 === Sending a Messenger to Imam al-Husayn (a) ===
-Ibn Sa'd entered [[Karbala]] on Friday, [[Muharram]] 2 or 3, [[61]]/680 and sent [[Qurra b. Qays al-Hanzali]] to [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] to ask Imam (a) why he (a) has come to [[Iraq]]. Imam (a) replied, "People of [[Kufa]] have asked me to come and thus I have come to Iraq; now if they do not want me, I will come back."
+Ibn Sa'd entered [[Karbala]] on Friday, [[Muharram]] 2 or 3, [[61]]/[[October]] 2 or 3, [[680]] and sent [[Qurra b. Qays al-Hanzali]] to [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] to ask Imam (a) why he (a) has come to [[Iraq]]. Imam (a) replied, "People of [[Kufa]] have asked me to come and thus I have come to Iraq; now if they do not want me, I will come back."
 Ibn Sa'd wrote the answer of Imam (a) to [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad|'Ubayd Allah]], but associates of 'Ubayd Allah such as [[Shimr b. Dhi al-Jawshan]] and others who advocated the war with Imam al-Husayn (a), prevented 'Ubayd Allah from any compromise with Imam al-Husayn (a) and in a letter to Ibn Sa'd who wanted to make a compromise with Imam al-Husayn (a), 'Ubayd Allah wrote that he has to either fight with Imam (a) or leave the command of the army of Kufa to Shimr b. Dhi al-Jawshan; but, when Ibn Sa'd read the letter, he told Shimr that he himself would bet the commander of the army and fight with Imam al-Husayn (a).
