Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Captivity Journey The Role of Sayyeda Zeinab (O) in the Continuation of the Message The great Sayyeda Zeinab (O) did not abandon the Hussain message till the end of her life in many places, and one of these places were the Holy Medina, as she had performed her great role towards that tragedy. She used to incite people to avenge Al-Hussain (Q), and to renounce Yazeed Bin Muawiya. She used to make speeches in front of the people with that content.

These speeches had a strong influence on the people to a point that the authority could not tolerate her presence in the Medina anymore. So Omar Bin Saad was informed of that, and he wrote to Yazeed to inform him. The latter wrote back to him that he should separate her from the people.

Then he gave his orders to her to leave the Medina and reside wherever she wants, so she said: "Allah had known what happened to us, the best one of us was killed, and we were driven from town to town like they do with herds, and we were forced to ride on the camels’ backs, So By Allah, I would never leave even if they kill me".

Then Zeinab the daughter of Aqeel said to her: "O cousin, Allah had fulfilled his promise, and he inherited us the earth to live wherever we please, so take it easy and do not worry and Allah will punish the oppressors, So do you want after this high rank to be humiliated, do travel to a safe place…".

Then the Hashim’s ladies gathered around her to soft talk her and tried to comfort her… All this indicates the influence of Sayyeda Zeinab (O) on the society to a degree that made the corrupted gang feels the danger of her presence and they had to expel her from Medina.

When Sayyeda Zeinab (O) had left the Medina of her Grandfather (P), many of the Hashim’s women had left with her along with her sister Sukaina and her cousin Fatima… And that was the path of the victorious procession, and that was the history of the noble Hussain convoy. Thus Bani Harb did not enjoy kingdom after Karbala till God had took away their kingdom, vanished them, and inherited them shame and disgrace till the end of time.

Abdu Al-Malek Bin Marwan had written to Al-Hajjaj Bin Yousef: "Do spare me the blood of Ahlu El-Bait, as I had seen the people of Harb had lost their kingdom when they killed Al-Hussain".
