Despite several attempts by Husain (ra) to seek a peaceful resolution, Umar bin Sa’d lined up his army to begin the battle. However, Husain (ra) asked him to delay the battle until the next day, which he accepted.
Husain (ra) spent the night in prayers and worship. He also asked his comrades, who numbered approximately 72, to leave under the cover of the night to save themselves, but they all refused to abandon him.
