Hurr was one of the best warriors of Kufa. In some sources, he has been listed, mistakenly, as one of the bodyguards of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad, the ruler of Kufa. However, his appointment as one of the commanders of 'Ubayd Allah's Army (that were mainly from Tamim and Hamdan tribes) to confront Imam al-Husayn (a), his military discipline and full obedience to administrative edicts, can be taken as proofs of his military rank (not necessarily a bodyguard) in 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad's government. | Al-Hurr was one of the best warriors of [[Kufa]]. In some sources, he has been listed, mistakenly, as one of the bodyguards of [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]], the ruler of Kufa.

This assumption is more substantiated by considering the fact that Hurr had no pronounced political affiliation. None of historical sources have reported his faith or political stance during the tense situations of the year 60/680 in [[Kufa]]; only Bal'ami, in a doubtful report, regards him as one of Shi'a who had hidden their faith. | This assumption is more substantiated by considering the fact that al-Hurr had no pronounced political affiliation.
