::"It has been narrated that when the People of [[Allah]] and the [[household of the Prophet (s)]] entered upon [[Yazid]] in the city of [[Syria]], he provided for them a specific house and it was in this house that they [[mourning of Muharram|mourned]]. Our Master, Imam al-Husayn (a) had a three-year-old daughter... the head of Imam al-Husayn (a) was wrapped in a silk cloth. They brought the head and placed it in front of her and removed the cloth.

After you, who can we give our love to? O, my beloved father! Who will look after the orphans until they grow up? O, my beloved father! Who will be the guardian of the weak ladies? O, my beloved father! Who will be the guardian of the imprisoned widows? O, my beloved father! Who will wipe our tears away? O, my beloved father! Who will be the refuge for all the lost strangers? O, my beloved father! Who will reassure those who are worried? O, my beloved father! Who will fill the void for us left by you? O, my beloved father! Who is there for us in our loneliness after you? O, my beloved father! If only I could be sacrificed for you! O, my beloved father! If only I was blind before this. O, my beloved father! If only I had died before, I would not have seen your face covered in sand.' She then kissed the lips of her father and began to cry intensely until she fell unconscious. When they tried to wake her up, they realized that her soul had left this world." <ref>Ṭurayḥī, ''al-Muntakhab fī jamʿ al-marāthī wa al-khuṭab'', p. 136.</ref> | ::"It has been narrated that when the People of [[Allah]] and the [[household of the Prophet (s)]] entered upon [[Yazid]] in the city of [[Syria]], he provided for them a specific house and it was in this house that they [[mourning of Muharram|mourned]].
