Editing Battle of Karbala (section)

=== Encounter Hurr’s Army ===
Soon after leaving [[Zubala]], Imam’s Caravan encountered with the soldiers of Yazid under the command of the [[Horr B. Yazid al-Riahi al-Yarbuʾi al-Tamimi|Hurr Bin Yazid Riyahi]] in an area called [[Dhu Husam]], and was forced to change his route as a result. 

When Imam found the army of enemy thirsty, he ordered his companions to give [[water]] to Hurr’s army. Hurr’s mission was to stop Imam Hussain from going forward to Kufa or back to Medina or going anywhere

else. After [[Asr]] prayer, Hurr came to Imam Hussain and asked him to change his course and follow him to ibn Ziad’s court. In response, Imam informed Hurr of the letters of support, he had received from the Kufans, towards whom his party was heading.

Hurr further obeyed Ibn Ziad’s subsequent order to force Imam’s caravan to stop in a deserted area. Thus, Hussain was led to the plain of [[Karbala]], where he was encircled by the troops dispatched by Ibn Ziad under the command of [[Omar Ibn Sa’d|Omar b. Saʿd]]. On 2<sup>nd</sup> Muharram 61 AH, Imam Hussain landed on the shores of the Euphrates at Karbala.
