them: and you are witnesses under this

airport: our men and our women and our children and our mujahideen and everyone who believes in this

On this path we tell them: the words of Al‑Abbas ibn Ali Abd al‑Fadl in the square of Karbala

Do you give us safety? The people of Palestine have no safety. The children of Palestine have no safety

The mujahideen of Palestine have no safety. Jerusalem has no safety. Al‑Aqsa Mosque has no safety, but

I cry out for safety, and the oppressed have no safety. You have no safety; forgive me, O

arrogant one. May God curse you. And curse your safety.
