The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam has stated,
“If a woman was to apply perfume to herself, then leave her home and wander past people who were tocatch her fragrance, she would be sinful of adultery and she would also be sinful of adultery for every glance she received”. (Ahmad, Nasai and Al-Haakim:Abu Moosa Al-Ashari)
My mother called me one day when the Apostle of Allah (ﺻﻠﯽاللهﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰﻋﻠﯿﮧﻭﺍٓﻟﮧﻭﺳﻠﻢ) was sitting in our house.
She said, "Come here and I shall give you Something."

* (The most firm bonds of belief are: supporting others for the sake of Allah, showing enmity for the sake of Allah, loving for the sake of Allah, hating for the sake of Allah the Almighty ) (sahih aj Jame' 2539).
Love for the sake of Allah means loving others just in the way and for the cause of Allah the Almighty, not for other objectives, just like the following verse of the Holy Quran {and those who strive in our (cause),- we will certainly guide them to our paths} al-Ankabout 69. i.e. they strive in the way, for the cause and for the sake of Allah Alone.

1-Conveying the Divine Shari’ah (Islamic law) to people:
The first mission among the Prophet’sﷺmissions is to convey the Divine Shari’ah to people, Allah says:
(O Messenger (Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.) [Surat Al Maida, 5:67]

Tatbir is a novelty that some mourners perform in order to show their devotion and readiness to shed blood and die for Imam Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him). They strike their head with a dagger. This dagger looks like a sword, but is shorter, wider and straighter.
Tatbir is a Novelty, not a Tradition
Tatbirhas no historical background among religious clerics and there's no credible Hadith that approves it. In fact Tatbir lacks religious background and has become a part of Islam like many other superstitions.
Tatbir is Forbidden

A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting with a group of his men companions. She said: “Messenger of God ﷺ, I am sent by a group of Muslim women and we all share the same view and have the same concern. Allah has sent you to both men and women. We believe in you and follow you. Yet we, women, have to stay at home. We are the object of men's desire and we bear their children. Nevertheless, men have privileges, such as the obligatory Friday prayer, attending funerals and going on jihad campaigns. When they leave for jihad, we look after their property and we rear their children. Messenger of God ﷺ, do we have a share of reward for doing so?”

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)possesses many manifest miracles and signs demonstrating [his veracity], reaching thousands and they are well known.
From amongst them was the Qur'an, the manifest and clear miracle and brilliant proof, falsehood cannot approach it from before it or behind it. It is a revelation from One Who is All-Wise and Praiseworthy. It incapacitated the most eloquent of people in the most eloquent of times to produce a single chapter that would be comparable to it, even if the whole of creation were to gather for that purpose. Allah, the Exalted says,
"Say: If the whole of mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they assisted each other."[Al-Israa' (17): 88]

Some of the major aspects of the mission and method of Prophet Muhammad are eloquently presented in a speech which one of his companions, Jafar ibn abi Taalib, made to the Christian ruler of Abyssinia in Africa in the year 616 CE. Jafar was the spokesman of a group of early Muslims who had sailed across the Red Sea and sought asylum in Abyssinia from the persecution of the pagan Makkans:
"0 King,"he said, “We were a people steeped in ignorance, worshipping idols, eating the flesh of dead animals, committing abominations, neglecting our relations and ill-treating our neighbors, and the strong among us would oppress the weak”.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was always cheerful, genial, and pleasant-tempered. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was never rude or rough. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) only spoke things that brought rewards from Allah Almighty. When he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke, the listeners would listen to his words with attention. They did not feel any inclination to engage him in heated arguments. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would always show patience with a stranger’s roughness of manners or harshness at talk. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say,
"When you see a person seeking an object earnestly, assist him to get his need."(Al-Baihaqi)

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him,feared for his nation from surplus more than he feared from poverty:
“By Allah, it is not poverty about which I fear for you, but I fear in your case that (the worldly) riches may be given to you as were given to those who had gone before you, and that you begin to vie with one another for them as they vied for them, and that they may destroy you as they destroyed them.”(Al-Bukhari).
