7th Muharram-Prevented From Accessing Water

POETRY OF KARBALAA-

As a strategy of war, on the 7th Muharram, they prevented Hazrat Imaam Husaein [Radiyal Laahu ‘Anhu] and his followers from taking water from the river. Seven thousand soldiers comprising, two thousand on mounts and five thousand on foot were ordered to guard the river. The order was that not a drop must be given to the Hussaeini. As you have been informed that the Husaeini camp had women and children in it. 

They were surprised that thousands of soldiers had come to confront them. The surprising aspect of this strategy was that water was being denied to the grandson of the owner of the fountain of Kauser [Maalik-e Kauser] in paradise and the son of the water bearer at Kauser [Saaqi-e-Kauser]
