After the demise of Abu Talib (a.

After the demise of Abu Talib (a.s.), the enemies of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) agreed on assassinating him, but Allah (s.w.t.) saved and ordered him to flee to Yathrib and let his cousin, Ali (a.s.) sleep in his bed for making the assassinators understand that he was still there. From this great personality, Lady Zaynab (a.s.) drew the best lessons of defending the principles. Lady Zaynab(a.s.)’sgrandmother was Fatimah bint Asad (a.s.); an example of faith and purity.

On her hands, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was brought up and treated so kindly and tenderly since she used to take care of him rather than her sons and bestow upon him with all colors of sympathy and love. Hence, she was highly respected by him; when she departed life, he (s.a.w.a.) dressed her his own shirt and laid down in her grave as expressions of his great love for her.

From this great mother, Lady Zaynab (a.s.) learnt the best lessons of love and support for sake of her religion and its legal leaders. We, also, should not neglect the fact that Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) and Imam al-Husain (a.s.) participated in composing the unparalleled personality of their sister Lady Zaynab (a.s.) since she spent a long term of her life under their custody. The two Imams’ merits and virtues are too many to be contained.

As a result, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) called them ‘Chiefs of the Youth of Paradise.’[^39] Lady Zaynab (a.s.) imitated the morals and ethics of Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) who was known of his composure and liberality in addition to all the high moral standards. As he noticed that his grandfather and parents take care of Zaynab (a.s.) Imam al-Hasan (a.s.) encompassed her with very much love and compassion and preferred her to the other harem of the Prophet’s Household.

Imam al Husain’s (a.s.) relation with his sister Zaynab (a.s.) has been the melody of seekers of human perfection. She could occupy his feelings and emotions for the genuineness of her estimation, elevation of her ethics, and high moral standards. She was the most dependable in the sight of Imam al-Husain (a.s.) who used to take counsel with her in all of his affairs. She also accompanied him in all the stages of his revolution.

Without Lady Zaynab(a.s.)’sstruggle, efforts and honorable situations, the revolution of Imam al-Husain (a.s.) would have been lost.
