A misbaḥah is a tool that is used as an aid to perform dhikr, including the names of God in Islam, and after regular prayer. Many Shi'is use beads made from clay from Karbala, sometimes colored red in memory of the martyred Imam Husayn's blood or green in memory of his brother Hasan (who supposedly turned green from poisoning). Misbahahs are also used culturally to reduce stress or as an indication of status in society. ==History==

In the early Muslim era, prayers were counted on fingers or with pebbles. According to the 17th-century Shia cleric ʻAllāmah Muhammad Baqir Majlisi, after the 625CE Battle of Uḥud, Fāṭimah (the daughter of Muhammad) would visit the Martyrs' graveyard every two or three days, and then made a misbaḥah of Ḥamzah ibn ʻAbd al-Muṭṭalib's grave-soil. After that, people started making and using misbaḥahs. Some hadiths state the benefit of using the fingers of the right hand to count tasbīḥ following regular prayers. The practice of using misbahahs most likely originated among Sufis and poor people. Opposition to the practice is known from as late as the 15th century, when al-Suyuti wrote an apologia for it. ==Misbaha of Fatima Al-Zahra==

The Mesbaha of Fatima Al-Zahra, is recommended among Muslims, especially Shiite (Shia) sect of Islam. The Tasbih of Zahra is as follows: Allahu Akbar is recited 34 times, Alhamdulillah is recited 33 times, and Subhan Allah is recited 33 times. Muhammad ibn Abdullah taught this dhikr to his daughter (Fatima Al-Zahra). ==See also==
