Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Captivity Journey The Speech of Sayyeda Zeinab (O)19 It is the documented script of Mohammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain, which took its place along the speech of the beloved Mustafa on the Ghadir Day, the speech of her mother the Great Siddiqa, the Martyr, in the Prophet’s mosque, and the speech of her father that is known by the name "Al-Shaqshaqiyya" in a way for all these speeches to form the most prominent proofs for whoever had a heart and paid attention while witnessing this.

Thus she (O) delivered this speech after Yazeed had recited the verses of Al-Zubary poem: "O Yazeed, God and his Messenger had said the truth (Then it was the worst ramification for those who have done evil; for that they rejected the signs of Allah, and used to ridicule it)20 . O Yazeed, did you think, since we are overpowered on that side of earth and under the fringes of the sky till we were treated the way the captives are treated, that God does not care for us while He cares for you?!!

And that is due to your superiority, so you lifted your nose and looked upon your shoulder (sign of acting arrogance), cheerful and happy when you viewed this life as it belongs to you, and things are going your way, indeed your punishment just being delayed and put off and that is clear from the words of Allah the Exalted, the Almighty: (Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for themselves: We grant them respite that they may grow in their iniquity: but they will have a shameful punishment)21 .

Is it fair, O son of the freedmen, that you dignify your ladies and slaves while the daughters of the Messenger of Allah (P) were brought to you, after you had exposed them, caused their voices to be husky due to their grief, you made them ride on weak camels, their enemies were yelling at them while taking them from one country to another, they were not cared for or sheltered. Everyone, near or far, was staring at them, they did not have any of their men to protect them.

And how is it possible for someone to ask us not to hate him while he is looking at us with hatred, antagonism, implacability, and resentment, do you say: "I wish that my grandparents from Bader had witnessed…" without feeling guilty or sorry while batting the lips of Abu Abdu Allah in your parlor?
