HOLY KARBALA, Iraq: Bani Assad tribe commemorated the
ceremony of burial of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p) and his near and dear
ones on 13th of Moharram by holding Husseini procession.
A number of Husseini groups contributed in the commemoration. Women
led the procession in memory of Al-Assadiah women’s high stance on 3rd
day after the martyrdom of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p).
It is not a secret that Bani Assad men hesitated in burial of Al-Imam
Al-Hussein (p) because of fear of Yazidi forces, but it were their
women who showed their intention to go for burial of the Imam (p)
putting aside consequences which they were about to face on burial
from Yazidi forces, which encouraged men and then they buried the holy
corpse of the imam (p) and his dear and near ones.
The commemoration continued for hours and ended at the holy mausoleums
of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p) and his brother Al-Abbas (p).
