Sayeda Zaynab (as) says Ya Muhammadah

Zaynab (as) daughter of Imam Ali (as) and Fatima az-Zahraa (as) call out " Ya Muhammadah"



Ibn Kathir, a well know salafi scholar records in his famous "al-Bidayah wal Nihayah" Volume 3 page 590. Beruit print, Lebanon, Dar al-Ma'rifa:


"As for the remaining women and children (of AhlulBayt), Omar ibn Sa'd had ordered someone to protect them, then they were put on camels and paraded past the dead bodies and the battle field, they then say Husain and his companions laying there, the woman began to cry for him, and they began to wail and lament. Zaynab began to mourn her brother and his family, and she cried with tears in her eyes: "Ya(oh) Muhammad! Ya(oh) Muhammad!may God and the angels of the heavens bless you, this is your Husain naked in the desert, covered with blood, his limbs have been severed Ya(oh) Muhammad!and your daughters have been made prisoners and your progeny has been massacred" He said " By Allah, everyone began to weep,including all friends and enemies"
