Battle of Karbala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Yazid's governor, ibn Ziyad, is said by the Shi'a to have sent an army of 30,000 men against Husayn. |
 | | The leader of the force, Umar ibn Sa'ad, finally agreed to Husayn's proposal that the siege be lifted so that Husayn, his family, and his companions could leave Iraq. |
 | | Casualties included Abbas, the half-brother and flag-bearer of Husayn, Ali Akbar, son of Husayn, Qasim, son of Hasan ibn Ali and nephew of Husayn, and Aun and Muhammad, the sons of Zainab bint Ali. |
