Granddaughter of the Prophet ﷺ who survived Karbala and spoke out for its victims.
Zaynab, daughter of Fatimah and Ali, married her cousin Abdullah ibn Jafar. She travelled with her brother Husayn to Karbala and saw him and her sons killed. She cared for the surviving women and children as captives were taken to Kufa and Damascus, and the historians record her bold speeches there.
