Bani Asad Tribe revives burial anniversary of al-Taff martyrs’ pure bodies

The holy city of Karbala witnessed the massive mourning procession of the Bani Asad Tribe, which commemorates the burial anniversary of the al-Taff martyrs’ bodies on the 13th of Muharram, with the participation of the Karbala tribes, amid significant presence of Husseini female mourners.

Shia Waves correspondent in Holy Karbala said that the mourning procession set off after the noon prayers from the shrine of Sayyed Jowdah heading towards Imam Hussein Holy Shrine, and then concluding the mourning at the al-Abbas Holy Shrine.

He added that Hussaini women offered their condolences to Sayyeda Zainab, peace be upon her, for the injustice and oppression she experienced on the Day of Ashura.

Historical sources report that the first to arrive in Karbala to bury the pure bodies with Imam al-Sajjad, peace be upon him, was the Bani Asad Tribe, and since then the tribe and other Iraqi tribes have been reviving the burial anniversary every year on the 13th day of Holy Muharram.
