Why do Shias beat upon themselves on 9/10 muharram

@nadz123

and is there any references anywhere quranic/hadith for one to do so, or from where is this tradition derived. Are there any shias who dont do this, and have reasons not to.

As long as they are not beating anyone else, others shouldn’t bother. Everyone has his/her own beleif.
