Attending the Mourning Session of Imam al-Husayn (a)

He asked me to recite an elegy for the mourning of Imam al-Husayn (a). Before I began, he (a) asked people around, call Umm Farwa to come and hear the sufferings of her grandfather. Umm Farwa came and sat behind the curtain. Then Imam (a) said, recite the poem.[5]
