Hurs who was the first man prohibiting Husayn
from getting back to Mecca or moving towards Kufa, felt there
was something wrong with what he had done.
He asked Umar not to start war. He advised Umar
to prevent the war. Umar informed him that he was not the man to
decide. It was Ubayid-allah’s decision. Hur thought with himself
and came to Imam. Somebody told him “Hur, you are shivering,
what’s wrong with you”. “It is said that you are the bravest
among all in this army”. He answered “I’m in a great dilemma, I
am between the Heaven and the Hell. I have got to be aware and
take the right direction and choose the correct way.
Riding on his horse, Hur moved towards Imam
Husayn’s group and asked Imam to forgive him. He soon tried to
repent his action. It is a good lesson for those people who make
sins and don’t know if they should repent or not.
Imam forgave him. He got back to the Kufa army
and asked them to stop war and their bad behaviors. Then he
started a brave war. He killed a lot of kufa army and then he
was killed. Imam came to him and saw Hur’s bloody body. “I
admire you. You’re a man of liberty, God had created you a
freeman”. Imam Husayn said “The next one who was killed was
Muslim b. Ausaja, the very man who was in charge of recording
allegiances to Imam Husayn in Kufa when Muslim b. Agil was
active there.
