The sermon that Sayyida Zeinab (as) and Imam Zain Al-Abadeen (as) delivered in Kufah is a brilliant example of how their bereaved heart impacted the people through their sermons. The caravan of the captives, which consisted of WOMEN, children, soldiers holding spears that carried the heads of the martyrs, and the army men of Ibn Ziad ENTERED THE city of Kufah. As they entered, the people were cheering and expressing their joy of victory! But the sermon of Syeda Zainab (sa) was so powerful that it converted the glorious show of victory into a mournful ceremony, where the evils of the governor were revealed. The sermon caused for the delighted happy faces to sadden, and many even began to cry. As a matter of fact, her eloquent speech even boosted peoples anger toward the governor. There are several significant points concerning her sermon. The first point is that the speaker is a captive woman who is among many victorious soldiers and higher rank army men. She has to consider that the enemys anger may cause another attack upon the captives. Furthermore, since the people of Kufah knew Imam Ali (as) and his children, Syeda Zainabs (sa) sermon should have been in such a manner that people could fully understand the importance of such a tragedy. She pointed people to be quiet. The breathing of people remained in their chest.
