She and her two sons accompanied Imam al-Hussain (as) on the Event of 'Ashura' where her two sons were martyred and she was taken as captive to Kufa and then to Damascus. Her sermons in Kufa and Damascus (in front of Yazid) are very famous. Due to many sufferings she had undergone, she was called as Umm al-Masa'ib (mother of calamities).
Her most famous name is Zainab, which literally means "a scenic tree with a beautiful fragrance". Zainab is also a compound of two words "zayn" (adornment) and "ab" (father), meaning the adornment of the father.
According to several hadiths, the Prophet (s) named her Zaynab. It is said that Gabriel brought this name from God to the Prophet (as).
When the Prophet (as) held her for the first time, he kissed her and said, "I advise the present and the absent of my Umma to honor and respect this girl as she looks like Khadija."
Many titles have been reported for her such as 'Aqilat Bani Hashim (wise woman of Banu Hashim), 'Alima Ghayr Mu'allama (the knowledgeable without being taught), al-'Arifa, al-Muwaththaqa (trustworthy), al-Fadila, al-Kamila (perfect), 'Abida Al 'Ali (worshiper of the family of 'Ali), al-Ma'suma al-Sughra, Aminat Allah, Na'ibat al-Zahra' (representative of Zahra'), Na'ibat al-Husayn, 'Aqilat al-Nisa', Sharikat al-Shuhada', al-Baligha, al-Fasiha, and Sharikat al-Hussain.
Due to the hardships she suffered during her life (demise of the Prophet (as), sufferings of her mother and her martyrdom, martyrdom of her father, Imam 'Ali (as), her brother, Imam al-Hasan (as), the Battle of Karbala, martyrdom of her brother, Imam al-Husayn (as) and her two sons and her other relatives, going to Kufa and Damascus as a captive) she was titled as Umm al-Masa'ib (lit, mother of calamities, referring to the numerous miseries she was inflicted with).
Her utterances and sermons, which are full of demonstrations from the Qur'an, in Kufa and the court of Yazid, show how knowledgeable she was.
During the residence of Imam 'Ali (as) in Kufa, Zaynab held sessions on exegesis of the Qur'an for women of Kufa.Her sermons reminded the audience of the sermons of her father, Imam 'Ali (as). Her sermons in Kufa, in front of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad, and in the court of Yazid are very similar to those of Imam 'Ali (as), and the Fadakiyya sermon from her mother Fatima (as).
She would worship at nights. She never quit tahajjud (night vigil). She gave so much of her time to worshiping acts that she was titled as "'Abidat Al 'Ali" (the female worshiper of the family of 'Ali).
Fatima bt. al-Hussain (as) said, "On the eve of Ashura, my aunt (Zainab) was worshiping, praying and crying for all the night.It is narrated that Imam al-Husayn (a) told her at his last moment on the day of 'Ashura, "O, my sister! Do not forget me in your night prayers."
On the day of 'Ashura when she saw her brother's bloody body, she said, "O, Allah! Accept this humble sacrifice from us."She rescued Imam al-Sajjad (as) from death several times, one of which was in the court of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad after that Imam al-Sajjad (as) debated with him, he ordered to kill the Imam (as), but Zaynab (as) put her hand around Imam's neck and said, "As long as I am alive, I do not let you kill him."
Sayyeda Zainab (sa) is the shining sun in the history of Islam and of humanity.The history of Karbala is based on two pillars: the rising of Imam Hussein (as) and the rising of Sayyeda Zainab (sa). She was an outstanding figure in the history of Karbala endowed with divine steadfastness and fortitude. She sacrificed her two sons and one should not say anything if one devoted his life for the cause of Allah (SWT). After the martyrdom of her brother and her two sons, she said: "O my Lord! Accept our humble sacrifice to You."
Another unique feature of Sayyeda Zainab's (sa) character was her establishment of mourning ceremonies. This tradition which has lived in the memories and hearts of millions of Muslims to this day, has kept the sacrifices of Imam Hussein (as) alive, and brought dynamism to every movement that aimed at removing injustices on earth.
After every Majlis, the women would offer their condolences to Sayyeda Zainab (sa) and the men to Imam Zainul Abedeen (as). These majales made quite a stir in the cities, and the sound of crying and beating of chests and heads affected the minds of the inhabitants, and made them sadder and wiser to the events of Karbala.
