Abi 'Ubayd al-Thaqafi]] rose up to take revenge on the murderers of Imam al-Husayn (a) and took the control of [[Kufa]], Ibn Sa’d escaped together with [[Muhammad b. Ash’ath|Muhammad b. Ash’ath b. Qays al-Kindi]] who was also among the major participants of the war in [[Karbala]]; but, when the people of Kufa revolted against Mukhtar, returned to Kufa and together with other chiefs of the opposition against Mukhtar led the opposition; however, when the people of Kufa failed, Ibn Sa’d escaped again from Kufa towards [[Basra]] to take refuge with [[Mus’ab b.
