[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.

He reported his dream on the following day to his companions, Ya'qub and his son, and announced that he would be their guest in the evening, before dying in the night.

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)).
