(Syeda) Zainab -asws , sister -asws of Al-Husayn -asws entered among their group covered of face, and upon her -asws was her -asws worn-out clothes, and she -asws went and sat down in a corner, and her -asws maids sat around her -asws .
فَقَالَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ مَنْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي انْحَازَتْ فَجَلَسَتْ نَاحِيَةً وَ مَعَهَا نِسَاؤُهَا فَلَمْ تُجِبْهُ زَيْنَبُ فَأَعَادَ الْقَوْلَ ثَانِيَةً وَ ثَالِثَةً يَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ بَعْضُ إِمَائِهَا هَذِهِ- زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص Ibn Ziyad -la said, ‘Who is this who has separated and sat down in a corner and with her -asws women?’ But (Syeda) Zainab -asws did not answer him -la . He -la repeated the words secondly, and thirdly asking about her -asws .
One of her -asws maids said to him -la , ‘This is (Syeda) Zainab -asws , daughter -asws of (Syeda) Fatima -asws daughter -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ’.
فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا ابْنُ زِيَادٍ وَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي فَضَحَكُمْ وَ قَتَلَكُمْ وَ أَكْذَبَ أُحْدُوثَتَكُمْ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِنَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ طَهَّرَنَا مِنَ الرِّجْسِ تَطْهِيراً إِنَّمَا يَفْتَضِحُ الْفَاسِقُ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ So Ibn Ziyad -la turned towards her -asws and said, ‘The Praise is for Allah -azwj who Shamed you ‑asws all and Killed you and Belied your -asws narrations!’ (Syeda) Zainab -asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah -azwj Who Honoured us -asws with His -azwj Prophet -saww Muhammad -saww and Purified us -asws from the uncleanness with a Purification.
But rather, the mischief-maker has been Shamed!’ – up the end of what has passed. وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ وَ ابْنُ نَمَا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا فَقِيلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَدْ كَانَ لِي أَخٌ يُسَمَّى عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ قَتَلَهُ النَّاسُ And the Seyyid and Ibn Nama said, ‘Then Ibn Ziyad -la turned towards Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws .
He -la said, ‘Who is this?’ It was said, ‘This is Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws ’. He -la said, ‘Hasn’t Allah ‑azwj Killed Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws ?’ Ali -asws said: ‘There was a brother -asws for me -asws named as Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws . The people killed him -asws ’.
