From ziaraat.com:

9th Rabi-al-Awwal - Eid-e-Zahra(s.a.). Also known as Eid-e-Shuja.

This is the day of Eid for Momineen and Mominaat and marks the end of the mourning period after the events of Karbala. According to Ulema, this is the day when the key murderers of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Umar ibn-e-Saad(L.A.) and Ubaidullah ibn-e-Ziyad were killed and sent to the Hell. When their heads were presented to Imam Zain-ul-Abideen(a.s.) by the forces of Hazrat Mokhtar-e-Thaqafi (a.r.), Imam(a.s.) prostrated and thanked Allah (swt) that HE had granted him long enough life that he could see the heads of the killers of Imam Hussain (a.s.).

This was the first time since the events of Karbala that the people saw smile on the face of Imam Zain-al-Abideen (a.s.). Therefore, the faithfuls of Prophet Mohammad (sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait (a.s.) should celebrate this day as an Eid day. Allah(swt) has reserved great reward for anyone who declares and celebrates this day as Eid day.
