جواب السيدة زينب لابن زياد
1
مَا رَأَيْتُ إِلَّا جَمِيلًا، هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلَ فَبَرَزُوا إِلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ، وَسَيَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتُحَاجُّ وَتُخَاصَمُ، فَانْظُرْ لِمَنِ الْفَلْجُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْجَانَةَ
I have seen nothing but beauty. These are people for whom God decreed death, so they went forth to their resting places. And God will bring you and them together, and you will be argued against and contended with. So see who will prevail on that day. May your mother lose you, O son of Marjana!
