Husna Aden died rushing to her wheelchair-bound husband to serve him

Evidence

Husna was afraid, but she was more afraid for Farid, who sat yards away, toward the front of the prayer hall. She knew that he was vulnerable, bound to that wheelchair that required her arms and legs. … She picked herself up off the green rug now stained with red and raced toward the men’s section of the hall. She ran past slain men and women and children to her wheelchair-bound husband, using her legs to serve him like when she left him at the mosque entrance. … Husna ran and the gunman aimed. Both pointing directly at Farid, waiting there, as he always did, for his wife. His love, his legs. Husna, as she had done earlier that morning and every Friday before it, returned to her husband one final time. — Khaled A. Beydoun, The New Crusades_ Islamophobia and the…, 874
