Hadiths from Imam Hosain (as): #11 Relieving Muslim Ibn Aqeel's son.

قالَ اِمام الحسين س: اَنْتَ في حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتي حَسْبُكَ قَتْلُ اَبِيْكَ مُسْلِمٍ خُذْ بِيَدِ اُ مِّكَ وَ اخْرُجْ مِنْ هذِهِ اَلْمَعْرَكَةِ 2


"Oh son of Muslim! I have taken any oaths you have to me away; the shaheed, Muslim, you have given is enough for you. Take your mothers hand and leave this battle field."

Even though the fight had started and a group of friends had already become shaheed, Imam wouldn't stop informing people and providing proof (of their freedom of choice).
