Ziyad]] delivered a letter for [[Al-Hurr b. Yazid al-Riyahi]]. [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad|Ibn Ziyad]] wrote to Hurr to be strict on al-Husayn and force him to dwell in a desert with no water. Hurr informed the Imam (a) of the letter. Imam al-Husayn (a) asked Hurr to let him dwell in Ninava, [[Ghadiriyya]] or [[Shufayh]]. But Hurr replied that this was not possible since 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad had spies there. | ||
