 I imagine that you are in the city of Medina in the year 11 after Hidra and our lady Fatima Tassahra, alaihi salam, has just been martyred. I want you to imagine that you are in the house of the Ahl al Bayt, alaihi ma'salaam, and Sayyida Zaynab, alaihi salam, she's just a little girl when this has happened and she's fast asleep in her bed. Imam Ali, he is sitting, he is out sitting by the grave of his beloved Fatima, alaihi salam. I want you to imagine that Sayyida Zaynab has just woken up from a dream and she's crying and she says where is my mother, where is my father and you're the only one there with her, how would you comfort her in that moment? I think I might hug her, there's not much I can do with everything she's been through, everything that I know she's going to go through in that moment onwards. This is Umul Masaib, the mother of sorrows and no matter what hardships we go through in our lives, we have never even felt a percentage of what our lady, alaihi salam, went through. And now I want you to picture that you are in the city of Kufa. It is the 21st night of Ramadan and our master, Amir al-Muhmineen, Imam al-Muttaqeen, he has just passed away after being struck by a bin muljum. Imam Ali, alaihi salam, to say the Fatima was a father and a mother, she adored him. I want you to imagine that you're seeing her in so much pain and sorrow over the loss of her father, what would you say to her in that moment? I actually don't know, what can you say? Sayyida Zaynab and I think I'd be able to say anything. It's hard enough to comfort someone over the loss of their father. And yet this is Zaynab, this is the lady that our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa aali, he compared her greatness to that of Sayyida Qadija, alaihi salam. As hard as this is sister and now I want you to imagine that you are on the plains of Karbala and it is the 10th of Muharram in the year 61 AH. Sayyida Zaynab has lost Imam al-Hassan, alaihi salam, years earlier to poison. She has just lost Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas and his body lies beside the Fort Art, without his hands. And now Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam is alone and he is going forth to the battlefield and he turns to Sayyida Zaynab and says, my sister, bring me my horse. I want you to picture that Sayyida Zaynab turns to you and you're holding the reins of the horse in your hand and she says to you, give me the reins so I may give the horse to Abba Abzillah. How would you feel? How would you feel if she said that to you? Heartbroken, I can't even begin to imagine how it must have been giving Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam the horse to give to her brother and knowing that soon that horse was going to come back to the tents with no rider. The blood of the grandson of the Prophet smeared and it's made. Now I want you to imagine that you're standing in the streets of Sham and it is a joyous day. Everyone else is rejoicing. It is like a day of Eid but you can see the caravan of the Ahlul Reh, paraded in chains and you see Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam without her veil. You see men slap the blessed cheeks of Zaynab. You see the whips of shimmer on her back and on the back of Sayyida Ruqayyah. You see the men poke the ladies with spears and swords into their wastes. You see men throwing boiling water at the Ahlul Reh, alaihi salam. If you were standing in that crowd, what would you do? I would want to run to Sayyida Zaynab. I just want to ask her what can I do now? What can I do for you? Do you want me? I don't know. I think I'll just go to her and I'd ask her is there anything you want me to do? You would want to do the right thing. You would want to do the thing that she would be most pleased with as such. Help anyway? Yes, anyway. As tragic as this is and by God we will never forget the tragedies of Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam. Well, we won't. But one thing is important to imagine that one day these events will be avenged for by the Imam of our time, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala hasten his reappearance on the earth. We all hope to be servants of Imam Mehdi. And I want to know what qualities have you seen in Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam that you would hope to show to Imam Isaman in yourself? I think all of Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam's quality is amazing, but I think what I'd most want to get off her is when I learned from her, her patience, her bravery, and how through everything she went through, she never, not once, doubted God's plan, not once did she question. She always had patience. She was also, she was always grateful and grateful. I think I would want to be at stake. I pray sincerely sister that all of us, including the brothers and sisters watching at home, I hope that we can all learn from Sayyida Zaynab alaihi salam so that we may be to our Imam as she was to Aba Abdullah al-Hussein alaihi salam.
