Iraqi residents look to regain normality after more violence and clashes disturb Sadr City.
Ibn Ziyad was well prepared for Husayn. Every road leading into Koofa was completely blocked. There were troops stationed at every key-position in and around town. Local leaders were made responsible for reporting any sympathies with Husayn, failing which they would be beheaded.
As soon as news arrived in Koofa of Husayn's approach to the city, a detachment of one thousand cavalry-men was sent to intercept him. The man commanding these troops was Hurr Ibn Yazeed Riyahi, a man of proven military exper-tise.
He also had a great regard for Husayn and the Prophet's family. When Hurr's company met Husayn's caravan, Hurr and his men had lost their way in the desert and both the soldiers as well as the horses were on the verge of dying of thirst in the scorching heat of the desert.
Husayn saw this and immediately ordered his caravan to stop. Water was provided freely and generously to man and animal alike. As soon as Hurr and his troops recovered from exhaustion, Hurr spoke to Husayn and said that his orders were to stop Husayn from entering Koofa at all costs.
