124. The Grace of Hazrat Zaynab (‘alayhā al-salām) upon Elegy Poets

On Saturday, 4/8/92 [Solar Hijri], corresponding to 20 Dhī al-Ḥijjah al-Ḥarām 1434 AH, Ḥujjat al-Islām wal-Muslimīn Āghā Ḥājj Shaykh ʿAbbās Shaykh al-Raʾīs said:

I have composed four thousand verses (lines) of poetry for Imām Husain (a.s.), and two hundred verses specifically for Hazrat Zaynab (‘alayhā al-salām). While composing those poems, I would weep intensely, and those were the moments I wrote them.

One night, in a dream, I reached the sacred presence of Hazrat Zaynab (‘alayhā al-salām). She said to me: “I have gifted to you the reward of my own Arbaʿīn Ziyārah.”

Āghā Shaykh al-Raʾīs then said:

I took that as a confirmation of the arrival of the caravan of captives in Karbala al-Muʿallā on the day of Arbaʿīn, and naturally considered it to be the first Arbaʿīn.
