Why did Lady Zeinab (sa) insist they go to Karbala upon
returning from Shaam?
Feb 16, 2009
The late Sayyid Ibn Tawus and other luminaries have maintained that when the
captives - namely, Zeinab (s.a.) and the others - entered the desert of Karbala
on Arba'een, Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari and Atiyyah Oofi were not the only people
there. Some people from the Bani Hashem tribe and some of the companions of Imam
Hussein (a.s.) had gathered at his shrine to welcome Zeinab (s.a.). Maybe that
was why Zeinab insisted that they go to Karbala on their return from Shaam: She
wanted this small but important gathering to be formed there. Some scholars have
argued that they could not have made it to Karbala by Arba'een. The late
Ayatollah Ghazi has explained in detail in one of his works how it was possible
for them to arrive in Karbala by Arba'een.
