The women returned to their men (who were afraid of Yazid) and forced them to go and bury the holy corpses. They came with devices used for digging graves and burial. But as corpses were heedless they wee unable to recognize. At that time Al-Imam Zayn Al-Abideen (AS) came there by the will of Allah and told them about each and every corpse and then they buried.

Since that day, every year clan of Bani Assad along with devices to dig graves came at the holy shrine of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (AS).
