martyred at Karbala alongside his Imam. Imam Hussain's (as) caravan reached Karbala and camped there on the 2nd Muharram. Since that moment, battalions upon battalions of the Yazeedi army started reaching the camp side. Janab e Zainab (sa) saw this and asked her brother, the enemy keeps growing, but is there anyone you can call to come to aid our side? Imam (as) thought of his friend Habib ibne Mazahir in that moment. He (as) asked for a pen and paper to write a letter to him. According to Arab traditions, when someone wrote their name, they wrote it with their father's name. But when they're in a desperate situation, they write their mother's name instead.
