According to most historians, many men from Husayn’s side were killed before Horr (see, e.g., Ṭabari, II, p. 350; tr. I. K. A. Howard, XIX, p. 144). However, Horr’s own words when he rallied behind Husayn imply that he might have been the first to be killed at Karbala. [[Shiʿite]] tradition has retained this sequence of events, apparently derived from the work of [[Shaykh al-Mofid]], who does not mention anyone having been killed before Horr, except Muslim b. ʿAwsaja (tr. Howard, 1981, pp. 356 f.). In Turco-Persian [[maqtal-nama]] narratives of the drama of Karbala, which were used extensively by Kashefi for his [[Rawzat al-Shuhada]] (see Calmard, 1996, p. 155), after having killed many enemies, Horr became the first martyr of the battle. His [[martyrdom]] was followed by those of his brother, Moṣʿab b. Yazid, his son ʿAli, and the latter’s slave (Kashefi, pp. 277 ff.; see Calmard, 1975, pp. 351 ff.). | According to most historians, many men from Husayn’s side were killed before Horr (see, e.g., Ṭabari, II, p. 350; tr.
