[6:05]Uh tonight, the topic will be about Seanab leading the post ashua

[6:09]revolution.

[6:10]Um, it's my honor to welcome Hassan Kazwini with three loud salawats.

[6:15]Allah Muhammad Ali Muhammad Thank you.

[6:45]Thank you so much.

[7:02]My dear brothers and sisters, there are two images drawn for Zam

[7:18]in the Shi psyche.

[7:23]One image that describes Say Zanab as a depressed and a broken

[7:36]lady who was overwhelmed with the tragedy of Ashurah and by the

[7:44]death of her brothers, sons and nephews and cousins.

[7:54]a lady who was agonizing the whole time and basically lamenting the

[8:08]death and the martyrdom of her relatives in Kbala the whole time.

[8:15]But there is another image of Seda Zanab which I think is

[8:24]more accurate and that is the image of a Seda Zanab that

[8:29]is defiant, ferocious and resilient and never broken.

[8:40]Never broken.

[8:44]And I would like to examine that image of say zanab tonight

[8:52]and focus on that image.

[8:55]First who say zab zab is the daughter of and fatimat is

[9:13]zah.

[9:10]And if we believe in the law of heredity and genetics, there

[9:19]is no doubt that Zanab was a strong woman, someone who was

[9:29]fathered by Ali Abi, the most courageous man in the Arabian Peninsula

[9:36]and Fatim Zah, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad.

[9:40]Sallallahu alaihi wasallam who defied the rulers of her time.

[9:51]Would be there any doubt remaining that Zanab was a powerful and

[9:59]a courageous woman.

[10:01]someone who was fathered by a man who says, "Wallah, I swear

[10:09]by Allah, if all Arabs gather to fight me, I will not

[10:18]shy away from fighting them back.

[10:26]She is the daughter of a woman who stood in the mazjid

[10:33]of her father in Medina defying the tyrant of the time with

[10:41]her eloquent speech.

[10:42]So Zanab is undoubtly undoubtly was a powerful, courageous and audacious woman

[10:56]and history proves that the post ashura event proves that Zab was

[11:07]not was a unique woman and that's why Imam Hussein chose her

[11:14]from among other women to lead the revolution of Ashur after his

[11:22]martyrdom.

[11:20]Well, we all know Imam Hussein was martyed in the day of

[11:26]Ashur and he knew that Imam Hussein he knew he will be

[11:28]killed in the day of Ashur.

[11:31]He had foreseen that.

[11:34]In fact, in the speech he gave the eve of the night

[11:36]before, he told his companions, "It is dark outside.

[11:47]Take advantage of the dark and leave and leave me alone because

[11:55]this army of Yazid came to fight me, not you.

[11:59]Let the if they catch me, they will not go after you.

[12:07]So I offer you the opportunity to leave and leave me alone.

[12:12]I will be killed.

[12:14]But they chose to stay with him.

[12:19]Imam Husseini knew he will be killed in the day of Ashur.

[12:22]But he also knew that his revolution will not end there.

[12:26]The revolution he started will continue and he was about choosing a

[12:34]leader who can continue leading the revolution after him.

[12:41]His son Imam Z Abedin was extremely sick and that's why he

[12:46]could not participate in the war in the battle.

[12:49]So the one who was well equipped well fit to lead the

[12:59]revolution after Imam Hussein was Zam.

[13:00]And historians say that the night before Ashur the eve of Ashurikh

[13:05]Mu in his book in one of his books says Imam Hussein

[13:12]had a private meeting with Seda Zanab the eve of Ashur in

[13:18]which he delivered all the instructions she needed to lead the revolution

[13:24]after his martyrdom.

[13:25]Basically he was mentoring her and Imam Hussein was very smart in

[13:32]choosing Syd Zab because basically she fits the description of the leader

[13:42]who was capable of leading the the revolution after his martyrdom.

[13:48]She was a smart she was courageous.

[13:53]She was patient and she was resilient and she was visionary.

[14:02]That's what I imam Hussein was looking for.

[14:05]Someone who fits the description of a leader who would lead the

[14:13]post ashur revolution and zab was there.

[14:17]Imam Hussein.

[14:23]Salam basically had a three objectives for Zab to fulfill after his

[14:32]martyrdom.

[14:30]The first objective foreseen by Imam Hussein.

[14:41]Salam for Zanab to play and to fulfill was to supervise over

[14:45]the camp of Imam Hussein.

[14:47]When Imam Hussein was killed, he left behind 83 women and children,

[14:56]all widows and all orphans.

[14:58]Remember, all men were killed.

[14:59]All men were killed in the day of Ash with the ex

[15:05]exception of Imam Zad because he was extremely sick.

[15:09]So the imam handed the task of protecting his family all women

[15:21]and children left behind after Imam Hussein's martyrdom especially protecting the life

[15:31]of Imam Z Abadin.

[15:32]Remember Imam Zul Abin was not an ordinary person.

[15:39]He was no ordinary individual.

[15:41]He is the imam.

[15:42]Not only he is the imam, the third im of he was

[15:51]also the continuation of the offspring of the prophet.

[15:56]The lineage of the prophet goes through Im Zed.

[16:01]Had he been killed in the day of Ashur or after Ash

[16:07]that meant the offspring of the prophet would be cut off.

[16:12]There is no lineage continuing for the prophet.

[16:15]Imam Zed the was the one who carried the lineage of the

[16:23]prophet in the community by getting married afterward and having children and

[16:31]grandchildren.

[16:29]Im Muhammad Bakr and imaff and on and on.

[16:35]So protecting the life of Imam Zed was a priority for Imam

[16:42]Hussein and for Sed Z and she did manage well to protect

[16:51]him.

[16:47]Im Zed was almost killed twice.

[16:52]Once in the day of Ashur after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein

[16:58]when the soldiers of Yazid broke into the tent of Imam Z

[17:06]Abdin searching for any remaining male member and they found Imam Z

[17:14]Abin Shimmer the murderer of Imam Hussein he ordered the soldiers to

[17:22]kill immedi Say Zan interfered over immed telling Yazid, "You will not

[17:30]zed before killing me over my dead body." When the commander of

[17:39]Yazid's army saw that Omar, he told Shimmer to back down.

[17:47]He says, "Leave her.

[17:47]Leave him alone.

[17:49]That was the first time she saved literally saved the life of

[17:55]Imam Zed.

[17:54]The second time when they all moved to Kufa and they entered

[18:01]the chamber of Iben Ziad, the regional governor of Iraq on behalf

[18:05]of Yazid.

[18:06]Iben Ziad was a very vicious person, very vicious and a brutal.

[18:11]When he saw Imam Zin for the first time, he basically scolded

[18:19]his soldiers.

[18:18]Why did you leave this man?

[18:19]Why didn't you kill him?

[18:24]And he ordered them to go and kill him.

[18:28]He had clear instructions from Yazid not to leave any male member

[18:35]of the family of Imam Hussein alive.

[18:40]None.

[18:40]And you know why?

[18:44]You know why?

[18:44]Because to Yazid, any male member of the family of Hussein is

[18:50]a replica of who?

[18:53]Of Hussein.

[18:54]And Hussein is a replica of the prophet.

[18:56]He will be a threat.

[18:57]Once he grows up, he will be a threat to Yazid and

[19:04]his rule.

[19:03]So Yazid gave clear instructions to don't leave any male member living

[19:16]surviving after the death of Hussein.

[19:21]So when he ordered to kill Imam Zel Abedin say Zanab interfered.

[19:28]And I'm going to go back to that incident soon.

[19:34]That was her first and a primary role after the martyrdom of

[19:38]Imam Hussein Alisam to basically protect the family, the remaining widows and

[19:46]children and particularly Imam Z and she succeeded by far she succeeded

[19:53]in doing that.

[19:52]She would make sure that all widows are protected, are watched over,

[20:02]all orphans are cared for, and she would not leave Carbala or

[20:07]any other spot they uh uh they stayed at before making sure

[20:13]that everybody is taken care of.

[20:16]That was the primary goal.

[20:19]The second objective Imm Hussein has foreseen for say Zab was to

[20:26]spread the story of Ashur and to raise public awareness.

[20:31]Remember everybody was killed.

[20:35]All male members were killed in Kbala.

[20:40]Imam Hussein, Abul Abbas, Alil Akbar and 70 other companions.

[20:44]Who would disseminate the message of Imam Hussein?

[20:50]the reality of Karbala to people who would tell the masses in

[20:54]the Muslim world on what happened in Karbala say Zena.

[21:00]So she would take advantage of every opportunity she had to raise

[21:06]awareness to basically let people know what happened exactly in Karbala when

[21:16]they entered Kufa as war captives.

[21:19]All people in Kufa came to watch them.

[21:24]Many people came to watch them as uh motivated by their own

[21:33]curiosity.

[21:33]They just wanted to know what happened to these people and why

[21:37]they are taking captives.

[21:39]And some people came out of sympathy to say took this opportunity

[21:48]took advantage of this opportunity and she relayed to them what happened

[21:53]in Kbala.

[22:13]You are crying now.

[22:16]Go ahead and cry as much as you can.

[22:20]She scolded them.

[22:20]She was trying to make them feel guilty so they would revolt

[22:27]against Yazid.

[22:29]Do you know what you did?

[22:30]Do you know whose blood was spilled in Kerbala?

[22:33]It was the the blood of the prophet.

[22:37]Do you know whose women were exposed in Kerbala?

[22:41]The women of the prophet.

[22:42]Do you know whose body was dismembered in Kerbala?

[22:45]It was the body of the prophet.

[22:47]And she basically was relaying to them what happened in Kerbala and

[22:52]people were crying and crying.

[22:55]She turned that into a very dramatic scene in Kufa.

[23:00]So basically her job was to awaken people in Kufa, in Halab,

[23:08]in Hams and in Damascus wherever they went.

[23:13]Remember they were being paraded by Yazid through the Muslim country.

[23:16]Wherever they stopped or wherever they passed through, Zanab would give a

[23:25]brief speech and she makes people understand what happened in Kbala.

[23:30]Most people were unaware.

[23:30]The propaganda of Yazid was so powerful that many people either did

[23:37]not know what happened in Kbala, the scale of the crime, or

[23:42]they thought it is Hussein who rebelled against Yazid.

[23:45]Yazid is the legitimate leader, the good guy and Hussein is the

[23:53]bad guy.

[23:52]So she flipped it backfired.

[23:57]She would tell them Hussein is the son of Allah.

[23:59]No way he can be the bad guy.

[24:05]And Yazid is the son of Muawi and Abu Sufyan.

[24:09]She reminded them who Abu Safyan was.

[24:11]The man who always fought against the prophet for almost 20 years

[24:18]Abu Sufyan was heading the camp fighting the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

[24:23]till until he gave up.

[24:27]When the prophet conquered Mecca Abu Sufyan and his wife and they

[24:31]gave up they realized they cannot win the war with the prophet

[24:38]they gave up and they became an internal enemy disguising in the

[24:43]name of Islam.

[24:44]Zanab was capable through her eloquence.

[24:49]She was a very eloquent woman and through her speeches and communications

[24:55]she was able to spread the message.

[24:59]She was able to spread the message of the revolution and make

[25:08]people know what happened aware of what happened in Carbala.

[25:12]By the way, you all know that Sa Zab after the tragedy

[25:19]of Ashur, she was being paraded from Iraq to Syria, back to

[25:22]Iraq and then back to Medina in Saudi Arabia today.

[25:27]Why she is buried in Syria?

[25:32]Have you asked yourself this question?

[25:33]Why is she is buried in a suburb of Damascus?

[25:35]Because historians say when she went back to uh to Medina, she

[25:42]never relented exposing the regime and spreading the message of Imam Hussein

[25:48]in Medina by having women sessions, giving women session, Islamic awareness sessions

[25:59]to women.

[26:01]She was able to spread resentment among Muslim masses against the regime.

[26:07]So much so that that the governor of Medina wrote to Yazid,

[26:12]if you care about Medina and the masses, you need to find

[26:17]a solution for Zanab.

[26:17]He summoned her and her husband to Syria to be basically under

[26:23]house arrest till she died in in a suburbs of Damascus called

[26:28]Rawia.

[26:28]Raia is the same exact place where she is buried now.

[26:34]Now it is called Seda Zena.

[26:35]The village called Seda Zena.

[26:36]But it used to be called Rawia, a village not too far

[26:40]from Damascus where her shrine is today.

[26:45]So say Zanab was very determined at disseminating the message of Imam

[26:50]Hussein, awaking people and making sure that the message of Imam Hussein

[26:58]got across.

[27:01]basically laying the foundation for upcoming revolutions that took place three years

[27:11]ago by a bunch of people called a tawin repentant who revolted

[27:17]against beni and that was the first revolution ever recorded after the

[27:22]martyrdom of Imam Hussein.

[27:25]The third the third objective for say zanab was to challenge the

[27:34]tyrant Yazid and his associate.

[27:37]Let me focus on one point right now my dear brothers and

[27:44]sisters.

[27:45]Yazid and most tyrants always they focus on the shortterm victory.

[27:53]But leaders like Imam Hussein and those who follow Imam Hussein, they

[28:01]focus on long-term victory.

[28:02]Let me give you a small example of our modern day today.

[28:09]Israel, Israel was founded based on what?

[28:14]On sympathy drawn from what?

[28:18]From what?

[28:20]Any answer?

[28:22]from Holocaust.

[28:24]If it was not for the Holocaust, Israel would not have been

[28:29]founded in year 1948.

[28:32]The Zionist were powerful and savvy in exploiting the international sympathy occurred

[28:43]after the Holocaust in creating momentum that led to creation of Israel

[28:51]in 1948.

[28:51]So basically the small country called Israel or the small regime basically

[29:00]the foundation for that regime was to exploit the international sympathy.

[29:06]Today, when Israel cracks down on Palestinians, achieving a short-term victory, yes,

[29:14]Israel was capable of demolishing Gaza, killing over 60,000 people, wounding another

[29:24]200,000 people, displacing 2 million people.

[29:26]But do you know on what cost that came?

[29:29]Israel is losing legitimacy even among its allies.

[29:34]France, Britain, Germany, a country after country in Europe that used to

[29:41]be st supporters of Israel now questioning the legitimacy of Israel.

[29:47]Netanyahu and Israel were capitalizing on the shortterm victory, eliminating the Palestinians

[29:56]or any resistance.

[29:58]But the Palestinians were capitalizing on the long-term victory and that is

[30:06]to delegitimatize Israel and to put a huge question mark on it

[30:13]is legitimacy that was originally drawn from the sympathy from the Holocaust.

[30:19]Same thing say Zanab did.

[30:23]say Zab while obviously Yazid was the victorious in a military sense

[30:35]milit militarily in Karbala he achieved a shortterm um short-term victory over

[30:43]Imam Hussein but in the long term Imam Hussein followed by say

[30:48]Zanab they were capitalizing on the long-term victory and that is to

[30:54]delegitimatize Yazid that led to collapse of his regime 70 years later.

[30:59]In fact, his own rule, his own reign ended three years later

[31:05]and the the entire empire of Benny Omaya collapsed 70 years later

[31:14]due to the tragedy of say Zanab and Im Hussein by delegitimatizing

[31:19]Yazid and his rule.

[31:23]So say Zab was so successful and subhan Allah it's so amazing

[31:32]how you can imagine a woman overwhelmed and stricken with so many

[31:38]tragedies she lost at least two sons in Karbala in the battle

[31:46]of Carvala at least five brothers Imam Hussein Abdul Fil Abbas and

[31:51]three his three siblings She lost at least five, six nephews, Al

[32:00]Akbar, Al Azar, Al Kasim and many cousins.

[32:06]But she was so powerful, so resilient, never weakened, never weakened.

[32:14]Yes, her heart was full of pain, but that pain had never

[32:22]been translated in any sign of weakness in her personality.

[32:25]In fact, the other way around, the more tragedies she faced, the

[32:32]stronger she was, the more defiant she was.

[32:36]Remember the dialogue that took place between her and Iben Ziad when

[32:42]she entered his chamber?

[32:45]Most of you have heard the story during Ashur.

[32:46]But I want to stop for a minute to analyze her words

[32:51]when she was brought to the palace of Iben Zad after the

[32:58]tragedy of Ashur.

[32:58]Iben Ziad as you know he is the governor of Iraq on

[33:03]behalf of Yazid.

[33:05]Yazid was the emperor and Iben Zad was the governor of Iraq

[33:10]on behalf of Yazid.

[33:10]When they came in, Zanab disguised herself.

[33:14]She was she wrapped herself with her hijab so she would not

[33:24]be recognized.

[33:22]Iben Zad spotted her and he said he asked his associate, "Who

[33:30]is this lady who is trying to uh disguise herself so hard?

[33:42]He was told that lady is Zanab.

[33:46]He says, "Is that Zanab?" They told him, "Yes, that's Zanab." What

[33:50]did he say?

[33:53]He looked at Zan and he says, "Zanab, how do you find

[34:06]what happened to your rebellious brother and his rebellious household when they

[34:13]were killed in Kbala?" How do you find that?

[34:15]How do you see that?

[34:17]What did she say?

[34:19]She gave a brilliant answer.

[34:24]Wall the most brilliant answer.

[34:26]She says, "I haven't seen anything but a beauty." I say to

[34:34]those who say, "Why this happened to us?

[34:37]Why many people were killed in Lebanon?

[34:41]Homes were destroyed.

[34:42]Leaders were killed.

[34:44]Why this happened to us?" I remind you for Zab said to

[34:50]Zad.

[34:51]I remind you for answer for those who question why this happened

[34:57]to us in Lebanon and in Yemen.

[35:04]Don't focus on the short term.

[35:07]Focus on the long term.

[35:07]Yes, in the short term Israel was the triumphant, but in the

[35:14]long term it's not.

[35:15]It's not.

[35:17]That's why say zanab I haven't seen anything but a beauty.

[35:22]I can see I can foresee the demise of you and your

[35:25]leader Yazid.

[35:27]Three years later Iben Zad was killed in a very tragic way.

[35:34]Yazid died three years later.

[35:37]In a tragic way.

[35:39]Zanab was seeing the future just like you see cars looming from

[35:48]Ford Road now.

[35:48]That's how Zanab was foreseeing the future.

[35:54]She focused on the long-term victory.

[35:56]I mean seen nothing but beauty.

[36:02]My brother and his family were predestined to be martyrs.

[36:08]They were called upon by Allah to be martyrs and they did

[36:14]fulfill that call.

[36:22]Allah will bring you together with them in the day of judgment

[36:28]where you will be judged and you will be condemned.

[36:31]What an eloquent answer.

[36:33]No one other than say could have said these words.

[36:38]No one other than a woman given birth by Fatima Zah could

[36:45]have said these words.

[36:46]No one else other than a woman given birth and fathered by

[36:52]could have said these words.

[36:54]She was a courageous and she was foreseeing the future.

[37:00]How defiant, how strong.

[37:03]And then Ib Zad tried to kill Imam Z Abadin.

[37:08]She stopped him.

[37:10]She told him over my body.

[37:11]If you want to kill him, kill me first.

[37:16]Also when she went to Syria, she gave a beautiful at the

[37:22]chamber of the emperor.

[37:26]Yazid was the emperor.

[37:26]He was ruling over a vast country stretching from China all the

[37:31]way in the east to Morocco in the west.

[37:34]Huge country.

[37:37]No one could have defied Yazid.

[37:42]No one could have defied Yazid.

[37:46]He is a tyrant.

[37:45]He's intimidating.

[37:48]He's vulgar and he is bullying.

[37:51]No one can stand up for Yazid.

[37:54]Only Zab.

[37:54]When they entered in his chamber and the his chamber was packed

[38:02]by people, he declared that he can he will open his door

[38:06]for masses for people in Damascus to come and watch those rebellious

[38:12]captives.

[38:13]His goal was to cast a negative image on Imam Hussein and

[38:23]his family depicting a them as bunch of kharis, rebellious, rogue fighters,

[38:30]mafias.

[38:31]That's how he would depict Imam Hussein and his family.

[38:35]But it backfired.

[38:38]Say Zab took that opportunity to expose Yazid before people and to

[38:46]challenge him.

[38:47]Yazid was so jubilant when he was brought the head of Imam

[38:57]Hussein, the severed head of Imam Hussein.

[38:58]And he was so jubilant and so excited to see the head

[39:05]of Imam Hussein severed being put in a tray before him.

[39:11]He would take a stick and he basically hit Imam Hussein's lips

[39:15]with it expressing joy and jubilation.

[39:20]Say decided to face him head on.

[39:27]She says, "You think because you were the victorious in short term

[39:43]and we were taken as captives.

[39:46]You think God loves you and God honors you?

[39:50]Do you take this as a sign that Allah loves you and

[39:55]he hate us?" It's the other way around.

[39:55]Allah is setting a big trap for you.

[39:58]Allah is digging your grave by giving you this power so he

[40:04]can take you in.

[40:06]He can sucks you in.

[40:07]It's a trap set for Allah, set by Allah for you.

[40:11]And then she gave a beautiful speech in which she condemned his

[40:20]act of hitting Imam Hussein with his stick and cheering up his

[40:28]ancestors, his pagan ancestors.

[40:30]And then she said the following.

[40:35]Listen to this.

[40:34]Those words, those words would would move mountains.

[40:39]Now she's speaking to the emperor, to the most feared man on

[40:44]earth, the man who intimidated basically every single man on earth.

[40:54]She says, she says, "Yazid, know that you are not worth me

[41:08]speaking to you.

[41:12]You're not worth me Zab speaking to you.

[41:14]You don't desire that honor.

[41:19]You don't desire that honor that a woman like you speaking to

[41:22]a petty, worthless man like you, Allahbar.

[41:27]Allahbar, it's too much for me to speak to you.

[41:40]But what can I do?

[41:44]It is the calamities.

[41:44]It is the tragedies that put me here.

[41:46]Otherwise, you don't deserve a word from me.

[41:50]You are much lower than a woman like me, the descendant of

[41:59]Prophet Muhammad speaking to a petty guy like you.

[42:03]What can I do when my heart is full of pain and

[42:08]my eyes are tearary?

[42:10]It is the destiny that brought me here.

[42:13]Otherwise, I would never choose on my own to speak to a

[42:19]man like you.

[42:19]You're so despicable that you're not worth me speaking to you.

[42:25]Then she said the following.

[42:28]She says, She says, "Do whatever you can and use whatever you

[42:56]have in your disposal.

[42:56]I swear by Allah, your days are numbered and your efforts will

[43:06]go in vain and you are such a big loser.

[43:11]You will never be able to extinguish the light of you will

[43:17]never able because yazid you don't know that Allah is behind us.

[43:22]Allah is behind us and you cannot fight with Allah.

[43:28]You can fight with people but you cannot fight with Allah.

[43:32]You will lose.

[43:33]After she finished, a man, a misled man, a Syrian guy stood

[43:40]up and he looked at a young daughter of Imam Hussein.

[43:47]Her name is Fatima.

[43:50]She was 8 years old.

[43:50]She said to Yazid, "Yay, Yazid, give me this concubine as a

[43:58]gift." Referring to who?

[43:58]Fatima, the daughter of Imam Hussein.

[44:01]He wanted to take her as a slave concubine.

[44:05]Fatima was so scared panicking.

[44:12]She came to her auntie Zanab holding to her hijab and telling

[44:22]her please those guys want to take me as a slave as

[44:26]a concubine.

[44:25]Again, Zanab with a calm voice but defiant one.

[44:31]She says, "My beloved niece, don't worry, he can't do that.

[44:36]Nor his boss Yazid, they can do this." Yazid being provoked by

[44:43]Zanab challenging him.

[44:44]She says, "Yes, I can.

[44:44]I easily can give your niece Fatima as a concubine to this

[44:52]guy." She said, "Not before you declare that you're not Muslim anymore."

[44:59]He says, "I'm not Muslim.

[45:03]Your father is not Muslim.

[45:04]Your brother Hussein is not Muslim." She says, "Well, it is because

[45:08]of my father and my brother and my grandfather.

[45:12]You became Muslim.

[45:16]you and family if you are really Muslim.

[45:18]Slap after slap, punch after punch.

[45:24]Yazid was so dizzy that he could not say anything.

[45:28]He was speechless.

[45:29]A lady who is disarmed from any weapon, but the weapon of

[45:36]truth and eloquence was able to humiliate him, to make him so

[45:42]small before his constituencies, before his followers, to belittle him and to

[45:52]mock him without him being able to do anything.

[45:54]That was Sa Zab.

[45:58]Good job Imm Hussein.

[46:01]Good job for choosing Zanab to fight your fight on your behalf

[46:07]with Yazid.

[46:08]Yah Abdah.

[46:09]You were martyed in the day of Ash.

[46:12]But you did your sister did a great job in slapping your

[46:18]enemy Yazid.

[46:18]When you were not able to be there to slap him yourself,

[46:22]it was your sister Zanab who slapped him.

[46:24]one slap after another, smacking him in his face.

[46:30]I conclude with a small incident that took place in the palace

[46:38]of Yazid.

[46:37]Yazid between two parentheses.

[46:41]Prior to Karbala tragedy, he married a lady, her name is Hindah

[46:48]Kis.

[46:49]Her father was an honorable tribal chief and he was a pro

[47:00]IM Ali and her brothers were a pro IM Ali.

[47:04]But after the martyrdom of Imam Ali and after the death of

[47:08]her father, her brothers joined Yazid and Muawi.

[47:13]And because of this new bonds that took place between her brothers

[47:20]and Yazid, Yazid proposed for her marriage and he married her.

[47:24]Her name is Hind.

[47:28]Hend lived part of her life in Kufa.

[47:30]When in the years I imam Ali was in Kufa.

[47:31]Remember Imam Ali lived in Kufa for about five years.

[47:36]During those years prior to Kerbala almost 20 years 25 years before

[47:42]Kerbala's revolution I im Hussein Imam Ali Alisam when he was the

[47:51]Khalifa he chose Kufa as his capital Hind and her father and

[47:54]her brothers lived in Kufa during that time say Zab used to

[48:01]give lessons on Quran one of her students was Hinn now Hend

[48:04]is the wife of Yazid.

[48:05]She's a princess.

[48:07]When Yazid was speaking to Seda Zanab and Zeda Zanab was speaking,

[48:15]there was a curtain sat behind Yazid to which and behind which

[48:23]princess Hen was sitting and listening.

[48:25]She was listening the dialogue, the conversation between Yazid and her husband

[48:31]and say Zena.

[48:33]But she did not recognize say zanab.

[48:36]When she heard the voice of say zanab she looked at her

[48:43]aids and she says do I hear the voice of say zanab?

[48:51]They told her no say zanab.

[48:52]First they said she said I hear the voice of alibi.

[48:57]I hear a voice very similar to the voice of my master

[49:06]Aliab.

[49:03]They told her no Ali Abi Talib died 24 years ago.

[49:09]She says if it's not Ali someone related to Alibab I want

[49:14]to know who that person is who is speaking whose voice is

[49:20]so similar to the voice of Alibab.

[49:22]She dispatched one of her female aids servants to go and check.

[49:30]The servant went she pulled the curtain and she noticed that this

[49:38]is Yazid is speaking to say Zanab.

[49:40]She asked about Zanab.

[49:40]She doesn't know Zanab.

[49:43]She asked some of the soldiers who is this lady talking to

[49:46]Yazid.

[49:47]She was told it is Zanib.

[49:50]The lady, the servant came back and told Hen, the princess, the

[49:56]wife of Yazid.

[49:56]She they she said, "I asked the soldier and he told me

[50:02]the speaker of Zanab and Hen said Zanab which Zanab there are

[50:06]many Zanabs.

[50:07]She says he says Zanab Ali Abal she says what are you

[50:16]talking about Zanab?

[50:15]The daughter of Alibab is here in Yazid's chamber.

[50:20]She says, "Yeah, that's what the soldier told me." She came too

[50:26]close to the curtain to verify this the voice.

[50:29]She realized this is sad.

[50:31]She pulled the curtain.

[50:34]And she came before people and before Yazid.

[50:40]She is telling Yazid, "Shame on you, Yazid.

[50:43]You cover your wife and your ladies behind the curtain and you

[50:53]expose the daughter of Fatim Zara and Ali.

[50:54]You expose f the daughter of Allah.

[50:59]Shame on you.

[51:01]Shame on you Yazid for trying to humiliate the family of the

[51:10]prophet.

[51:09]Now until now, Zab was speaking with full force with Yazid and

[51:20]defiantly speaking to Yazid.

[51:22]But when she saw Hen coming out and being so protected and

[51:30]well shielded behind the curtain and she is being exposed at the

[51:35]majus of Yazid without having her protectors Imam Hussein and Abul Abbas

[51:41]that scene broke her heart and brought her tears down.

[51:46]She remembered now that Yazid is protecting his wife and his sisters

[51:54]and she has no protector.

[51:55]Her brothers were killed.

[51:56]Hussein was killed.

[51:58]Abaz was killed.

[51:59]She broke in tears and hand rushed to her.

[52:08]She says, "My lady Zab, I apologize to you for my what

[52:12]my husband is to do did to you.

[52:16]I really apologize.

[52:17]I can't see you being exposed in his majus when he is

[52:25]trying to protect his wife and shield them, shield his women." That

[52:31]was the time wished that she would be surrounded by her brothers

[52:38]Im Hussein and Abu Abbas.

[52:41]Probably that's the only weak moment after the revolution of Ashur in

[52:50]which she felt so vulnerable and a protected and defenseless.

[52:53]She says Yazid you have power and you have soldiers.

[52:58]You have army to protect yourself and you think we have no

[53:01]protectors but Allah is our protector.

[53:26]I ask you that we recite surah Mubarak fat for the healing

[53:32]of the sick and for the answering of prayers.

[53:36]I ask you all to recite Assalamu alaykumah.
