Now they stood between the Imam’s camp and the river. Each day a new army began to reach Karbala.
Kabhi shimar ka lashkar aata kabhi hurmula ka lakshkar aata! Meraa maula gheer gya tha lashkaron mein! 💔😭
What happened on 3rd Muhharam? (Pls read)
Imam Hussain, his family, and companions had settled in the tents. The children were under the protection of their guardians. But on this day, the first battalion of Yazid under the leadership of Omar Ibn Saad began reached Karbala.
The tents of Imam Hussain were 600 meters to the west of the river and thus had direct access to the river stream. However, as the army of Ibn Saad arrived in Karbala, they erected their tents by the Euphrates river, directly opposite to the camp of Imam Hussain.
