So, if you -la are determined upon killing him -asws , then kill me -asws along with him -asws !’ وَ قَالَ الْمُفِيدُ وَ ابْنُ نَمَا فَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ زَيْنَبُ عَمَّتُهُ وَ قَالَتْ يَا ابْنَ زِيَادٍ حَسْبُكَ مِنْ دِمَائِنَا وَ اعْتَنَقَتْهُ وَ قَالَتْ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُفَارِقُهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَاقْتُلْنِي مَعَهُ‏ Al-Mufeed and Ibn Nama said, ‘His -asws aunt Zainab -asws clung with him -asws and said, ‘O Ibn Ziyad -la !

It suffices you -la from our -asws blood!’, and she -asws hugged him -asws and said: ‘I -asws will not separate from him -asws . So, if you -la are killing him -asws , then kill me -asws along with him -asws !’ فَنَظَرَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ إِلَيْهَا وَ إِلَيْهِ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ عَجَباً لِلرَّحِمِ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهَا وَدَّتْ أَنِّي قَتَلْتُهَا مَعَهُ‏ دَعُوهُ فَإِنِّي أَرَاهُ لِمَا بِهِ Ibn Ziyad -la looked at her -asws and to him -asws for a while, then said, ‘Strange of the kinship!

Leave him ‑asws , for I -la can see what (illness) he -asws is with!’’ وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِعَمَّتِهِ اسْكُتِي يَا عَمَّةِ حَتَّى أُكَلِّمَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ ع فَقَالَ أَ بِالْقَتْلِ تُهَدِّدُنِي يَا ابْنَ زِيَادٍ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْقَتْلَ لَنَا عَادَةٌ وَ كَرَامَتَنَا الشَّهَادَةُ And the Seyyid said, ‘Ali -asws said to his -asws aunt: ‘Calm down O aunt, until I -asws speak to him ‑la ’.

Don’t you -la known that being killed is the norm for us -asws , and the martyrdom is our -asws honour?’ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ أَهْلِهِ فَحُمِلُوا إِلَى دَارٍ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ عَلِيٍّ- لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْنَا عَرَبِيَّةٌ إِلَّا أُمُّ وَلَدٍ أَوْ مَمْلُوكَةٌ فَإِنَّهُنَّ سُبِينَ وَ قَدْ سُبِينَا Then Ibn Ziyad -la ordered with Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws and his -asws family members, so they ‑asws were carried to a house by the side of the grand Masjid.
