Sayyida Zaynab
Day 4
The lesson
- In Ibn Ziyad's palace in Kufa, when he taunted her, 'How did you see what God did to your brother?', she answered: I have seen nothing but beauty (al-Luhuf; Bihar al-Anwar 45:116). This was in Kufa, not in Damascus.
- Her sermon in the market of Kufa and her sermon in the court of Yazid in Damascus turned the people against the killers of al-Husayn.
- She passed away on 15 Rajab, 62 AH. Her shrine stands in Zaynabiyya, south of Damascus (the Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque), visited by millions of pilgrims.
