Al-Hussain left al-’Aqaba then set up his camp at Sharaf. In the pre-dawn, he ordered his servants to fill their water bags with water. At midday, he heard a man among his companions crying, “Allahu Akbar!” Al-Hussain asked him about the reason. “I did so upon seeing palm-trees,” said the man, but those who were in his company denied that there could be any palm-trees in such a place, and that what he saw could have been lances and horses' ears.

Al-Hussain swiftly moved there and set up his camp. | Al-Hussain left al-’Aqaba then set up his camp at Sharaf. In the pre-dawn, he ordered his servants to fill their water bags with water.
