Bibi Ummul Banin -asws once went for ziaraat of Imam Hussain -asws ’s and Mola Abbas -asws ’s shrines. When she -asws entered her son’s shrine, she -asws became unconscious and fell on the ground within the shrine. Today, there is a door named “Bab-e-Ummul Banin -asws ” at that place in Mola Abbas’s -asws shrine, which leads to the actual grave of Mola Abbas -asws . Bibi Ummul-Banin -asws became very weak after martyrdom of Imam Hussain -asws and used to cry and lament all the time.

Till she lived, she used to call out the name of each and each martyr of Karbala and recited Nohas for them. After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain -asws, five virtuous Ladies never sat in shade. Bibi Zainab -asws , Bibi Ummul Banin -asws , Bibi Umm-e-Farwa, Bibi Umm-e-Rubab -asws , and Bibi Umm-e-Laila -asws , always sat and wailed under the sun during the day and under the night mist till they demised. Bibi Ummul Banin asws demised on 13 th Jamadi-us-Sani 64 A.H. on Friday.

Bibi asws lived exactly three years, five months and three days after the Karbala tragedy. Bibi Ummul-Banin asws is buried in Jannat al-Baqi (shown on left). There were many shrines of holy personalities but Wednesday, in the year 1345 AH (April 21, 1925), mausoleums in Jannatul al-Baqi (Madina) were demolished by King Ibn Saud -l.a .

In the same year (1925), he also demolished the tombs of holy personages at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet (s)’s Mother -asws , Wife -asws , Grandfather -asws and other ancestors are buried. Below is translation of one of Bibi -asws marsia, which she used to recite. “I lament knowing my brave lion was stricken by arrows and spears O Abbas If only you had a sword in your hand, no oppressor could approach you O people!
