Hur

Hur

:Hur was the name of one of the high-ranking commanders of the army of Omar-ibn-e-Saad who faced the grandson of the Prophet of Islam Imam Hussain ibn-e-Abi Talib (a.s.), with orders from Yazeed-ibn-Muawiah to either get Hussain's (a.s.) allegiance for his corrupt Khalifat, or kill Hussain (a.s.) and all his friends. It was Hur and his army who first faced Imam Hussain (a.s.), and then kept them under siege, preventing them from getting water.

On the day of Ashura, Hur made a huge decision. Right before the battle started, he left his position and the army he was commanding, and joined Imam Hussain (a.s.), and was the first to be killed in the way of Allah (swt), by the army he used to be a commander of just a few hours earlier. The name "Hur" means free, freeborn, noble, freeman
