== Content of the book == At-Tanzeeh is about purifying mourning ceremonies and Taziya from heresies and is the most controversial book that has been written about mourning. The most important part of this book is the three pages at the beginning, which talk about heresies and abominations in mourning for Imam Hussain, and the following matters are considered among them: # Lies; are told in pulpits and gatherings. # Self-mutilation with machetes and chains. # Using instruments of recreation, such as drums, trumpets, and cymbals. # Assimilation of men to women in Ta'zia. # Women riding on the palanquins with open faces while comparing them to the daughters of the Messenger of God. # The screams of women in the presence of non-mahram men; even if not haram, is a form of disgrace and a violation of decency and morals. # Crying and wailing in an inappropriate and ugly voice. All those actions that cause a desecration of the ceremony, and are not counted as a part of the ceremony per se. What follows, until the end of the treatise, is the criticism of a book in which wearing a shroud, using blades and chains, playing drums and cymbals, and playing trumpets on Ashura is considered good. Allameh Amin did not mention the name of the author and the title of his book, but Agha Bozurg Tehrani said in al-Dhari'ah : "He is Sheikh Abdul Hossein Sadiq Ameli and the title of his book is Sima al-Salhaa Fi Asbat Jawaz Iqameye Aza li Sayyid al-Shahada, which was published in 1345 AH. From this, it turns out that al-Tanzeeh was written one year after the book of Sima al-Salhaa and in response to it. While quoting some contents from the book, Allameh Amin gave reasons to refute them and stated some hadiths against wearing shrouds or using machetes or chains. He added at the end: "If the words of this author are true, it would have been appropriate for scholars to do these things and become pioneers, and played drums and cymbals and trumpets, wore shrouds, and hit themselves on the head and face with swords so that the people would follow them. However, the scholars never did this and did not command it, and some of the people of the contemporary era have invented these practices."
