Suwayd was the last person from Imam Hussain's army who went to the battlefield<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk'', vol. 5, p. 446.</ref>. He fought bravely against [[Yazid]]'s army until he was severely injured and fell down among other martyrs. Everyone thought that he was killed. After a while, however, Suwayd heard people saying that Imam Hussain was killed. He stood on his feet with a great deal of effort and since his sword was taken away, he fought with a dagger until he was martyred. It is said that Urwa b. Battan al-Tha'labi and Zayd b. Riqad al-Janbi killed him.<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk'', vol. 5, p. 442; Balādhurī, ''Ansāb al-ashrāf'', vol. 3, p. 204; Ibn Athīr, ''al-Kāmil fī l-tārīkh'', vol. 4, p. 79.</ref> | Suwayd was the last person from Imam Hussain's army who went to the battlefield<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk'', vol. 5, p. 446.</ref>.
