Re: Why do Shias beat upon themselves on 9/10 muharram
Which history told us that Yazeed did maatam for Shuhda e Karbala. Please come up with some authetic references instead of just relying on propaganda.
In Tareekh e Tabri there are some incidents mentioned that when Ahl e bayt reached in Yazeed’s darbar, how arrognatly he spoke to them. He quoted Quranic verses to show that he was honored by Allah and (Na’ooz Billah) Al e Muhammad was insulted. He even said to them that stories told by your forefathers proved wrong (meaning he denied the truthfullness of Quran). In some books it is written that he also said that now we have revenged for Badr.
As far as Azaadari beginning is concerned, our Shia brothers will told us about the history of this and Taziya and Zuljinah, etc, because it will clear things in a better way.
As per Tabri, in Shaam (Syria), women from Yazeed’s family when heard about Kabala and met Ahle Bait they mourned and did Noha khwani.
It is mentioned in Tabri that when news of Imam Hussain (RA) shahadat reached in Makkah / Medina women of Banu Hashim did mourned and expressed their emotions through Nohas. Seeing this Umro bin Saeed (Governor of Medina appointed by Yazeed) said that our women were also mourned like that when our men were killed.
