On 5th
Ibn-E-Ziad sent his messenger to Shabas bin Rabai and invited him to see him in
Kufa. But he refused and made an excuse of illness. Ibn-E-Ziad realized the
actual reason because Shabas don’t want to fight against Imam Hussain (A.S).
Ibn-E-Ziad again sent message to Shabas and said if you follow the order of
Yazeed then see me and don’t be from the people who don’t believe on Allah.
Upon this Shabas came to Kufa in night so people don’t see him and he was again
asked to participate in this battle against Imam Hussain (A.S). Shabas agreed
and went to Karbala. Shabas was a famous warrior and he was who wrote a letter
to Imam Hussain (A.S) and invited Him to Kufa and said that fields are greenish
and fruits are ready here.
On the 2nd day of Muharram , Imam Hussain with His close companions and family members reached the place called Karbala. Here Imam Hussain horse stopped to move forward. Imam Hussain changed four horses turn by turn but no one move further. Then Imam Hussain asked from the people of that area that what is the name of this place. People told different name like Nainwa . Someone told that one name is also Karbala . Then Imam Hussain ordered to set the camps here and told that we've reached our destination. People told that this place is very barren and unlucky. Then Imam Hussain said that we'll make the luck of this land and will make it a Paradise. Before setting the camps, Imam Hussain purchased this land for 60000 Dirham from the owner a local tribe called Bani Asad.
