Ashura as a day of mourning for the killing of Hussein?
And as for taking it ('Ashura') as a day of mourning as the Raafidah (Shia) do on account of the killing of Al-Hussein رضي الله عنه, then that is from the deeds of the one whose efforts have been wasted in this life while he thought that he was acquiring good by his actions.[1]
Allah, nor His Messenger ﷺ have ordered to take the days on which the Prophets were stricken with calamities and their deaths as days of mourning, so what then about those who are lesser than them (in virtue)?!
Footnote translator:
[1] As Allah, the Most High, says in the Noble Qur'an: {Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): "Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds? Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds!} [Surah Al-Kahf 18:103-104]
Al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee, may Allah have mercy upon him

قال الحافظ ابن رجب رحمه الله: وأما اتخاذه مأتما كما تفعله الرافضة لأجل قتل الحسين رضي الله عنه فيه، فهو من عمل من ضل سعيه في الحياة الدنيا، وهو يحسب أنه يحسن صنعا، ولم يأمر الله ولا رسوله باتخاذ أيام مصائب الأنبياء وموتهم مأتما فكيف بمن دونهم!؟
