When did Hurr ibn Yazid join the Imams side
Answers
Al-Hurr ibn Yazid al Tamimi (Arabic: الحر بن يزيد) was the general[1] of the Ummayad army dispatched from Kufa, Iraq to intercept al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib. The newly appointed governor of Kufa, Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, issued the command to guard all entrances and exits to Kufa in order to intercept al-Husayn for an oath of allegiance to Yazid ibn Mu'awiya ibn Abu Sufyan of the Ummayad dynasty.[2][3] Al-Hurr ibn Yazid al-Tamimi al-Yarbu'i was ordered along with his 1,000 soldiers to sanction al-Husayn and his followers and bring them to Kufa.[4][5] Initially responsible for holding al-Husayn and his followers captive, al-Hurr died fighting on al-Husayn's behalf after decisions fueled by corrupt intentions surfaced from Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad.[6] Provided below is the lineage of al-Hurr and a detailed recital of events that will illuminate what led to al-Hurr's death on the 10th of Muharram 61 AH/680 AD. Al-Hurr's short but provocative mark on history spans less than one week's time, but is embedded with complex details and fatal turns of events that led to the death of al-Husayn during the Battle of Karbala.
