 ===Beginning of the Journey and Problems on the Way===
-Muslim b. 'Aqil left Mecca on [[Ramadan 15]], 60/[[June 19]], [[680]]. He first went to Medina where he deployed two guides and then departed to Kufa. The journey to Medina was apparently intended to hide his intentions of going to Kufa. However, they were lost in the desert and were hungry and thirsty. The two guides died, but Muslim survived and arrived in an oasis, where he sent a messenger to Imam al-Husayn, told him the story, and asked him to cancel his mission because he took the story of his loss as a forewarning. However, the Imam commanded him to go on his way.

-When Imam al-Husayn (a) left Medina to Mecca, he was accompanied by Muslim b. Aqil. When the Imam received letters from the people of Kufa, he sent Muslim to Kufa so that he evaluates the conditions of the city and makes sure about the claims made by Kufis to the effect that the Imam had many followers in the city, and then sends a report to the Imam. According to some hadiths, Imam al-Husayn sent [[Qays b. Mushir al-Saydawi]], [[Umara b. 'Abd al-Saluli]], and [[Abd al-Rahman b. Abd Allah al-Arhabi]] along with Muslim b. 'Aqil to Kufa.
