Battle of Karbala
Despite his age, Habib was given command of the left flank of Husayn's army, which was divided into three sections: the left flank, the right flank, and the center.[2] His tomb is located within the Imam Husayn Shrine in the southern porch.[3][4][5]
According to history, Habib fought and killed 62 enemy soldiers before being attacked by Budayl b. Maryam 'Aqfani, who struck him on the head with a sword. Another enemy then hit him with a spear, causing him to fall from his horse, after which Budayl b. Maryam beheaded him.[6]
