Tossup
A narration by aṣ-Ṣādiq encourages remembering this figure’s thirst whenever drinking cold water. Buildings sometimes named for this figure are included in takyehs and host storytellers called rawda khwani. Participants of a ziyārat on the twentieth of Safar dedicated to this figure wear a ring on their right hand and walk barefoot over soil after performing ghusl (“GOO-sull”) in a river. People wear black headbands bearing this figure’s name to attend reenactments called ta’ziyeh. A prayer declaring this person “wronged” is recited alongside 51 rak’ats on a holiday sometimes called Chehelum. Besides the Kumbh Mela, the largest human gathering is a pilgrimage to this figure’s shrine on Arba’in. This commander was slaughtered by Yazīd I’s army at Karbalā’ and is mourned during Muḥarram.
