Zaynab bint Ali Quote
Of her dead brother:
O Muhammad ! O Muhammad! May the angels of heaven bless you. Here is Husayn in the open, stained with blood and with limbs torn off. O Muhammad! Your daughters are prisoners, your progeny are killed, and the east wind blows dust over them.
The history of Al-Tabari, Volume XIX The Caliphate of Yazid, tr. I. K. A. Howard
