shivering voice, ‘Yes.’ Meanwhile, someone groaned. My paternal cousin who was about to die, gesticulated hardly to say, ‘First give water to that wounded (brother).’ I saw, he was Sayyiduna Hishaam Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was breathing his last. While I was asking him to drink water, someone groaned nearby. Sayyiduna Hishaam Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘First give him water’. When I reached to that wounded person, he did not require water since he had passed away. I went to Sayyiduna Hishaam Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ immediately but he had also died. Then I went to my paternal cousin but he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ had also breathed his last (رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰي عَنۡهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡن). (Kimiya-e-Sa’adat, vol. 2, pp. 648)

They are breathing their last but everyone has the only desire that whether I get water or not, the thirst of my Islamic brother is satiated. Acting selflessly for each other in this way, besides drinking water, they all drank the chalice of martyrdom.
