Sajed Qodoosian, producer and director of the radio program said: "The show is focusing on the Tazieh Assembly of the Bazaar of Sham. It was performed on the night or day of Arbaeen, and this tazieh mostly refers to the presence of the prisoners of the Ashura event in Yazid's court, which we have produced for Arbaeen Radio in different episode and several parts. Each episode is thirty minutes”

Arbaʽeen ("the fortieth day") is a religious observance that occurs forty days after the Day of Ashura. It commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad, who was killed on the 10th day of the month of Muharram. Imam Husayn ibn Ali and 71 of his companions were killed by Yazid's army in the Battle of Karbala in 61 AH (680 CE).
. Arbaʽeen is one of the largest pilgrimage gatherings on Earth, in which up to 45 million people go to the city of Karbala in Iraq.
The significance of the number 40 has roots in a saying (hadith) of Muhammad: "On the day of judgment, among my people, God will consider whoever memorized forty Hadiths as an erudite man".
Numerous Islamic scholars have gathered collections of forty hadith, quoting from the prophet and the Imams, who followed him through the Shia sect.
