Imam Hussein went to Mecca and stayed there for
four months. He visited different groups and wrote a lot of letters to Kufa,
Basra, and to individuals. He went on a pilgrimage to Kaba and he visited the
tombs of diseased predecessors; he went to the Aboutalib Cemetery and visited
the graves of his great grandfather, Aboutaleb (A.S), and his great
grandmother, Khadijeh (SA). He said his prayers right there.
