[7] It is mentioned by Abdulmajid, son of Mohammed Ridha al-Shirazi, in his book Dhakhirat Al-Darayn, that Muhammad Al-Awsat attended the Battle of Karbala and fought in front of Al-Husayn until he was martyred.

It is mostly unknown as to how Muhammad Al-Awsat's influence reached Aran o Bigdol, but below is a summary of Mulla Gholamreza Arani's manuscript: Hilal was born on 1 Ramadan, 14 AH (18 October 636 CE).

The governor of Khorasan, Qays ibn Murrah, feared an uprising against his rule, sent a strong army to fight followers of Hilal.

It is said that he wrote shortly before his death of a dream, in which his grandfather Muhammad, his father Ali, and his half-brother Al-Husayn, were waiting for him to join them.

Then after his death, Ya'qub and his sons gave him a ritual bath, and buried his body, where a shrine now stands, acting as a place of refuge for friends and followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (members of the Household (of Muhammad)).
