According to what is mentioned in sources, Imam al-Husayn (a) went to his tent, sat and praised God and said, "O man, you have made many mistakes in the past and God will ask you for your actions; don't you want to return to Him in these hours and help me so that my grandfather intercedes for you on the [[Day of Judgement]]?" He said, "O son of the [[Prophet (s)]], if I come to help you, I will be killed at the beginning before you, and I do not consent to die but take the horse of mine; by God, I swear no one has ever gone with it to pursue anything except they have reached it and no one has ever chased me unless it has surpassed it and I have been rescued." Imam al-Husayn (a) turned his face from him and said, "I do not either need you or your horse." and then recited this verse from the [[Sura al-Kahf]],

Ibrahim al-Ashtar went to Tikrit with him and appointed him as the agent of taxes in the region. He then distributed the taxes among the companions and sent five thousand Dirhams for him. 'Ubayd Allah became angry and objected and claimed that Ibrahim had taken more for himself. Ibrahim swore that he had not done so, and sent to him more, but he still was not contented and revolted against al-Mukhtar and broke the promise he had with him. He looted the villages around Kufa and killed the agents of al-Mukhtar and confiscated their properties and went to [[Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr]] in [[Basra]]. Then, al-Mukhtar sent some people to destroy his house in Kufa.

When Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr moved to fight with al-Mukhtar, 'Ubayd Allah joined him and participated in the war with al-Mukhtar. But, Mus'ab feared and imprisoned him. After a while, 'Ubayd Allah was released by intercession of some people and began recruiting 300 soldiers. He attacked Kufa after Tikrit and made the situation difficult for Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr. Finally, some of his soldiers left him, and in [[68]]/687-8, he threw himself into [[Euphrates]] to avoid being captured by the army of Mus'ab and was drowned.
