Historical Research Quarterly (Journal of the Scientific Association of the History Department, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad), No. 49, Winter 2011 Tahmineh Rais al-Sadat (MA student in Islamic Era Iranian History, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad) Etymology of the Three-Day Mourning Rituals in Iran during the First Centuries of the Hijri Abstract {IBMourning rituals are among the ceremonies that fall within the cultural sphere of a society and are part of the customs and traditions that all societies with various religions and cultures pay attention to. Given these points, it was understood in the Zoroastrian religion that the mourning ceremony on the third day of an individual's passing held special importance. In this same context, one can again mention the martyrdom of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib; the Prophet(s) said to Fatima(s) that food must be provided for Ja'far's family because they are currently in mourning, and Fatima(s) prepared food for them for three days, and this custom became common among the Banu Hashim. Undoubtedly, in Islamic mourning, three days of mourning for the deceased has existed and has been emphasized, and a prominent example in this regard, as mentioned, was the mourning for the martyrdom of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, which itself noted eloquent matters regarding the type of mourning, clothing, food, and feeding the bereaved family for three days. All the dignitaries and notables would go to offer condolences to him barefoot and bareheaded, and after the three days of mourning had passed, Sahib ibn Abbad sent them shoes so that they could emerge from the mourning(1) Bayhaqi, Abu al-Fadl Muhammad ibn Husayn.
