They sent the criminals and leaders of kufr off to
Hellfire. He also sought to avenge the honor of
the sisters imprisoned by the tyrannical crusader
Copts in Egypt, and thus the attack against the
“Our Lady of Salvation” Church was executed.1
The Rāfidah then called for help from their
crusader masters who mobilized whatever
they could to get hold of this heroic lion. They
provided all information about this unique man
and his aids, most prominent of them being the
brave knight, the military leader of Baghdad, Abū
Khawlah. Hudhayfah al-Battāwī used to call him
his closest friend due to his strong love for him
until they were killed together in the prison.
Hudhayfah (rahimahullāh) was steadfast like
anchored mountains while in the Rāfidah’s
“Counter-Terrorism” prison. When the Rāfidī
enemy of Allah, Nouri al-Maliki, met him and told
him that he would soon be executed by hanging,
he replied to him that he wasn’t concerned and
that life and death were only in Allah’s hands and
not in his.

Then he and the brothers with him began
coordinating from inside the prison with the
brothers outside. They provided them with
two pistols, TNT explosives, and detonators.
The smuggling method was clever and their
surveillance apparatuses and security procedures
were unable to uncover it. The agreement was
that the attack on the prison would begin from

the outside at the very moment of the attack by
the Wālī Hudhayfah and his brothers inside the
prison against the apostates.
Thus approached zero hour, but the attack did
not occur in the morning as planned because the
appointment changed due to the apostate warden
coming to them at night to take them out for
interrogation. So Hudhayfah took care of killing
him. Then he went to the director of “CounterTerrorism,” the enemy of Allah, Mu’ayyad asSālih. He executed him and retaliated for the
Muslims. Likewise, the brother Abū Khawlah,
military leader of Baghdad, and the rest of his
brothers clashed with the apostates and they killed
everyone in the prison in which the mujāhidīn
were tortured and had experienced that which
only Allah knows of.
They rode the apostates’ car from the prison
building and arrived at the Interior Ministry’s
gateway. They then clashed with the apostates. The
crusaders stepped in, striking them with Apache
helicopters. However, the brothers persisted with
their combat until they were all killed while facing
the enemy not retreating. They were ten from
the best of knights, led by our knight, the Wālī
Hudhayfah al-Battāwī.
He (rahimahullāh) was eager to achieve shahādah,
so he got what he was yearning for, not dying until
he made the apostates cry, debilitated them with
wounds, and made them taste death and sadness
that kindled in them the pain of defeat and
failure. He (rahimahullāh) was already married
for some time before his killing, and at the time
of his arrest, he was bestowed with a child. He
(rahimahullāh) was killed and never met his son.
The worldly life, its pleasures, and adornments did
not succeed in tempting him even for a single day.
Every Muslim should raise his head out of pride
for these men, with glory and honor, in the face
of the people of falsehood. We ask Allah (ta’ālā)
not to deprive us of His reward, nor to make us
succumb to tribulations, and to generously bestow
upon him as well as his brothers the reward and
high rank in Jannah.
