The heads of the martyrs were severed and carried on spears. The 4
th Imam in chains and the ladies of the Ahlulbayt(a)
, without their veils, were taken as
captives on the backs of unsaddled camels from Karbala to Koofa. Their arms
were tied with ropes behind their necks.

Koofa was the city where Imam Ali(a) had once ruled. When the Ahlulbayt(a) saw the walls of the city, they were reminded
of the time when they had once lived
there as the family of the ruler.

But today, they did not even have veils over
their heads, and they were seated on the
bare back of camels. The children, hungry
and thirsty, were crying. The heads of
the loved ones were on the point of
spears. Imam Sajjad(a), ill and frail,
was in chains.

The people of Koofa,
instead of feeling remorse on the killing
of the son of Prophet(saw), were
celebrating with joy. Those who used to
greet them with respect were now
taunting at them. As they arrived in the bazaar of Koofa, people started throwing bread and dates at them.

Bibi
Kulsoom(sa) gave food back saying “O people of Koofa! don’t you know that
we the family of Prophet are not allowed to accept sadaqah.” Women started to cry. Bibi Kulsoom(sa) continued, “O people of Koofa! Your men
kill us and your women cry for us Allah is
the judge.”

As they neared the palace of
Ibn Ziyad, the Yazeedi army started to
beat the drums. The noise was loud. Bibi Zainab(sa) decided to speak. At
her command, there was a sudden hush. Everything in sight froze. Not only men and women, even animals were quiet.

She started to
speak in the manner of her father. After praising Allah and calling blessings on the
Holy Prophet(saw) and his
offspring, she said :
“O people of Koofa! you've spoiled your hereafter & Allah is displeased with
you,You've killed the leader of Youth of Paradise

One who was your
shelter in wartime, your hope in difficulties, How can you face the Holy Prophet on the day of Judgement? You have made his
Ahlebait captive and killed the male members. Is this the reward of his preaching that you've treated his children in cruelest manner?”

Her words, her manner of speaking,
was like her father Imam Ali(a). The
men and women started to weep when they heard her words. As the sound of weeping grew louder, Umar ibn Saad got
frightened and quickly led the captives to
the palace of Ibn Ziyad.
