'''Tasuʿa''' (Arabic: {{ia|تاسوعاء}}) is the 9th day of [[Muharram]], and it refers to [[Muharram 9]], 61/[[October 9]], 680 the day before the [[Day of 'Ashura]]. On that day, [[Shimr]] came to [[Karbala]] bringing a letter from [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]] in which [['Umar b. Sa'd]] was asked to either be serious in treating [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] or leave the command of the army to Shimr. 'Umar b. Sa'd refused to leave the army's command to Shimr and prepared to fight with Imam al-Husayn (a). After the attack of the army to the tents of Imam (a) in the evening of Tasu'a, Imam (a) sent his brother [['Abbas]] to ask the enemy to reprieve them the night. | '''Tasuʿa''' (Arabic: {{ia|تاسوعاء}}) is the 9th day of [[Muharram]], and it refers to [[Muharram 9]], 61/[[October 9]], [[680]] the day before the [[Day of 'Ashura]].

Also, on this day, Shimr brought a safe-conduct for 'Abbas and other sons of [[Umm al-Banin]], but 'Abbas did not accept it. Therefore, this day is significant for Shi'a. Traditionally, Shi'as consider the day of Tasu'a dedicated to 'Abbas (a) and respect it the same as the [[Day of 'Ashura]] and mention the merits of 'Abbas and mourn for him. This day is an official holiday before the Day of 'Ashura in [[Iran]]. | Also, on this day, Shimr brought a safe-conduct for 'Abbas and other sons of [[Umm al-Banin]], but 'Abbas did not accept it.
