🏴 Today program (July 10) is dedicated to Hurr ibn Yazid Riyahi (p).

Hurr was the commander of a part of Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad's army in Karbala. Both Imam's caravan and al-Hurr's army had arrived at a village called Naynawa when al-Hurr received a letter from Ibn Ziyad, ordering him to pressure the Imam and stop him and his companions in a plain area that has no water or tree.

Being caught in a dilemma and feeling the surveillance of Ibn Ziyad's messenger, Hurr stopped Imam's caravan and refused their suggestion to camp in the nearby village Naynawa. Having no exit, the Imam's caravan camped in Karbala (according to some reports, close to the village 'Aqr) near the Euphrates...

Hurr then regretted his actions, changed side and joined the camp of Imam al-Husayn (a).

He is regarded as the symbol of hope in repentance and its acceptance that leads to eternal salvation.
