Why did he kill him? Sorry, i'm unfamiliar with this story?
After wining a war against Baluchistan (Toran Previously). Rustam who was the leader of the Iranian army got married to a girl from the “Afrasiyab” family. She got pregnant and Rustam had to get back to Iran for another battle … He gave one of his bracelets to his wife and told her if it’s a boy give him the bracelet and tell him to wear it around his arm so I recognized him when I meet him
Then there was a conflict between Iran and Toran … and each of them was the leader of their native army…
When the two confronted each other without knowing their relationship … Sohram asked him are you Rustam ? Rustam said: NO … cause he was afraid that this young well built and huge warrior might kill him and the Legend of Rustam ends … and people loose the fear they had from Rustam … so he said he wasn’t so that if he gets defeated Rustam’s name woud still be as undefeated in history
Sohrab’s mom told him the distinguished marks of his father and he was known for his two headed beard … so Sohrab doubted that this guy is his father cause he saw a lot of resemblance of what his mother had told him … he asked him several times but Rustam insisted that he wasn’t Rustam.
at the first battle Sohrab knocked Rustam down … then Rustam told him where I come from the winner is announced after three battles … of course he was bluffing … In the 2nd battle Rustam knocked Sohrab down and stabbed him in his stomach and cut through his guts … Sohrab said: pitty I died and I didn’t see my father Rustam … and in anther tales … he said when my father finds out he will take my revenge and kill you … so Rustam asked him who is your father … he said Rustam … Rustam said you are not Rustam’s son … what proof do you have … so Sohrab bared his arm and shows him the bracelet … Rustam fell on his knees and held his two headed beard with both of his hands in oppress
Sohrab’s mom told him the distinguished marks of his father and he was known for his two headed beard … so Sohrab doubted that this guy is his father cause he saw a lot of resemblance of what his mother had told him … but Rustam insisted that he wasn’t Rustam.
The Medic couldn’t reach the scene with the medicine in time … and he died …
There is a saying in the Persian community that: the medicine after Sohrab’s death … the saying is used when “ it’s too late”
