{{Mourning of Muharram-vertical}}

'''Tasu’a''' is the ninth day of [[Muharram]] and refers to Muharram 9, 61/October 12, 680  the day before [[Ashura]]. On that day, [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam Hussain]]’s army was besieged by the enemy. [[Omar Ibn Sa’d|‘Umar ibn Sa’d]]’s army got prepared to attack Hussain’s camp after [[Shimr b. Dhi l-Jawshan|Shimr b. Dhi’l-Jawshan]] brought a letter from [[Obayd-Allah Ibn Ziad|Ubayd-Allad ibn Ziad]] threatening ibn Sa’d to either remain ruthless in confronting Imam Hussain or leave the command to Shimr. Shi’a respect this day the same as the Day of Ashura and mourn during it.
