'''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]]. | '''Zarud''' is a station on the way between Mecca and [[Kufa]] where [[Imam Hussain]] sent a messenger to [[Zuhayr b. al-Qayn|Zuhayr b.
