azise:

AsSalamu Alaykum Ya Zainab Al-Kubra

Oh honoured Granddaughter of Rasulullah

Oh brave Daughter of Fatimah and Ali

Oh courages Sister of Hussain 

Protecter of the orphaned and widowed

Ya Saebra, the patient one whom Allah is pleased with.

“It is beyond the power of ordinary mortals to pen the merits and virtues of Bibi Zainab (as), whose praise requires a tongue as eloquent as that of the Holy Qur’an or as fluently expressive as that of Prophet Muahammad (sawa) and his Infallible progeny.”

Ibn Zyad, who never expected to be talking to such a knowledgeable and courageous woman, changed the subject and said:

 “How did you find the way Allah treated your brother and your family?”

 Lady Zainab (A), with a tone full of pride and power, indicating her faith and submission towards Allah  answered:

 “I saw nothing but beauty. They rushed towards their graves (with honor).”
