When Imam Ali (PBUH), was leaving this world, he gave the hand of every one of his family members to Imam Hasan (PBUH). He even gave the hand of Imam Husain in the hand of Hasan, and said now he is your Imam. But he gave the hand of Abbas to Husain. He said Abbas, Hasan and Hussain are the children of the Prophet, you are my son! Abbas, you will represent me in Karbala. Abbas, Husain is your Mawla. As long as you are alive, nothing should happen to Husain".

When Imam Ali lost his wife Fatima, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (S), he summoned his brother Aqil who was a well- known genealogist to ask him to search for a lady who being a descendant of heroes would give birth to a courageous, immaculate hero whose mission would be to support his brother al-Husayn (S) in the field of Karbala.

May have antimicrobial properties

Pomegranate compounds may help fight harmful microorganisms.

For instance, they may protect oral health by reducing the growth of germs that can contribute to bad breath and tooth decay.

Pomegranates contain compounds that help fight off potentially harmful bacteria, fungi, and yeasts — particularly germs in the mouth that can cause bad breath and tooth decay.

During the battle of at-Taff and the few days preceding it, Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad, the governor of Kufa, imposed a blockade on the sources of water so as to prevent Imam al-Husayn (a), his household and army from having water. Al-Abbas, undertook the mission of fetching water to the camp and harem of his brother. He pushed himself among the large gatherings of that army and reached the River Euphrates several times. On that account, he had the epithet as - Saqqaa - the provider of water.

Al-Abbas adhered to his father when he was in Medina, and when he moved to Iraq and resided in Kufa, al-Abbas was also under his thoughtful care and wise education. Through heredity, education and environment, al-Abbas acquired all virtues, high moral standards, knowledge and conversance.

Al-Abbas was nursed at the hands of a faithful, mother who nurtured him on faith, loyalty, knowledge, devoutness and high principles. His father too, was that great personality who is described as a copy of the Prophet (S), the inheritor of the prophet’s knowledge and the hero of all combats. Al-Abbas was brought up under the custody of these parents. No wonder then that he possessed such a personality and offered such big sacrifices for the sake of his religion and principles.
