"No wonder now you contest his leadership, for you have already contested the previous leadership of his father. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) addressed people saying: Because he was still too young, people delayed their joining in this expedition. The leadership of Usamah was subject to criticism. Killing Farwah bin 'Amr Al Judhami (رضي الله عنه), who was their agent at Ma'an, was evidence of it.Īllah's Messenger (ﷺ) started to mobilize a great army in Safar in the eleventh year of Al-Hijra under the command of Usamah bin Zaid bin Harithah (رضي الله عنه).

( Sahih al-Bukhari 5707 ) This month comes after Muharram and before Rabi' Al-Awwal. Safar is the second month of the Islamic calendar. Safar might come from the fact that there was a lot of wind (i.e., whistling of the wind).Ĭhronological order in the Hijri calendar It is believed that most of the Hijri months got their names from the weather conditions of the time. We observe the birth of our seventh Imam Musa Kazim (as) on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar Rajab al-Murajab, even though Imam Musa Kazim (as) was born on the seventh of Safar Al-Muzaffar, it is in honour of the mourning month of Safar Al-Muzafar.ĭuring the month of Safar Al-Muzaffar the faithful give alms (Sadaqa) to the poor in the name of Allah (SWT) and recite the following Dua'a, daily, 10 times.The Arabic word صَفَر comes from the root letters ص ف ر which carry many different meanings depending on the context: to whistle, to hiss, a siren, yellow/to turn yellow, emptiness, hunger.

The 28th day of Safar Al-Muzaffar is also very sad day, because Prophet Muhammad (saw) died on this day. The 20th day of Safar Al-Muzafar is called as Arbayeen or the 40th day of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) at Karbala. What they try to do is not indulge in activities that make them oblivious of the great sacrifice of Imam Husayn (as) and his family for Islam. This does not mean however that they make their lives miserable. They are as one bereaved family, giving vent to their grief and sorrow through mourning rituals such as Majalis and Matam. During these two months Shia's try to avoid all forms of merry making. The family of Prophet Muhammad (saw) went through great difficulties and sufferings even after Ashura, and their grief and pain is remembered by their followers for two months. It was on the 10th of Muharram, 61 AH/680 CE that Imam Husayn (as) the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (saw) was martyred in Karbala, " Ashura", meaning the tenth day.
