Prophet's Family · died 62 AH · Cairo
Eldest daughter of Ali and Fatima, the heroic witness of Karbala. HER BURIAL IS DISPUTED among Cairo, Damascus and Medina; TDV notes it is uncertain she ever left Medina and the Cairo tomb may belong to a different Zaynab. The Cairo shrine is thus a contested maqam. (Sources: TDV 'Zeyneb bint Ali'; Wikidata Q12243214.)
