  31. Majlisi, op. cit., vol. 45, 171, offers a version of this legend: “When Husain ibn Ali was killed, a crow came and alighted in his blood and covered itself with it. Then it flew off and went to Medina, alighting on the wall of the house of Fatima bint Husain ibn Ali. She was the younger daughter of Husain. She lifted her head and looked at the bird. Then she burst into violent tears.”
