She suddenly woke up and looked at the glass, seeing the soil turning into blood. Thus, she learned that Husayn (a) was martyred.<ref>See: Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 45, p. 89, 227, 232; vol. 44, p. 225, 231, 236, 239.</ref> She started to cry and when the neighbors went to her, she told them the story. | The Prophet (s) gave some [[Turba of Imam al-Husayn (a)|soil]] of [[Karbala]] to Umm Salama and she kept it in a glass container.
