After ibn Sa'ad's army went out of Karbala, some
people from Banu Asad tribe came there and buried
their dead, but did not mark any of the graves, with the

exception of Husayn's which was marked with a simple
plant. Later Ali ibn Hussein returned to Karbala to
identify the grave sites.
Hurr was buried by his tribe a distance away from
the battlefield. The prisoners were held in Damascus
for a year. During this year, some prisoners died of
grief, most notably Sukayna bint Hussein. The people
of Damascus began to frequent the prison, and Zaynab
and Ali ibn al-Hussein used that as an opportunity to
further propagate the message of Hussein and explain
to the people the reason for Husayn's uprising.
As public opinion against Yazid began to foment in
Syria and parts of Iraq, Yazid ordered their release and
return to Medina, where they continued to tell the
world of Husayn's cause.

what we should Learn from the Battle of Karbala
Speaking about the companions of Imam Hussain AS
is a speech about the best companions with highest
ranks and Superior prestige. Not because they were
killed for the sake of the almighty Allah but because
they were killed in a time where supporters were very
few. While general people were after life precious the
(companions) were strangers no-one associates with
them nor agree with their path none person of that
society fears Allah the almighty.
