''' | '''Horr B. Yazid al-Riahi al-Yarbuʾi al-Tamimi''' (d. 61/ 680), a leading tribesman in [[Kufa]], who obeyed the orders of [[ʿUbayd-Allah b. Ziad]] by intercepting [[Husayn b. ʿAli]] and his party and leading them to [[Karbala]], but later repented and fought on Husayn’s side which led to Horr’s [[martyrdom]] on the 10th of [[Muharram]], [[Ashura]]. He is regarded as the symbol of hope in repentance which ensures his salvation. | ||

The first meeting between Horr and Imam Husayn was not hostile. However, Horr pressed upon Husayn to change his course and follow him, even after the latter had informed him of the letters of support, he had received from the Kufans, towards whom his party was heading. Horr further obeyed Ibn-e Ziad’s subsequent order to force the rebels to stop in a deserted area. Thus, Husayn was led to the plain of Karbala, where he was encircled by the troops dispatched by Ibn-e Ziad under the command of [[ʿOmar b. Saʿd]]. Once the latter had rejected Husayn’s final proposals and decided to fight him on the morning of [[Ashura]], 10 [[Muharram]] 61/10 October 680, Horr then repented and joined Husayn, who promised him God’s forgiveness. | The first meeting between Horr and Imam Husayn was not hostile.
