'''Zarud''' is a station on the way between Mecca and [[Kufa]] where [[Imam Hussain]] sent a messenger to [[Zuhayr b. al-Qayn|Zuhayr b. Qayn]] and asked him for a meeting. Zuhayr was first reluctant to meet the Imam, but when his wife, Daylam or Dalham, encouraged him to do so, he went to Imam Hussain. The meeting changed the course of his life. After the meeting, he happily went back to his family and friends, and had his camp and stuff moved near Imam Hussain's camp. At this station, Imam was also informed from [[martyrdom]] of [[Muslim b. Aqil b. Abi Talib|Muslim b. Aqil]].

When Al-Hussain reached Zarud, [[Zuhayr b. al-Qayn|Zuhayr B. al-Qayn]] al-Bajali<ref>Having discussed the Bajali tribes, Ibn Hazm, on p. 365 of his book Jamharat Ansab al-’Arab, says, “[His full name is:] Zuhayr Ibn al-Qayn Ibn al-Harith Ibn Amir Ibn Sa’d Ibn Malik Ibn Zuhayr Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Yashkur Ibn ‘Ali Ibn Malik Ibn Sa’d Ibn Tuzayn Ibn Qasr Ibn ‘Abqar Ibn Anmar Ibn Arash Ibn ‘Amr Ibn al-Ghawth Ibn Nabt Ibn Malik Ibn Zayd Ibn Kaylan Ibn Saba'.” On p. 310, the author traces the lineage of Saba' [known to Westerners as Sheba] thus: “Saba' Ibn Ya’rub Ibn Qahtan (Joktan).”</ref> , who did not support him and even hated to be near him, alighted near him. Water gathered them somehow at the same place. As Zuhayr and his group were eating, a messenger sent by Al-Hussain came to them inviting Zuhayr to meet his master Abu Abdullah. Zuhayr was first reluctant to meet the Imam, but when his wife, Daylam or Dalham, the daughter of Amr, encouraged him to do so, he went to Imam Hussain<ref>Ibn Tawus, Al-Luhuf, p. 40</ref> . The meeting changed the course of his life.
