Advice here, in these two contexts, means to guide those who need to be guided. Abu Al-Fadhl Al-Abbas (PBUH) did that in more than one situation in the battle of Al-Taf. He offered advice to the wicked ones to allow the family of the prophet (PBUH&HF) to have water. He also advised the wicked one not to fight the prophet’s (PBUH&HF) grandson. This is the meaning of the word “advice” in these two contexts of the visitation text, for it shows Al-Abbas’s (PBUH) attitudes on the day of Ashura. The difference between the two contexts is that the first one uses the word “advice” in its linguistic meaning while the second one uses it in the way that we have aforementioned. In this attitude, Abu Alfadhl Al-Abbas used all his power devotedly to the extent that his advice reached to the rational levels in terms of way and quantity with the devoted advisor’s efforts. Allah knows best.
