Since the ziyarah of Arba'in has been strongly recommended, [[Shi'a]], especially Shi'a of Iraq, move towards [[Karbala]] every year on the occasion of Arba'in. This procession, which is usually made on foot, is considered as one of the most crowded rallies in the world. In recent years, following the collapse of the previous regime in Iraq, the number of these pilgrims has multiplied. In 2013, some reports estimated the number of pilgrims attending Karbala to be 15 million. | Since the ziyarah of Arba'in has been strongly recommended, [[Shi'a]], especially Shi'a of Iraq, move towards [[Karbala]] every year on the occasion of Arba'in.

[[Sayyid Muhammad 'Ali Qadi Tabataba'i|Qadi Tabataba'i]] wrote that procession of Arba'in towards Karbala has been a common practice among Shi'a since the time of Imams (a) and Shi'a used to perform it even at the time of [[Umayyads]] and [[Abbasids]].<ref>Qāḍī Ṭabāṭabāyī, ''Taḥqīq darbāra-yi awwal-i arbaʿīn ḥaḍrat-i sayyid al-shuhadāʾ'', p. 1-2.</ref> | |||
