About this day
Two entries sit on the sixth of Muharram: Habib b. Muzahir's appeal to Banu Asad, and the first siege of the Euphrates. Twelver communities differ over the dating of the water blockade, which is reported on the sixth as well as the seventh, so the Centre lists this day without presenting it as settled.
