When Hazrat Masooma's_sa Carvan Was Directed To Qum And When She Approached The City, She Observed That Everyone Was Dresses In Black And Black Banners Were Visible Everywhere. Observing This Sad Atmosphere, Hazrat Masooma_sa Ordered Her Servant Lady To Ask Someone Who Could Tell Them About What Had Happened? Janab e Masoomaa_sa Thought And Was Almost Sure That May Be A Great Leader Of This City Had Died.


When Carvan Of Hazrat Masooma_sa Stopped Then Moosa Ibn e Khazraj_ra Himself Came To Offer His Salutation. When The Reason Behind The Black Dressed People And The Sadness InThe Atmosphere Were Asked? Moosa Ibn e Khazraj_ra At First Stood Quiet With His Head Bent Down But When Hazrat Masooma_sa Insisted Then Moosa Ibn e Khazraj_ra Begaan To Cry At First And Offered His Condolences At The Death Of His Brother Imam Ali Raza_as.
