Event of Karbala

When al-Hajjaj learned about Imam Hussain's departure to Mecca, he moved from Kufa to Mecca and later, accompanied Imam's caravan to Kufa. He was the mu'adhdhin of the caravan on the way from Mecca to Karbala.[1]

In the Dhu Husam station, where the caravan of Imam Hussain encountered the army of Kufa under the leadership of Hurr b. Yazid al-Riyahi, the Imam ordered al-Hajjaj b. Masruq to recite adhan (call for prayers) at noon.[2]

When the caravan arrived in the Qasr b. Bani Muqatil station, Imam Hussain saw a tent. He asked about the owner of the tent, and he was told that it belonged to Ubayd Allah b. al-Hurr al-Ju'fi. The Imam sent al-Hajjaj b. Masruq to him to call him to help the Imam, but he rejected the call.[3]

Martyrdom

On the day of Ashura, al-Hajjaj asked for the Imam permission to go to the battlefield. After a while he returned to the Imam with a bloodstained body, and recited the following poem:

"may my life be sacrificed for you—the guiding and the guided. I will meet your grandfather, the Prophet, today. And then I will meet your father, Ali; the great man who I know as the successor of the Prophet ."

Imam al-Hussain told him: "Yes. And I will meet them after you."

Al-Hajjaj returned to the battlefield then, and fought until he was martyred.

Al-Hajjaj is mentioned in Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa and Ziyarat al-Rajabiyya.[4]
