In Yazid's court, a celebration was ordered to be held in which Yazid insulted the children and women and forced them to witness the severed heads of the martyrs.
While Lady Zaynab (pbuh), Imam Hussain's sister, along with Imam Sajjad (pbuh), the surviving, ailing son of Imam Hussain (pbuh), were being moved from city to city in captivity and also when they were in Yazid's palace, they informed people of the truth of the path of the Prophet (pbuh), Imam Hussain's cause, and the appalling tragedy that had taken place.
