Hazarat Muslim bin Aqil bin Abi Talib (RA) was Imam al-Husayn's (a) cousin and one of his companions in his uprising against Yazid b. Mu'awiya. He was martyred about one month before the Day of 'Ashura in Kufa. Before the start of Imam al-Husayn's (a) journey to Kufa, Muslim went to Kufa as the Imam's (a) representative in order to evaluate the situation there and provide a report for the Imam (a) on whether people of Kufa were truthful and insistent in their invitations of the Imam (a). He wrote a report about 27 nights prior to his martyrdom to the Imam (a) and confirmed that people of Kufa were prepared. When 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad was appointed as the ruler of Kufa, people of Kufa who were afraid of Ibn Ziyad suddenly left Muslim alone, and he was finally martyred on the Day of 'Arafa (60/680).
Details of the Elegy

In the elegy of Muslim, the rawdakhwan points to the story of Muslim being sent to Kufa by Imam al-Husayn (a) and the allegiance pledged by the people of Kufa to him as the representative of the Imam (a). The rawdakhwan moanfully recites the story of Muslim's loneliness and his wandering in the alleys of Kufa, and that he finally ended up in the house of a lady called "Taw'a". In these meetings, Muslim is usually mentioned as the first martyr of the Battle of Karbala. Thus, the first night of Muharram is devoted to his elegy, although the elegy is also recited on the eve, and the day, of 'Arafa which is the anniversary of his martyrdom.

We pray to Allah Almighty to give forgiveness all shuda of Karbala, and punshed them who did wrong Ameen Allah hafiz
