John bin Huwai was a Christian that was martyred on Muharram 10, 60 AH at the Battle of Karbala alongside Imam Hussain ibn Ali.

John remembered the day when Imam Hussain climbed on the Prophet’s back while he was praying. The Holy Prophet stayed in prostration till Hussain (a) came off his back. The Holy Prophet did not want to hurt his beloved grandson.

John's eyes were full of tears as he reached the battlefield.

He spoke to the soldiers on the other side: “Look at me! You have seen me with the Holy Prophet. Remember the Holy Prophet by looking at me. You say the Holy Prophet is the messenger of Allah. You call yourselves Muslims. Do you think the Holy Prophet will be pleased with you for killing his beloved grandson?”

He continued: “What has Hussain done to you? He is innocent. Leave him alone. Save yourselves from the Fire of Hell.”

John was attacked. Arrows were fired from all directions. John fought bravely. Alas, how much can an eighty year old man take, thirsty and hungry for three days?

As he fell from his horse, he cried out:
“My Master! Come to see me! Let me see you for the last time.”
