Captives of Karbala: Difference between revisions

'''Captives of Karbala''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|أسراء کربلاء}}) are the members of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] and the families of some of the [[martyrs of Karbala]] who were captured by [[Kufa army]] led by [['Umar b. Sa'd]] during the [[event of Karbala]] and after the martyrdom of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]]. They were taken to [[Kufa]] and then to [[Damascus]]. There are disagreements about the exact number of the captives; however [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] and [[Lady Zaynab]] are the most famous and eminent figures among them, who inform people about the tyranny of [[Yazid]] by their fiery sermons during the captivity.
