Imam Hussain (PBUH) in his path toward Kufa encountered the army of Ubaydallah Ibn Ziyad , the governor of Kufa , led by Horr , a top commander
in the Umayyad army who later changed sides . It is said that when Horr and his one thousand men army initially encountered Imam Hussain (PBUH) and his family and companions on the day of 4th Muharram . Horr and his army were thirsty as they had been on the way to capture Imam Hussain (PBUH) for many days, So Imam Hussein (PBUH) offered his storage of water to Horr, his army , and their horses . It is said that if Imam Hussein (PBUH) had not offered the water to Horr and his army , the water in Imam Hussein (PBUH)’s camp would have lasted until 19th day of Muharram . Horr did not arrest Imam Hussain (PBUH) first , he was waiting for new orders , but told Imam to set a camp in Karbala and stop his journey to Kufa , also he was ordered to prevent Imam Hussain from going back . Imam Hussain (PBUH) and his family were also not allowed to set up tents close to the bank of the Euphrates .
