Amr's brother, named Ali (other sources name him as Zubayr), fought for the army of Umar b. Sa'd. When Amr was martyred, his brother addressed Imam Hussain,<blockquote>O liar! You deceived and fooled my brother and killed him!</blockquote>The Imam responded,<blockquote>God did not deceive your brother; but, He guided him and deceived you.</blockquote>His brother shouted back,<blockquote>May God kill me if I don't kill you!</blockquote>He then attacked the Imam, but Nafi' b. Hilal hit him with a spear and he fell on the ground. Some of Ibn Ziyad's forces then took him out of the battlefield. | |||
