Who is 'Saheed ush Shuhdah' ? - 2

Objection Seven: Prophet (s) himself called Hamzah (ra) as 'Saheed ush Shuhdah' while that is not the case with Husayn(as). And Hamzah (ra) fought in Uhud along with Prophet (s) having higher status than Husayn (as)

First of all we would mention that fact that Imam Husayn (as) was not martyred during the life of Holy Prophet (s) then how he could have given this title to Imam Husayn (as) ? And there is no where written that Prophet (s) restricted this title only for Hazrat Hamzah (ra). If the argument is that Prophet (s) called Hamzah (ra) as 'Shaheed ush Shuhdah' therefore no one can attribute this title to anyone else then we should point out that Holy Prophet (s) called Geor Jis 'Shaheed ush Shuhdah' as well. Allamah Jalaluddin Syuti records:

نادى مناد من السماء إن يحيى بن زكريا سيد من ولدت النساء وإن جورجيس سيد الشهداء

"Holy Prophet (s) said that a caller from sky called that Yahya (as) is the leader of all people while Geor Jis is Shaheed ush Shuhdah"

Tafseer Dur e Manthur, Volume 2 page 32

So we came to know that Geo Jis was Shaheed ush Shuhdah during his time, Hamzah (ra) was Shaheed ush Shuhdah during his time but Imam Husayn (as) is the leaders of all martyrs hence he will remain Shaheed ush Shuhdah.

As for the comment that the martyrdom of Hazrat Hamzah (ra) was more superior to the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) due to the fact that Hamzah (ra) fought along with Prophet (s) in battle of Uhud while that is not the case with Imam Husayn(as), we would like to mention that the martyrdom of Hamzah (ra) was no doubt in the service of Islam but Shah Abdul Aziz Dehalvi writes that the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) added certain merits to Holy Prophet(s).

The martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) is in reality the martyrdom of his Muhammad (s) and it completed all the aspects of prophet hood of Prophet(s)"
