Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Captivity Journey The Holy Head between the Hands of Bin Ziad Bin Ziad sat in the ruling castle, and called for the public to come to him. He ordered for the Holy head to be put in front of him, and started looking at it while smiling! He also was hitting its parts with a stick he held in his hands!

The Hussain Convoy’s Confrontation with Bin Ziad The Hashim’s women were taken to the ruling castle while the children of Imam Hussain (Q) were taken to Bin Ziad. Sayyeda Zeinab (O) entered along with them disguised in non attracting clothes, and she sat in one of the corners of the castle. So Bin Ziad said: "who is this lady that went aside with her women?" And he repeated the question about her a second and a third time.

Then some of the ladies said to him: "This is Zeinab the daughter of Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, May Allah’s peace be upon them all" Thus Bin Ziad approached her and said to her: "Thank is to God that he exposed and killed you; and he proved you wrong!" Then Sayyeda Zeinab (O) said: "Thank God who had honored us with his Peace be upon him and his Progeny, and He had purified us from all wrong doing thoroughly.

Indeed, only a dissolute can be exposed, and only an extravagant shall be proved wrong, and both are not us, thank God!" So, Bin Ziad said: "How did you see what God had done to your family?" She (O) said: "I only saw what is good! These are people that God had destined them to be killed, so they emerged to their resting places.

God shall confront you with them and you will discuss and argue, and you will see who will be the loser then, may your mother mourn you, son of Murjana!" This made Bin Ziad angry and flared him up.

Then Amro Bin Hareeth said: "My Prince, she is just a woman, and women are not blamed for what they say, and are not disparaged for their speeches" Bin Ziad said: "God pleased my soul with what he had done to your tyrant and the rebellions of your family!!" So, she (O) cried and said: "Indeed, you killed my elderly, finished my family, cut off my branch, and uprooted my origin, if this pleases you, then you shall be pleased!" Obayd Allah said: "This rhymes!

Indeed your father was a good rhyming poet". So she (O) answered: "What a woman has to do with rhyming?! I have other important things than rhyming to occupy me…".
