Sayeda Al-Zahra (AS) and Imam Hussain (AS)

By: Al-Salih al-Fattani al-`Amili

Shaikh Muhammed Mehdi al-Fattani al-Nabati al-`amili, a scholar, poet, a scholar of fiqh, hadith and Tafsir, has said,

O Master! O Messenger of Allah! Stand and see

What happened to your very family:

More that what you did tell:

They took away caliphate from Ali,

And what you said many did deny.

They led him to so-and-so to swear fealty,

Against his wish, oppressors taking him forcefully.

For that, he was with the sword his Shabir became

A martyr, and by poison his Shubbar died.

As if he was not the like of the Prophet

Nor was he, by his Lord, purified.

And Fatima is there, her sanctity did they violate,

By one who caused her rib at the door to break.

Your Husain, without a cause, slain,

Her body cut to parts, with blood stained

Dusted, lying on the ground is your Husain
