History of Arbaeen's Walk

The hike and pilgrimage of the holy shrine of Imam Hussein on the Day of Arba'in has a historical root because Jaber ibn Abdullah Ansari and Attiy Awaf moved to Medina in 1281, on the foot of the hill, and in the morning the first Arbaeen that passed through the testimony of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shohada (AS) Arrived in Karbala, and according to what is seen in authentic Shiite sources, on the day of Arbaeen, Zaynab Kobra and Imam Sajjad, along with eighty-four people entered Karbala, after talking with Jaber Abdullah Ansari, the grave of Imam (AS) And pilgrimage from Arbaeen began.

Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) against Islam, when they arrived in Karbala, saw Jaber ibn Abdullah Ansari (5) who came with some of Bani Hashem and the Prophet's family for the pilgrimage of Hussein (peace be upon him), at the same time arrived in Karbala with them, and they grumbled and groaned They slapped their faces and grunted their groans, and the women of the nearby villages also joined them, Zaynab Alihas Salam came to the crowd of women and choked, and said to the voice of the devil who hurt the hearts: "O Muhammad! Wow! Wait for the Messenger and Ibn Makka and you! And Ibn Fatemeh al-Zahra! And ibn ali almurtizi! Oh oh, oh! "So he became unconscious.

Then Amlkhthum hurt his face and said with a loud voice: today, Mohammad Mostafa, Ali Morteza and Fatima Zahra have died, and other women have been slapping and crying.

Sakineh cried out like this: "Wa Mohammad!" Separate! How hard it is for you to tolerate what you have done with your love, they have driven them from the blade, and then they were falling down!

Atiyah Afo says: "With Jaber ibn Abdullah, I came to the pilgrimage of the grave of Hussein Ali al-Salam, and when we arrived at Karbala, Jaber was near the Shrine of Euphrates, and he was bathing and wounding like a Mahrar, and opened the couch with a smell, and he himself And every step he took to mention God said he reached the sacred grave and told me to put my hand on the grave! Because of this I went to the grave.

I poured water on Jaber, so it came to life, then he said three times: "Hussein!"

Then he said: "Habib la Yajib Habib!" And then he added: "What do you want to answer that Hussein is smeared in his blood and split between his head and body!" And he said: "I testify that you are the son of the best prophets and the great son of believers; you are the son of the son of Allah and guilty, and the fifth among the companions of Qasa and Abba'i, you are the great son of Nighiban and the son of Fatima Sayyid, and why is not the hand of Seyyed al-Murslin You have been eating and cooked in the midst of the godfearing, and you have been breastfeeding from the breast of faith, and you have been clean and clean, and you have been distressed, and you have saddened the hearts of the believers from your separation, so God's peace and blessings be upon you; you went to the same way that your brother Yahya bin Zakaria was a martyr. "

Then he turned his eye around the grave and said, "Hi, I salute you the spirits that fell down alongside Hussein, and I testify that you have performed the prayers, and you have paid Zakat, and you have forbidden the famous and forgiving, and with the proximate Khawr did battle and jihad, and worshiped God until you died. "He added:" To the God who brought the Prophet to justice, we are partners in what you have become martyrs. "

Attiya says: I said to Jaber: We did nothing! They are martyred, said: "O my God! I heard from Habib the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah), peace be upon him, saying: "I am in control of the law and I take the practice of the people of Escher-phi-Amalm." Anyone who likes a group will be gathered with the same, and whoever loves the act of communion, Will be a partner. "

Rehabilitation of Arbaeen's Walk by Sheikh Mirza Hossein Noori

Archean's hike will then be forgotten in a lamb from time to time and eventually restored by Sheikh Mirza Hussein Nuri.

This great scholar first went to Eid al-Adhaf on a walk from Najaf to Karbala, which was on the way for three days and accompanied by him to about thirty of his friends and relatives, with whom he later decided, Mohaddes Noori. Every year, he repeats this, he went to visit the holy shrine of Abbas Abdullah Hussein (PBUH) in the year 1319 AH

What is

Arbaeen

Arbaeen Gathering is a highly participated ceremonial event occurring every year in the West Asian country of Iraq by a wide variety of nations. Starting from the city of Najaf and ending in the city of Karbala, millions of people walk through this 80 km long path, leading to a 30 million strong gathering in the destination at Karbala on the day of “Arbaeen” to mark this day as a day of allegiance to Imam Hussain’s holy and valuable goals. In Arabic, Arbaeen means “the 40th” and it is named after the 40th day after Imam Hussain’s martyrdom. And Hussain is God’s last prophet’s grandson, who was beheaded thirsty on the banks of Euphrates River in Karbala by the hands of tyrant of the time Yazid. And Arbaeen Gathering in Karbala, a commemoration now occuring on an annual basis for about 1.5 of a millennium since Hussain’s martyrdom in 680 AD, still inspires people of all ranks to head to it in their tens of millions from all across the world

?what is Arbaeen

Number forty is mystic in Theosophy. According to the Islamic culture if someone practices a good deed constantly during forty days, it would be his inseparable attribute and lead to descending of Allah's blessing.

In some religions forty days and forty nights praying has been special position. When Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) prayed forty nights; found the ability to hear the words of Allah (SWT),

"And when We appointed a time of forty nights with Musa, then you took the calf (for a god) after him and you were unjust." [Glorious Quran 2:51]

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, "Whoever dedicates himself to Allah (SWT) for forty days, will find springs of wisdom sprout out of his heart and flow on his tongue." Commemorating of the fortieth day of deeds by their family and giving alms is one of the common customs among some of the Muslims.

The 40th [Arbaeen (Arbayeen) or Chehlum] marks an important turning point in the movement of Karbala (Kerbala). This day, which is no less important to the day of Ashura (Aashura/Ashurah) is important for many reasons - the prime being that the Ahlul Bayt reached the land of Karbala on this day and performed the visitation to Sayyid ash-Shuhada al-Husayn (as) and the loyal family and friends who gave their life for the cause of Islam. Although the historians differ on when this event transpired; some say it was in the same year of the massacre in Karbala in the year 61 AH, whilst other say it was in the following year 62 AH. Whatever the case, the atrocities and difficulties which the family of Prophet Muhammad (saw) was put through in the court of Yazid and the long ride to Karbala culminated on the 20th of Safar on the empty plains of Karbala.

According to most widely accepted traditions, the family of Prophet Muhammad (saw) remained in captivity for about a year in Damascus by Yazid, the Umayyad Caliph. After one year when the ruler of Shaam (Syria) were forced to release them, Bibi Zainab (sa) said to Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as) that she wanted to go back to Karbala to mourn his brother and all the martyrs of Karbala. The same was desired by other women of this caravan and Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as) directed them towards Karbala. The grave of Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as) was not desolate as some may expect. Rather, as the Ahlul Bayt were approaching Karbala, there were a few people already at the grave, marking his martyrdom with tears. The individual, who had been a companion of Prophet Muhammad (saw) - Jabir ibne Abdullah al-Ansari (who at this point was blind) - along with his assistant (Atiyya bin Saad), had made the trek from Madina to the place of martyrdom of his Imam and master, Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as). Jabir ibne Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) called out to his Imam, "I testify that you are the son of the Seal of the Prophets, the son of the Master of the Faithful, the son of the inseparable ally of piety, the descendant of guidance." His servant, Atiyya bin Saad noted to him that he could see a caravan of people in the distance and they were approaching this sacred site. As they approached, they realized that this was none other than the caravan of present Imam, Ali ibn al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as) with the other family members and assistants!

The historians note that at this point, Jabir ibne Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) and his assistant, Atiyya bin Saad, moved out of the way so that the women of the Ahlul Bayt and the others could show their grief at the sacred grave in privacy and according to reports, the heads of the martyrs were also buried at this point in time - as before leaving Shaam (Syria), they were given back the sacred heads of the martyrs
