لَمَّا قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع لَبِسْنَ نِسَاءَ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ السَّوَادَ وَ الْمُسُوحَ وَ كُنَّ لَا يَشْتَكِينَ مِنْ حَرٍّ وَ لَا بَرْدٍ وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يَعْمَلُ لَهُنَّ الطَّعَامَ لِلْمَأْتَمِ.

“When Imam Husain Ibn Ali (peace be upon him) was martyred, the women of Bani Hashim wore black and coarse woolen clothes; they neither complained about heat nor cold. Imam Ali Ibn al-Husain (peace be upon him) used to feed them during their mourning (beating their chests).”
