Ziarat Shine of Zaynab

Ziarat Shine of Zaynab is highly recommended and includes special prayers and rituals to be performed as the Zaeer approaches the Shrine of Hazrat Zaynab.

Zaynabiyya

It is widely believed that Zaynab was buried in Zaynabiyya, a southern suburb of Damascus, Syria, where nowadays her shrine is. The shrine became a center of Twelver religious studies in Syria and a destination of mass pilgrimage by Twelver Shia Muslims from across the Muslim world.

Complaining (about this) is only to Allah."

وقَالَت: "یَا مُحَمَّدُ! هٰذَا حُسَیْنٌ تَسْفِی عَلَیْهِ رِیحُ الصَّبَا، مجْذُوذَ الرَّأسِ مِن القَفا، قَتِیلَ أَوْلادِ البِغا. وَاحُزْنَاهُ عَلیْکَ یا أبَا عَبْدِ الله."

السَّلاَمُ عَلى مَن بَکَتْ عَلى جَسَدِ أخِیها بَینَ القَتلَى حَتّى بَکى لبُکائِها کُلُّ صَدِیقٍ وَعَدُوٍّ، وَرَأى النَّاسُ دُموعَ الخَیلِ تَنحَدِرُ عَلى حَوافِرِهَا عَلى التَّحْقِیقِ

Peace be upon her who was tied with a rope on the arm and the neck of Imam Zayn al-Abidin, and she, along with sixteen persons from the family of the Messenger of Allah, was forced to enter (the session of Yazid) while they were enchained with iron fetters

وَقَالَ عَلِیُّ بنُ الحُسَینِ عَلَیهِ السَّلاَمُ لِیَزیدَ: "یَا یَزیدُ ما ظَنُّکَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَیهِ وَآلِهِ لَو رَآنا عَلى هَذِه الحَالَةِ؟"

Meanwhile, Ali ibn al-Husayn (Imam Zayn al-Abidin) said to Yazid, “What if the Messenger of Allah sees us in such a manner? What will be his impression?”

ثُمَّ قَالَت أُمُّ المَصائِبِ زَینَبُ لَهُ: "قَائلاً لَأَهَلُّوا وَاسْتَهَلُّوا فَرَحاً ثُمَّ قَالُوا یَا یَزِیدُ لا تُشَلْ، مُنْتَحِیاً عَلَى ثَنَایَا أَبِی عَبْدِاللهِ، عَلَیْهِ السَّلاَمُ، سَیِّدِ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ تَنْکُتُهَا بِمِخْصَرَتِکَ؟"

Then, Lady Zaynab; mother of misfortunes, said to Yazid -after he had poetized, "(Had my forefather whom were killed at the Battle of Badr witnessed this, they would have been very much delighted. then they’d have said, 'May your hands, O Yazid, never be paralyzed')"

ثُمَّ قالَت: "وَلَئِنْ جَرَتْ عَلَیَّ الدَّوَاهِی مُخَاطَبَتَکَ، إنِّی لَأَسْتَصْغِرُ قَدْرَکَ وَأَسْتَعْظِمُ تَقْرِیعَکَ وَأَسْتَکْثِرُ تَوْبِیخَکَ، لَکِنِ العُیُونُ عَبْرَى وَالصُّدُورُ حَرَّى. اَلا فَالعَجَبُ کُلُّ الْعَجَبِ لِقَتْلِ حِزْبِ اللهِ النُّجَبَاءِ بِحِزْبِ الشَّیْطَانِ الطُّلَقَاءِ!

"How dare you hit the lips of Abu ‘Abdullah (a), the Master of the Youths of Paradise?" She then said, "Although calamities have forced me to speak to you, I see you trivial in my eyes and find your verbal attacks great and I regard your rebuke too much to bear, but the eyes are tearful, and the chests are filled with depression. What is even stranger is that the honored Party of Allah is being killed by the Party of the ‘Released ones’—Party of Shaitan.

َلَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَنَا مَغْنَماً لَتَجِدُنَا وَشِیکاً مُغْرَماً حِینَ لا تَجِدُ اِلاّ مَا قَدَّمَتْ یَدَاکَ، ﴿وَمَا رَبُّکَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِیدِ﴾ فَإلَى اللهِ المُشْتَکَى وَعَلَیْهِ المُعَوَّلُ فی الشِّدَّةِ والرَّخاءِ.

If you regard us as your booty, you shall soon find us as your opponents—that will be when you find nothing but what your hands had committed, “And your Lord never treats His servants unjustly.(41:46)” To Allah is my complaint, and upon Him do I rely.

فَکِدْ کَیْدَکَ وَاسْعَ سَعْیَکَ وَنَاصِبْ جَهْدَکَ! فَوَاللهِ لا تَمْحُوَنَّ ذِکْرَنَا وَلا تُمِیتُ وَحْیَنَا وَلا تُدْرِکُ أَمَدَنَا وَلا تَرْخَصُ عَنْکَ عَارَهَا.

So scheme whatever you wish to scheme, and carry out your plots, and intensify your efforts, for, by Allah, you shall never be able to obliterate our mention, nor will you ever be able to kill the revelation (that was revealed to us), nor will you ever exalt to our position, nor will your shame ever be washed away.

(وَهَلْ رَأْیُکَ إلاّ فَنَدٌ وَأیَّامُکَ إلاّ عَدَدٌ وَجَمْعُکَ إلاّ بَدَدٌ. یا یزید أما سمعت قول الله تعالى: ﴿وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِینَ قُتِلُوا فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْیَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ یُرْزَقُونَ

Your view shall be proven futile, your days limited in number, and your wealth wasted on the Day when the caller calls out,  “Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah as dead; they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord”. (3:169)

فَالحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِینَ الَّذِی خَتَمَ لِأَوَّلِنَا بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَالمَغْفِرَةِ وَلِآخِرِنَا بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، وَنَسْأَلُ اللهَ أَنْ یُکْمِلَ لَهُمُ الثَّوَابَ وَیُوجِبَ لَهُمُ المَزِیدَ وَیُحْسِنُ عَلَیْنَا الخِلافَةَ؛ إنَّهُ رَحِیمٌ وَدُودٌ، وَحَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمُ الوَکِیلُ .

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, Who sealed the life of our early ones with happiness and forgiveness, and that of our last ones with martyrdom and mercy. We plead to Allah to complete His rewards for them, grant them an increase, and recompense us pleasingly; He is the most Merciful, the most Compassionate. Allah suffices us, and He is the best Guardian.

وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ الطَّیِّبِینَ الطَّاهِرِین

May Allah bless Muhammad and his Pure, Immaculate Household
