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.
