Officials in the security field found out, through the checkpoints, that pilgrims flocked to Kerbala the last week, where hotels and mosques could not receive more pilgrims.
Narrations by Shia and Sunnie Muslims say that offering salutation to Imam Hussein (Peace be Upon Him) on the day of Arafat is significantly important, and some of them said: “Allah rewardingly reviews the pilgrims of Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him) before Arafat pilgrims, and fulfills their needs; forgives their sins; and makes them close to Him through their issues, then He reviews Arafat pilgrims and does the same”.
