The Miracle of Imam Hussain’s (AS) Severed Head Reciting the Quran in the Bazaar
This is a well-known miraculous event in Shia historical and religious narrations related to the aftermath of the Battle of Karbala (10th Muharram, 61 AH).
What Happened:
After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS), his head was severed and placed on a spear (lance). The enemies (army of Yazid, under Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad) paraded the heads of the martyrs along with the captives — including Imam Hussain’s sister Hazrat Zainab (AS) and other women and children — from Karbala to Kufa (and later to Damascus).
In the busy bazaar (market) of Kufa — particularly the section of the money-changers where there was a lot of noise and commotion — the severed head of Imam Hussain (AS) performed a miracle:
• It first made a loud hawking/coughing sound (clearing its throat) to attract the attention of the crowd.
• Then it began reciting the Holy Quran, especially Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave), starting from the beginning.
• It recited verses such as:
• “Or do you think that the fellows of the Cave and the inscription were of Our amazing Signs?” (Quran 18:9)
• And continued to other verses, including warnings to the oppressors.
People were astonished. One narrator, Zayd ibn Arqam, said he heard it and exclaimed that this was an even greater miracle than the story of the People of the Cave.
After the tragedy of Karbala, the suffering did not end, it had only begun.
The journey to Shaam starts.
The women and children of the AhlulBayt (AS) led by Sayeda Zainab (SA), were taken as captives. Through every hardship, every step, and every tear, they carried the message of Karbala with patience and courage.
فاجعةٌ إن أردتُ أكـتُبُها * مُجـمَلةً ذِكـَرةً لمُدَّكِرِ
جرت دموعي فحال حائلُها * ما بين لحظِ الجفونِ والزُّبُرِ
وقال قلبي ببُقيا عليَّ فلا * والله ما قد طُبِعتُ مِن حَجَرِ
بَكَت لها الأرضُ والسّماءُ وما * بينهما في مَدامعٍ حُمرِ
في تلك الليلة لم يكن الوداع خوفا من الموت،بل شوقا للشهادة ونصرة للحق.
"والله لو قتلنا ثم حيينا ثم قُتلنا ألف مرة ما تركناك يا أبا عبدالله"

What does Shaheed Sayyid Ali Khamenei relate about a conversation between Imam Husayn (A) and lady Zaynab (A), a conversation that was related by Imam Sajjad (A)?
His eminence, Shaheed...
"I'm not rising against Yazid as an insolent or tyrant. I've risen against Yazid as I seek to reform the ummah of my grandfather.
I wish to bid the good & forbid evil & to follow the way of my grandfather & father, Ali Ibn Abi Talib."
Imam Hussain (a.s)
