Dear questioner,
Master Ali Saei
(A question from a young sister)
My mother and I had gone to the mosque. A woman came and spoke to the ladies about Karbala and Ashura, and recited a lamentation. I was listening when I heard her say that on the day of Ashura, in front of all the unrelated men, the enemy pulled Lady Zaynab’s (SA) headscarf off. When the lamentation was over, I stood up and said loudly, “You were completely wrong! How can you say such a thing? No one dared to pull Lady Zaynab’s (SA) headscarf off in front of unrelated men.” The person in charge of the mosque told me, “Sit down, little girl. What do you know about Karbala? The speaker is an expert at reciting lamentations. Surely she wasn’t mistaken?”
