Muharram mourning tradition in the desert

Hussain collected his friends and informed them that they could flee. He said that Yazid intended to murder him, not them. He implored his supporters to rescue themselves from bloodshed and murder. Regardless, Hussain’s troops remained faithful to him and devoted to their values. Yazid ordered his men to execute Hussain and his comrades. During the battle on the day of Ashura, the tenth day of battle, Hussain and most of his relatives and companions were slaughtered, while his surviving family members were taken captive.
