3rd 3ashora

Day 3 Four thousand additional troops under the command of Umar ibn Sa'd arrive with instructions from Ubaydu'llah ibn Ziyad that they should prevent Husayn from leaving until he signs a pledge to the Caliph, Yazid. Ibn Sa'd's men prepare for battle and surround Husayn's party, cutting them off from the river, their only source of water.

Today, the children of Hussain were crying in need of water.
Everytime I drink water I cant stop but feel as if there is a stone in my throat.
How can I drink when Hussain and his family were dying out of thirst.
How can mankind be so cruel and so cowardice?

Oh how great was your tolerance ya Hussain. And how great was your patience.
How much you sacrificed for the truth of islam and for justice.
And still today the enemies of your family still kill your followers without mercy.
