Ibne Shahr Ashob says that in Kerbala, an accursed fellow from Bani Kalb shot an arrow at Imam Husain (a).
“May God never quench your thirst,” said Imam Husain (a).
So this fellow was soon struck with pangs of thirst and he drank a lot of water, but this thirst continued to increase and finally he jumped into the Euphrates and died drinking the water.
Tabari has mentioned regarding another accursed fellow that Malik bin Yaseer Kindi approached Imam Husain (a) when the latter was exhausted due to the excess of his injuries. With his sword, Malik slashed the head of Imam Husain (a) wounding him and cutting through his cap.
Imam Husain (a) cursed him saying, “You won’t be able to eat or drink anything and God will raise you with the oppressors.”
Then Imam Husain (a) removed his blood smeared cap and threw it away. This man picked it up and brought it home.
His wife asked, “Whose blood-stained cap is this?” and when he told her about it, she said, “You accursed fellow, you looted Husain’s belonging and brought it to my place? Get out from here and don’t dare to enter this house again.”
That fellow spent the rest of his life in extreme deprivation.
