(Lady of Patience)
Imagine! When you read this text, imagine it! The content of this text is related to the events of a woman's life that if any of us had experienced it, I do not think we could have endured them.
Zainab was a five-year-old girl when the Holy Prophet passed away. She was at an age when she understood the absence of her noble ancestor. The mourning of his mother, Ms. Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH), sat down.
Zeinab was about thirty-five years old when her father's hot turn came. Ali (AS) was exhausted from a blow inflicted by Ibn Muljam's poisoned sword and was brought home on his shoulder. Zainab, seeing her father, threw herself on him and washed his wound with tears in his eyes.
After the martyrdom of his father, it was the turn of his brother Imam Hassan (AS), she was a forty-five year old lady who saw how those cowards betrayed their Imam, looted his tent and dragged the martyr under his feet. One took his robe and the other injured his leg, he was forced to leave the work to Mu'awiyah. When her brother was injured, Zeinab took care of him until he recovered. He thought that because his brother had left the work to Mu'awiyah, his life would be saved, but with the conspiracy and trickery of Mu'awiyah and the poison of Jada, they poisoned the Imam while he was fasting that day, during Iftar, and martyred him.
Tasua and Ashura of the year 50 AH Zeinab in Karbala witnessed all the events.
- Zainab (PBUH) saw with her own eyes how children call her out of thirst.
-she witnessed the martyrdom of his children Muhammad and Aoun with his own eyes. On the day of Ashura, Zainab put new clothes on the bodies of Aoun and Muhammad and wiped them of dust and rubbed kohl on their eyes and gave them a sword and prepared them. Made a testimony.
- In the tragedy of Hazrat Abbas (AS), he put his hand on his troubled heart and shouted: Oh my brother, oh that your companions were few.
The tragedy of all the companions of the Imam who were martyred one by one and added sorrow to Zainab, And most of the moment when his nephew Ali Akbar was martyred and the attacker mercilessly threw an arrow at the throat of Ali Asghar is six months old and martyred him in the hands of Imam Hussein (AS) with a thirsty tongue. Imam Hussein came to the tent to say goodbye and met with Imam Sajjad and his sister Zainab and others and handed them over to God and God bless him. As soon as he walked a few steps towards the square, he heard a sad voice that said: Do not take me, I want to see you for the last time. It was in the last moments that they attacked Hussein (AS) from all sides, it was raining arrows and sword blows, Hussein (AS) was lonely and strange and a great enemy, the spear that hit Hussein on the shoulder threw him to the ground, Zainab (sa) was the observer of this scene. Hussein was killed and beheaded. After the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) by the order of Umar Ibn Sa'd, ten people were sent to attack the holy body of Imam Hussein (AS). They did this and beat the bones of the chest of Imam Hussein. The order to move was issued by Ibn Sa'd, Zainab began to cry and looked at the slaughterhouse and by the Al-Qalma creek and said: "My brothers! where are you? "Why don't you ride your loved ones and children?" Then he mounted them himself. Imam Sajjad (AS) left for Kufa with restlessness while his legs were also tied, and Zainab, although she herself was a prisoner, was insulted, but she rushed to the aid of everyone with all her might, giving birth to orphans and children. He rode the fallen ink. He protected himself against the whips of the cowards.After returning the captives to the streets and Kufa markets, they then appeared in Ibn Ziad's Parliament and observed an inappropriate scene, because the beheaded Imam Hussein (AS) was standing in front of Obaidullah and whipping him on the lips and teeth of the Imam. Ibn Ziad turned to Zainab and said: How did you see God's work with your brother and his family? Zainab said:I saw nothing but goodness, beauty and merit from God! These were the people for whom God had decreed martyrdom, and they rushed to their eternal abode and rested in it, and God will judge between you and them on the Day of Resurrection, and will ask you for blood, and on that day you will see who is victorious?.
Hazrat Zainab was merciful to the pains of the three-year-old daughter of Imam Hussein (AS), but her daughter could not bear it and was martyred after enduring torture. Finally, after enduring physical and mental calamities and injuries, he was buried in Damascus in 62 AH at the age of 57.
