The First ever ceremony (Majlis)

Ummul Baneen conducted first ever ceremony (Majlis) after Imam Husain (A.S) martyrdom:
Then Ummul Baneen gathered women of Medina in her house and all cried for the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S).This was the first ever ceremony (Majlis) conducted after the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S). Ummul Baneen had such sincerity toward the Holy Prophet’s progeny that she loved Imam Husain (A.S) more than her own children. A feeling which was from the bottom of her heart – It was to the extent that when she received the news stating the martyrdom of her four children, she said: “Tell me about Husain (A.S)” and when she received the news of Imam Husain (A.S)’s martyrdom she said: “All of the arteries of my heart are torn. May all of my children and whatever that exists under this azure heaven be sacrificed for the sake of Imam Husain (A.S).

The First Noha Recitor of the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S):
After the arrival of Imam Sajjad (A.S) and Hazrat Zainab (S.A) in Medina Hadrat Ummul Baneen used to gather women in her house and used to narrate them how Imam Husain (A.S) and his companions were martyred by Yazid forces.
Hadrat Ummul Baneen was a great poetess and she is considered as the first Noha (lamentation poetry) recitor for the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S).She used to visit regularly the famous Jannat ul-Baqi cemetery in Madinah and recite her Nohas in a very sad and pathetic voice that everybody present there used to weep bitterly.
She transformed the Jannat ul-Baqi cemetery in Madinah as “the Centre of mourning (Azadari) of Imam Husain (A.S)”. The Nohas recited by Hadrat Ummul Baneen for the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S) are recorded in history and are considered as masterpieces in Arabic literature.
