According to sources, at the beginning of the battle, the Syrian army arrived at the Euphrates first and, upon the arrival of the Iraqi army, prevented them from accessing the water under Muawiyah's orders. After the Iraqis gained control of the Euphrates, Imam Ali (a) prevented his army from denying water to the Syrians. During the Battle of Siffin, Ammar ibn Yasir, a companion of the Prophet (SAWA), was martyred while fighting alongside Imam Ali (a). The Prophet (SAWA) had previously foretold that Ammar's killers would be a sinful and rebellious group.
