Obstructing the Imam (as) and His Companions from Reaching the Water

‘Umar bin Sa‘d received a letter from ‘Ubaidullah bin Ziyad which read [as follows]:

“Prevent al-Husayn and his companions from reaching water. They should not taste [even] a drop of it as was done to the commander of the faithful, ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan, the pious, the chaste and the oppressed!”

So ‘Umar bin Sa‘d dispatched ‘Amru bin al-Hajjaj21 with five hundred horsemen who halted at the banks of the Euphrates and prevented al-Husayn (as) and his companions from drinking [even] a drop from it. This was three days before al-Husayn’s martyrdom.

Ibn Ziyad sent many armed groups to support him till their number became twenty thousand on the night of the 6th Muharram of 61 A.H. Ibn Sa'ad surrounded Husayn (a.s.), putting him in an extremely difficult situation. He cut off water supply from him, his families, and his companions. They all suffered a terrible thirst.

(Manaqib) Ubaydullah started dispatching troops to Karbala until twenty thousand horsemen (Malhoof) gathered with Umar bin Sa’ad till the sixth of Muharram. (Tasleeyatul Majalis).....

......

(Irshad, Tabari) Then Ubaydullah wrote to Umar bin Sa’ad: “Now then! Prevent Husayn and his companions from getting water. They should not get a single drop of water as was done with (Caliph) Usman bin Affan.”

Umar bin Sa’ad immediately sent ‘Amr bin Hajjaj with five hundred horse-men to go to the bank of the river Euphrates and block the supply of water for Imam and his companions. They did not allow them to take even a single drop of water, and that was three days before the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (i.e. the seventh of Muharram)

(Tabari) Ubaydullah bin Haseen Azdi, who was registered (in the army) of the clan of Bajila, called out in a loud voice (Irshad):

“O Husayn! Do you see this water similar to the heavens?

By Allah! You shall not taste even a drop of it until you perish of thirst.”

[S.M.H.A.]

What tactics are the Satanic (Negative) Forces using today to obtain your Oath of Allegiance? 

Obstructing and Cutting off vital/essential  life support (Physical/Spiritual)? 

What is water in spiritual terms today and how its been obstructed/cut off? 

Today's Spiritual thirst?

سُـبْـحَـانَ ٱلله

By Allah,

You, Ubaydullah, shall taste the torching, boiling oil,

Which is fuel for the bellies of the hypocrites.
