[[Obayd-Allah ibn Ziad]] ordered [[Omar ibn Sa'd]] to block Hussain ibn Ali and his companions from accessing [[water]] in a letter. On the 7th of [[Muharram]] of the year 61 AH, Omar ibn Sa'd commissioned Amro ibn al-Hajjaj al-Zubaydi and 500 cavalry soldiers to guard the Alghameh river—a branch of the Euphrates—to prevent Imam Hussain's army from accessing the water. On the Day of [[Ashura]] when people in the caravan of Imam Hussain  were extremely thirsty, Yazid asked the Imam for a permission to talk to people of Kufa and [[Umar b. Sa'd]]. The Imam permitted him to do that. Yazid criticized the people of Kufa for blocking the water of the [[Euphrat|Euphrates]], but they responded to him inappropriately. At this time, the Imam said about the army of Kufa that the Satan has taken over them, and the party of the Satan are losers. <ref>Muhaddithī, ''Farhang-i Āshūrā'', quoting from ''Mawsūʿat kalimāt al-Imām al-Ḥusayn'', vol. 7, p. 425.</ref>
