Hadith 44

Then he-la ordered with the captives and the (holy) head of Al-Husayn-asws, so they were carried to Syria. It has been narrated to me by a group who had gone out during that accompaniment, they were hearing at nights, lamentations of the Jinn upon Al-Husayn-asws up to the morning, and they said, ‘When we entered Damascus, the womenfolk and the captives were entered at daytime, uncovered of faces. The wicked people of Syria, said, ‘We have not seen captives more beautiful than these. So who are you-asws all? ’ Seekeyna-asws Bint Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘We-asws captives are from the family-asws of Muhammad-saww! ’
They-asws were stood at a step of the Masjid where the captives (tended to be) paused, and among them-asws was Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and on that day he-asws a young youth.

He-asws said: ‘So we-asws are they’. The Syrian raised his hands towards the sky, then said, ‘O Allah-azwj! I hereby repent to You‑azwj! ’ – three times. ‘O Allah-azwj! I disavow to You-azwj from the enemies of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and from the killers of the People-asws of the Household of Muhammad-saww.
