أول مأتم ببغداد على الحسين
أول مأتم ببغداد على الحسين
c. 28 January 963 CE · 10 Muharram 352 AH
On 'Ashura 352 Mu'izz al-Dawla obliged Baghdad to mourn al-Husayn: markets closed, sackcloth on the shops, cooks forbidden food, and the Rafida's women processing bare-haired and beating their faces — the first such mourning held at Baghdad per al-Dhahabi's 'Ibar; on 18 Dhu l-Hijja that year the Rafida also made Ghadir Khumm a festival with kettle-drums and an 'id prayer in the open 1.
