Turbah for Sale now on ShiaShopping.net!
A Turbah is tablet made of clay, preferably from the soil of Karbala, which is used by Shia Muslims to prostrate on during their Salat prayers. Its size is sufficient enough that one can rest their forehead on it, but small enough that it can be easily carried in the pocket. It is highly advisable according to the traditions of Ahlulbayt to prostrate on clean soil.

One of the traditions of Ahlulbayt commonly pointed to in Shia books is from Kanzul Amal about the benefits of Turbah:
Rub yourself with earth because it is mercy for you, mercy just like the kind mother has mercy for her children. Surely you have been created from it, it is your livelihood (food) and in it you will be buried after death. Kanz al-Ummaal vol 7 tradition 19778

It is not compulsory to prostrate on the clay from Karbala, rather it is highly recommended.
Shias prefer to prostrate on the earth of Karbala because of the importance given to it by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH and the infallible Imams. After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, his son Imam Zain al-Abedeen picked up some earth, declared it to be sacred dust, and kept it in his personal posession. The Imams used to prostrate on it and recite glorifications and divine praises from beads made from the earth. (Al-Manaaqib vol 2 pg 251 by Ibne Shahre Aashob)
