On the day of Ashura
Suwayd was the last person from Husayn ibn Ali's army who went to the battlefield. He fought bravely against Yazid's army until he was severely injured and fell down among other martyrs, where he was left for dead. However, Suwayd was still alive, and at some point heard people say that Husayn had been killed. With great effort, he got back on his feet and continued to fight until he was martyred. It is said that Urwa ibn Battan al-Tha'labi and Zayd ibn Riqad al-Janbi killed him.
