Editing Amr b. Junada al-Ansari (section)

==Joining Imam al-Hussain==
Amr b. Junada was 21 years old when he was martyred and according to another report, he was 11 or 9 years old. He joined Imam al-Hussain with his mother and father in Mecca and after his father, Junada was martyred on the Day of [[Ashura|Ashura]]; his mother ordered him to go and fight the enemy, telling him, "My son! Go and help al-Hussain!" He went to Imam and asked for permission to go to the battlefield. First, Imam did not give permission, so Amr once again mentioned his request. Then, Imam said, "This young man's father has been martyred; so, maybe his mother would not like him to go to the battlefield." He said, "O son of the Prophet! My mother has ordered me to help you and has put on me the clothes for fighting." Thus, Imam gave him permission and he went to the battlefield.
