 ===Helping Imam Hussain===
-The turning point of Sa'd's story occurred in the afternoon of [[Ashura]]. When all companions of Imam were martyred and the army of Kufa had besieged Imam, Hussain called: "O, Isn't there any helper to help us? O Isn't there any defender to defend the family of the [[Prophet Muhammad|Prophet]]?" Women and children of the tents of Imam Hussain heard the call of Imam and began crying.
+Sa'd's transformation happened during the afternoon of [[Ashura]]. After all the companions of Imam were martyred, Imam Hussain called, "Oh, isn't there any helper to help us? Oh, isn't there any defender to defend the family of the [[Prophet Muhammad|Prophet]]?" Women and children in the tents of Imam Hussain heard the call of Imam and began crying.
-Hearing cries over the tents of women and children, Sa'd and his brother, Abu l-Hutuf, shouted the slogan of Khawarij: "No rule, but God's and no obedience to the one who has disobeyed Him" and then declared that "Hussain was son of the daughter of the Prophet, the intercession of whom for ourselves we wish on the Day of Judgment; so, how can we fight him while he is in such a state and has no helper and alone in the desert of Karbala, he asks for help?"
+When Sa'd and his brother, Abu l-Hutuf,  heart the cries of the woman and children,  they shouted the slogan of Khawarij, "No rule, but God's and no obedience to the one who has disobeyed Him", and then declared that "Hussain was son of the daughter of the Prophet, the intercession of whom for ourselves we wish on the Day of Judgment. How can we fight him while he is in such a state, has no helper, and stands alone in the desert of Karbala, asking for help?"
-Turning against the Army of Kufa, they unsheathed their swords and attacked the army of [[Umayyad|Umayyads]] and killed many of them until they were martyred in the same place.
+They turned against 'Umar b. Sa'd's army and unsheathed their swords. Sa'd and his brother killed many soldiers until they too were martyred.
 However, another source narrates the story in a slightly different manner. It is said that after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and when they heard cries of women, they attacked the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd and were martyred.
 ==Debates Over the Authenticity of the Report==
-Muhaqqiq Shushtari raised doubts about the authenticity of this report. In his view, given the negative attitude of Khawarij about helping governments and also the famous slogan of "No rule, but God's", it is improbable that they have helped Imam Hussain.

-On the contrary, some argue that probably they were forced to accompany the army of Kufa. However, witnessing the cruelty of the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd toward the family of the Prophet and how Imam and his family were oppressed turned their hearts toward Imam Hussain like [[Horr B. Yazid al-Riahi al-Yarbuʾi al-Tamimi|Hurr b. Yazid al-Riyahi]].
