About this day
One reckoning, recorded by al-Kulayni in al-Kafi, places the birth of Imam al-Hasan al-Askari (a) in 232 AH on the eighth of Rabi al-Thani; another places it on the tenth. Twelver communities are divided between the two, and both dates are kept on the calendar. A mourning day, the martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (a) on the forty-day report, falls on the eighth as well, and the two appear side by side.
Communities differ on this
Families at the Centre do not all keep this on the same day. The date above is the one the Centre observes; it is not a ruling on anyone else’s.
