The first meeting between Horr and Imam Hussain was not hostile. However, Horr pressed upon Hussain 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, Hussain 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 Hussain’s final proposals and decided to fight him on the morning of [[Ashura]], 10 [[Muharram]] 61/10 October 680, Horr then repented and joined Hussain, who promised him God’s forgiveness.
