He was [1] Jassas = Mason [2] Abdullah bin Nurullah, Awalim 17/372-373 crying in a feeble voice: “They are wailing and lamenting for us, then who has killed us?” [1] A Kufan lady stepped forward and asked the hostages: “What prisoners are you?” “We are prisoners from Ahle Bayt (‘a).” When the lady heard this, she screamed and women also began to cry with her. Their wails echoed in Kufa.

One of the women collected whatever head scarves and coverings that she could find in her house and presented them to the Alawite ladies that they may cover themselves in presence of males. [2] Another lady brought food and date fruits and gave it all to the young children who were suffering from extreme hunger.

Her Eminence, Umme Kulthum called out from the rear of the caravan: “Sadaqah (alms) is not lawful for us, Ahle Bayt.” When the children heard the call of that lady each of them threw away whatever he or she held in the hand or in the mouth and told their neighbor, “Our aunt says: Sadaqah is unlawful for us, Ahle Bayt.” Sermon of Her Eminence, Zainab (‘a) When Her Eminence, Zainab (‘a), granddaughter of His Eminence, the Holy Prophet (s) and sister of the Holy Imam saw the huge crowd that had filled up the roads and lanes of Kufa she began to address them in order to inform them about the reality behind their circumstances and tell them about the great tragedy that had befallen on Ahle Bayt, and to put the responsibility of this evil deed on the Kufians who had broken the pledge, disregarded the covenant and killed the beloved grandson of the Messenger of Allah (s).

Now that after the martyrdom of His Eminence they were lamenting and wailing as if they had not committed this heinous deed. The text of Her Eminence’s sermon is as follows: “Praise be to Allah and divine blessings be on my father Muhammad and his good and exemplary descendants. O people of Kufa, O you who are deceitful and treacherous: [3] Do you shed tears? May your tears never dry up and your loud lamentations never cease.

[4] You are like the woman that unravels to bits the thread which she has firmly spun. Your faith is nothing but deceit and betrayal. Are there any among you but the immodest, disgraced, proud, spiteful, adulator, enemy and reviler? There are among you those who are as guileful as a beautiful plant growing in filth, or the silver on a grave. Certainly evil is that which your souls have sent before for you. Allah is displeased with you and in punishment shall you abide.
