In some historical sources, the names of the seven children of Hazrat Imam Hasan Mojtabi (peace be upon him) who were present at the Karbala incident under Hazrat Seyyed al-Shohda (peace be upon him) are mentioned as follows: Qasim bin Hasan, Ahmad bin Hasan, Abu Bakr bin Hasan, Abdullah bin Hassan, who have reported the martyrdom of two people named Abdullah bin Hassan in some Muqatil; One of them was martyred on the battlefield after the war, and the other was the young son of Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him), who came out of the tent in the last moments of Imam Hussain's life (peace be upon him).

 

He went to his uncle's side and was martyred in his arms. Another son of Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) who was present in Karbala is mentioned as Hassan bin Hassan, who was injured in the battle of Nineveh. He was also called Hassan Muthni and Amr bin Hassan. Some sources refer to his martyrdom, while others say he was a minor and was not killed. Some sources have reported the martyrdom of another son of Hazrat Imam Hasan (peace be upon him), Bishr bin Hasan.

​

Some sources mention the martyrdom of three children of Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) in Karbala.

​

In the pilgrimage of the martyrs of Karbala issued from the Holy District, the three children of Hazrat Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) were greeted as follows:

​

“Peace be upon Abu Bakr bin Al-Hasan Al-Zaki, the guardian who was shot with an evil arrow. May God curse his killer, Abdullah bin Uqba Al-Ghanawi. Peace be upon Abdullah b Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Zaki. May God curse his killer and his shooter, Harmala bin Kahil Al-Asadi. May peace be upon Al-Qasim bin Al-Hasan bin Ali, who was struck on the head. When the two good deeds called on his uncle, then his uncle, like the falcon, came to him and embraced him. May God protect him on a day when he will be many, but his helper will be few. May God put me with you on the day he gathered you and give me your resting place. May God curse your killer, Omar bin Saad bin Urwa b Nufayl al-Azdi, and send him into hell and prepare for him a painful punishment”(1).

​

The Martyrdom of Ahmad bin Al-Hassan

In some sources, it is mentioned that Ahmad bin Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the field after Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him). Some sources introduce Abu Bakr bin Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) as the person who came after Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him) to rush to the battlefield:

​

In the book of Al-Dariin's collection, it is written about the battle of Ahmad bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace):

​

According to what was narrated by Muhammad bin Muslim bin Qutaybah in the book of knowledge and Al-Hussein bin Al-Hasan in the book of the history of Al-Khamis. He said: Ahmad bin Al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) and his two sisters, Umm Al-Hassan and Umm Al-Khair. Their mother is Umm Bishr bint Abi Masoud Al-Ansari, and his name is Uqba bin Omar. He went out with his uncle Al-Hussein bin Ali (peace be upon him) bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him). His mother and two sisters moved from Medina to Mecca and then to Karbala.

​

Abu Mikhnaf said: When the fighting intensified after the noon prayer and only a small group of his household remained with him, he started calling out: “And you have left him thirsty, and the few who have supported him.” Then two boys emerged from the tent as if they were two moons: one of them was named Ahmad, and the other was named Al-Qasim. He was fourteen years old, and it was said that he was thirteen years old. He attacked the people and fought until his swordsman was killed.

​

Then his brother Ahmad bin Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) emerged after him, and he was sixteen years old. He became a leader among the people and began to say:

​

''I am the son of Imam Ben Ali I will hit you with the sword until it rots We and the House of God are the children of the Prophet I stab you with a spear in the middle of the canal.''

​

He continued fighting until he killed eighty of the people. Then he returned to his uncle Al-Hussein (peace be upon him), and his eyes were deep in the back of his head due to extreme thirst. He called out: O uncle, should I drink water to cool my liver and strengthen myself against the enemies? Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) said to him: “O son of the brother, be patient for a little while until you meet your grandfather, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, so he may give you a drink of water so that you will never be thirsty again.” So the boy returned to the people and carried on them and started saying:

​

''Be patient for a while, as semen comes after thirst My spirit is shriveled in jihad I do not fear death, because death is a monster When I met, I was not trembling.''

​

He fought until he was severely wounded, and a large group of people sympathized with him and killed him in the heat of war, while his mother and sisters were looking at him when he was killed, may God be pleased with him (2).

​

According to what Muhammad bin Muslim bin Qutiba narrated in the book "Ma'arif" and Husayn bin Hasan in the book "Tarikh Khamis": Ahmad bin Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (may God bless him and grant him peace) and his sisters Umm al-Hasan and Umm al-Khair. Their mother Umm Bishr is the daughter of Abu Masoud Ansari and her name is Uqbah bin Umar, who went with her uncle Hussain bin Ali (peace be upon him) and her mother and sisters from Madinah to Makkah and from Makkah to Karbala.

​

He fought until he made eighty people understand. While his eyes were black and his head was getting confused due to extreme thirst and thirst, he turned to his honorable uncle Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). He expressed:

​

"O my noble uncle, can I find a sip of water with which I can quench my thirst and gain strength to fight against the enemies?" Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) said: "O son of our dear brother, be patient with your thirst for a little while until you meet your noble grandfather, the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his family). He will give you a sip of water that you will never feel thirsty again."

​

So that young man returned to the battlefield and attacked the enemies and said:

​

"Do not be patient with thirst and without a little time, because reaching the end of the dream after suffering and hardship will be thirst. As my soul rushes to the gardens of Janan in the Jihad of the infidels, I am not afraid of my death, while death is terrifying. My limbs do not tremble when meeting enemies."

​

And he fought until he received a deep wound, so a large crowd came upon him and killed him around the battlefield, while his mother and sister were watching him. May Allah bless him and grant him peace.

​

About the battle of Ahmad bin Hasan (may God be pleased with him) after returning to Hazrat Seyyed al-Shahda (peace be upon him) and asking for water, it has been narrated in the book Dama al-Sakbah wa Mohen al-Abrar:

​

He continued fighting until he killed eighty of the people’s knights and returned to his uncle Al-Hussein (peace be upon him), and his eyes were welling up in the back of his head due to extreme thirst. He was calling out: "O uncle, should I drink water to strengthen myself against the enemies of God Almighty? Then he, peace be upon him, said to him: Be patient for a little while until you meet your grandfather, the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family), and he will give you a drink of water that you will never feel thirsty again."

 

So he returned to the people and attacked them and set out, saying:

​

"Be patient for a little while, as after thirst My soul shrinks in jihad I do not fear death because death is a monster And I was not trembling when we met."

​

Then he carried the traces of his poetry to the people and recited these verses, saying:

​

"Here is a beating from Bani Mukhtar The baby's head turns gray when he falls He will annihilate the entire community of infidels With every cheer, he attacked a herd."

​

Then he attacked the people and killed sixty of them, then he was killed.

​

In some narrations, Hani bin Shabib Al-Hadrami killed him, and his face turned black. May God Almighty curse him (3).

​

He fought continuously until he brought eighty people of the enemy to understanding and returned from the field to his uncle Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) while his vision was going black and he called out: O my noble uncle, is there any water that can be renewed to fight against the enemies? power up Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) said: Be patient with your thirst and thirst for a little while until you meet your noble grandfather, the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his family). He will give you water with a sip of water that you will never drink after drinking. Don't be thirsty. So he returned to the battlefield and attacked them while chanting:

​

"That is, don't be patient with thirst and without a little time, because reaching the end of your desire after suffering and hardship will be thirst. My soul is rushing towards the gardens of Janan in the jihad of the infidels. I am not afraid of my death when death is dangerous. My limbs do not tremble when meeting enemies."

​

Then he attacked the enemies and chanted the following:

​

"Keep your life away from the sword of the children of Ahmad Mukhtar (peace be upon him). The infant becomes white. We will destroy the group of infidels and the group of fajrans with the sharp Indian sword of death."

​

He killed sixty riders until he was martyred.

​

In some narrations, Hani bin Shabib Hazrami (may God blacken his face and curse him) martyred him (4).

​

The Martyrdom of Abu Bakr bin Hassan

Most Muqatil have spoken about the martyrdom of Abu Bakr bin Hasan at the hands of Abdullah bin Uqbah al-Ghanwi and mentioned his mother as Umm Walad, which is the same mother of Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him) (5).

​

Some Muqatil mentioned that after the martyrdom of Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him), Abu Bakr bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace) went to the field to fight. In some sources, Ahmad bin Hasan (may God be pleased with him) is mentioned to have then gone to the battlefield after Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him).

​

Abu Al Faraj mentions the martyrdom of Abu Bakr bin Hasan (may God be pleased with him) before Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him), but Tabari, Jazri, Sheikh Mufid, and others mentioned him after Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him) (6).

​

Tabarsi in the declaration of al-Wari after the martyrdom of Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him) and after the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hussain (peace be upon him) in the arms of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shahada (peace be upon him) from the shooting of Abdullah bin Uqba al-Ghanwi towards Abu Bakr bin Hassan (may God be pleased with him) reported his martyrdom:

​

Then Al-Hussein sat in front of the tent, and his son Abdullah bin Al-Hussein was brought when he was a child. He made him sit on his lap, and a man from Banu Asad took an arrow and slaughtered him. Al-Hussein received some of its blood, filling his palm and pouring it on the earth. Then he said: “My Lord, if You have withheld from us victory from heaven, you will make it for what is good and take revenge on these wrongdoers.” Then he turned it around until he placed it among the dead of its people, and Abdullah bin Uqba Al-Ghanawi threw a bullet at Abu Bakr bin Al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) (7).

​

Hazrat Seyyed al-Shahada (peace be upon him) sat by the side of the tent and held his nursing baby in his hand. At this time, a man from Bani Asad shot an arrow towards the Prophet. The arrow hit the throat of the nursing baby and cut off his head. They took his blood and poured it on the ground. After this, they said: O Allah, if it is in our interest that you do not help us now, have mercy on us and take our revenge on these oppressors. He threw it at Abab Bakr bin Hasan bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and martyred him (8).

​

I was present in front of Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) when he killed Abu Bakr bin Hassan (may God be pleased with him) when Uqba al-Ghanawi fell asleep while he was asleep. He added: “And in the hadith of Amr bin Shamar, on the authority of Jabir, on the authority of Abu Jaafar: that Uqba al-Ghanawi killed him” (9).

​

In the hadith of Umayr and Ibn Shamar, it is from the fifth Imam (a.s.) that: Aqaba Ghanavi killed him (10).

​

In the book "Ibsar al-Ain fi Ansar al-Husayn (peace be upon him)," it is stated about the blood lust of Abu Bakr bin Hasan (may God be pleased with him):

​

It was narrated that Uqba al-Ghanawi was the one who killed him, and Sulayman bin Qattah meant him when he said:

​

"And Ghani has a drop of our blood We will reward them one day for it wherever it is found If Qais becomes poor, we will compensate her poor And Qais will kill us if the sandal slips" (11).

​

It has been reported that his killer was Uqaba Ghanvi, and Suleiman bin Qatta means this person in these poems. There is a drop of our blood in the Ghani clan, and we will take revenge on them one day. When the Qays fell into poverty, we compensated their poverty and poverty, but when the tide turned, the Qays started killing us (12).

​

It is said in Ziarate about him: "Peace be upon Abi Bakr bin al-Hasan al-Zakii al-Marmi. Cursed by Allah is the one who killed him: Ghanwi” (13).

 

Hasan Mushani (Radwanullah alaihi): An Injured Survivor of Karbala

Hassan bin Hassan (may God bless him and grant him peace) is one of the other children of Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him), known as Hassan Mushani. On the day of Ashura, he fought at the foot of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shuhada (peace be upon him). After killing a number of enemies, wounds and injuries landed on his body, and he fell unconscious on the ground. When they wanted to separate the heads of the martyrs of Karbala, they found him alive. Asma bin Al-Khaih interceded for him, and he returned to Madinah after he recovered.

In Bihar al-Anwar, this incident is reported as follows:

​

Al-Hassan bin Al-Hassan was present with his uncle Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) on the Day of Al-Taf. When Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) was killed and the rest of his family were captured, Asma’ bint [bin Kha] came to him. Then he snatched him from among the captives and said, “By God, he will never reach Ibn Khawlah.” Then Omar said Ibn Saad called for Abu Hassan, his sister’s son, and it is said that he was captured and had wounds from which he was healed.

​

It was narrated that Al-Hassan bin Al-Hassan (peace be upon him) proposed to his uncle Al-Hussein (peace be upon him), one of his two daughters. Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) said to him, “Choose, my son, the one that is most beloved to you, so be patient, O Al-Hassan, and he was not at a loss for an answer.” Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) said to him, “I have chosen for you my daughter Fatima, for she is the older of the two.” A resemblance to Fatima, my mother, the daughter of the Messenger of God (PBUH)” (14).

​

Hasan bin Hassan was in Karbala with his uncle Imam Hussein (peace be upon him). When Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) was martyred and the rest of us who survived were captured, Asma bin Zahain came and took him out from among the captives and said: I swear to God that no one should ever disturb this son of Khola. Omar bin Saad said: Forgive Asma's sister's son. It is said that Hassan was captured and his body was injured, then those injuries were treated.

​

It is narrated that Hassan bin Hassan proposed to one of the two daughters of Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) said to him: O my dear son, choose whichever one you like. Hassan was shy and did not answer. Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) said: I chose Fatimah for you because this Fatimah is more similar to my mother, Fatimah Zahra.

​

Hassan bin Hassan died at the age of thirty-five, and his brother Zaid bin Hassan was alive after him (15).

​

In the book of hidden truths, it is mentioned that they martyred him:

When Hassan Muthani recovered, he went to Madinah, where he was known as the wounded in the Karbala incident. He was a zealous and awe-inspiring man who spoke openly to the extent that Abdul Malik Marwan was afraid of him. Wherever he walked, he defined the issues of Karbala and kept that event alive. Abdul Malik Marwan recognized him as a disturbing and opposing element, so he ordered him to be poisoned at the age of thirty-five, and he was martyred. After his martyrdom, his body was buried in Baqi' (16).

​

Maktal Muqram writes about this son of Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him):

And among the sons of Imam Al-Hasan Al-Mujtaba, Zaid, Amr, and Al-Hasan Al-Muthanna, he was taken prisoner after killing seventeen men, and he suffered eighteen wounds and his right hand was cut off. Asma bin Kharijah Al-Fazari took him away because “Umm Al-Muthanna” was a Fazari, so Ibn Saad left him to him (17).

​

From the children of Imam Hasan Mujtaba (peace be upon him) were Zayd, Amr, and Hasan Muthani. After killing seventeen people and wounding eighteen and his right hand was cut off, Hassan Muthani was taken prisoner, and Asma bin Khahirah Fazari took him from Ibn Saad (18).

​

Other sources have also spoken about the salvation of this child of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him):

Another son of Imam Hasan Mojtabi (peace be upon him), Hassan bin Hassan, is known as "Al-Muthani," who fought heroically with his uncle Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) in the Karbala campaign. He continued fighting until he fell to the ground due to many wounds. People thought that he was killed, and when they tried to cut off his head, it turned out that he was still alive. At this time, Asma son of Kahira Al-Fazari interceded for him because his mother was Fazari. Asma treated him, and he recovered (19).

​

Hasan Mushani bin Al-Imam al-Mujtabi (peace be upon him), whose mother was Khula, the daughter of Manzoor bin Rayan Fazari, went to the field and killed seventeen people until he lost his ability due to the number of injuries. He fell to the ground among the slain companions. Because Imam (peace be upon him) made a martyr, they wanted to separate the head of Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace) like other martyrs, but saw a little inside of him. Umar bin Sa'd was informed. Asma bin Al-Ainiyah bin Badr al-Fazari came and took him aside and said: Never reach Ibn Hawlah. If he does what he knows, Umar would accept it. When they took him with the captives to Ibn Marjaneh, he said: Fight for Hasan Ibn Akhrat. Call him by name. Asma took his name and treated him until he recovered. It is surprising that Ibn Athir objected like this in full: "And Istsgharwa al-Hasan bin al-Hasan bin Ali and Umm Khula bint Manzoor bin Rayan al-Fazari" (20).

​

As the author of the book "Qamqam Zakhar and Samsam Batar" mentioned with surprise, limited sources have spoken about Hasan bin Hasan being a minor and his survival. In the book "Tadzirah al-Khawas," Hasan bin Hasan is mentioned as the other son of Imam Hassan Mojtabi, who was not killed because of his youth: "And astsaghrawa al-Hasan bin al-Hasan bin Ali, they did not kill him" (21).

​

There is also such a report in Tabari's history:

And Istasghar al-Hasan bin al-Hasan bin Ali and Umm Khula Ibne Manzoor bin Zaban bin Siyar al-Fazari: They also considered Hasan bin Hasan as a minor and did not kill him and let him go, and his mother was Khula Ibne Manzoor bin Zaban bin Siyar al-Fazari (22).

​

Hassan bin Hassan is known as "Al-Muthani." Most of the Hasanis who rebelled against their oppression during the Abbasid era are considered to be his descendants (23).

​

Hassan bin Hassan (peace be upon him) was very honorable and virtuous. He was in charge of the charity of Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) (24).

​

The Martyrdom of Omar bin Hassan

In some Muqatil, the martyrdom of another son of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him), Amr bin Hassan, is mentioned. It has been stated in some historical sources that they did not kill him because of his youth, and he is one of the survivors of the family of Asmat and Tahart after the Karbala event.

​

And from the children of Al-Hassan bin Ali: Abdullah bin Al-Hassan, Al-Qasim bin Al-Hassan, Abu Bakr bin Al-Hassan, and Omar bin Al-Hassan, and he was young, so they were four (25).

​

According to Amr bin Hasan, he is mentioned as one of the martyrs of Karbala. For example, Khwarazmi has included him as one of the martyrs of Taf in his obituary (26).

​

Some have considered him as one of the survivors of the family of Ismat (peace be upon him) after the Karbala event.

​

Ibn Nama Hali (d. 645 A.H.) writes: He was a young child and was about eleven years old when he accompanied his uncle on his journey to Karbala. After the Karbala incident, he went to dinner with others (27).

​

It is stated in the book "Tazikrah al-Khawas": "And Umar bin Al-Hasan bin Ali (peace be upon them) also rejected Umar bin Al-Hassan bin Ali (peace be upon them) who killed him and left him: they also considered Umar bin Hasan to be a minor and did not kill him and let him go" (28).

In Tabari's history, it is said about him:

 

“Omar ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali became belittled, so he was not killed, and his mother was Umm Walad: Umar ibn Hasan, Ra Niz Khardsal, Danstand, O Ra Nakshtand, Rahaish Kardand, and Madrash Umm Wald Bud” (29).

​

The Martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan

In Muqatal and historical books, two of the children of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him) are mentioned by the name of Abdullah bin Hassan. One is a young son of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mojtabi (peace be upon him), who came out of the tent in the last moments of Imam Hussain's life (peace be upon him) and went towards his uncle and was martyred by the arrow of Harmleh bin Kahl. The other is a person who died on the battlefield after the battle and was martyred by the enemies.

​

First, it is related to the martyrdom of a young child in the last moments of the life of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shahada (peace be upon him), who was martyred in his lap:

​

Abdullah bin Hassan (may God bless him and grant him peace) is introduced as the same child who came out of the tent and helped Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) when he was left alone and many wounds were inflicted on his holy body. His uncle is in a hurry. Some fighters also mention another child who came out of the tent and was killed nearby. Still, in the description of the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), it is mentioned that he went to his wounded uncle first. His hand was cut off by a sword strike, and then he was martyred by an arrow in the arms of Hazrat Seyyed al-Shahada (peace be upon him).

​

Abul Faraj Esfahani writes in Muqatil al-Talbeen:

Abdullah bin Al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib and his mother, Bint Al-Salil bin Abdullah, brother of Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajli, and it was said that his mother was the mother of a son, and Abu Jaafar Muhammad bin Ali - according to what we narrated from him - mentioned that Harmalah bin Kahil Al-Asadi killed him (30).

​

Abdullah bin Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib, his mother was the daughter of Salil bin Abdullah, the brother of Jarir bin Abdullah in Jabali. [Jarir bin Abdullah Bajli, who is one of the scholars of the Messenger of God's companions, was the uncle of this lady.] Her mother was Umm Wold, and Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad bin Ali Baqir (peace be upon him) said: The killer of Abdullah bin Al-Hussein was Harmalah bin Kahl Asdi.

Madaini narrates that a man from the family of Hani bin Thabit Qa'zi killed Abdullah bin Al-Hussein (31).

​

Abu Makhnaf in Taf waqah and Ibn Saad in Tabaqat al-Kubari have identified his killer as Harmleh bin Kahl:

And Abdullah bin Al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib was killed. Harmala bin Kahil shot him with an arrow and killed him (32).

​

In the description of the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace), the following is stated in Muqaram:

Then they stayed for a while and returned to Al-Hussein and surrounded him while he was sitting on the ground unable to get up. Abdullah bin Al-Hasan (peace be upon him), who was eleven years old, looked at his uncle, and the people stared at him, so he moved towards his uncle, and Zainab wanted to imprison him. So he escaped from her and came to his uncle, and Bahr bin Ka'b wanted to strike Al-Hussein with a sword, so the boy shouted: O son of a villain, will you strike my uncle? So he hit him, and the boy picked it up with his hand, so he brought it to the skin, and it was hanging. Then the boy shouted: O uncle, and fell on Al-Hussein’s lap, so he hugged him and said: O son of my brother, be patient with what has befallen you and seek goodness in that, for God Almighty will join you with your righteous fathers, and he raised his hands, saying. O God, if you entertain them for a while, then divide them into separate groups and make them into established paths and never please their rulers, for they called us to support us, then they attacked us, fighting us. The boy, Harmalah bin Kahil, shot an arrow and slaughtered him while he was in his uncle’s lap (33).

​

The soldiers stop for a while and then return to Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). While the Imam (peace be upon him) is sitting on the ground and cannot get up, they surround him. Abdullah bin Hasan, who was not more than eleven years old, looks at his uncle who is surrounded by soldiers. He moves quickly towards his uncle. Hazrat Zainab (peace be upon him) wants to stop him, but he runs away and comes to his uncle.

 

Bahr bin Ka'b raises the sword that he brought down on Hazrat Imam Hasan (peace be upon him). This boy shouts:"O evil son, are you hitting my uncle?" The sword comes down. Abdullah puts his hand in front of the sword. The hand hangs on the skin. This boy shouts: "Uncle", he throws himself in the lap of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). The Imam (peace be upon him) hugs him to his chest and says: "O brother's son, be patient with this calamity and know that it is good for you. God Almighty will join you to your worthy fathers." Then he raised his hand and said: "O God, if you have given them time until now, separate them and never let the governors be satisfied with them. They invited us to help, then they rose up to fight with us." Harmala bin Kahl shot an arrow at this boy and slaughtered him in his uncle's lap (34).

​

The martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan (may God be pleased with him) is mentioned similarly in Muthair al-Ahzan's martyrdom. He added that after the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan (may God be pleased with him), Hazrat Imam Hussain (may God bless him and grant him peace) turned to the sky and said: O Allah, if you have met them for a while, separate them and make them a long way, and do not be pleased with them forever: Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) said: O God, if these servants are oppressors and the sin of your profession has made you benefit from your blessings, see, make them a trap and an example for others and never be satisfied with them (35).

​

In Lahouf, the manner of martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) is described as follows:

So Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) was summoned with a piece of cloth, which he tied around his head, and he was summoned with a hood, which he put on and covered himself. They stayed for a while, then they returned to him and surrounded him. Then Abdullah bin Al-Hassan bin Ali (peace be upon him), who was a young boy who had never been a teenager, went out from the presence of women and became increasingly stubborn until he stood next to Al-Hussein (peace be upon him). Then Zainab bint Ali (PBUH) went after him to detain him, but he refused and was very reluctant, so he said, “No, by God, I will not separate from my uncle.” So he fell in love with Bahr bin Ka’b, and it was said that he was free. Millat bin Kahil went to Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) with the sword, and the boy said to him, “Woe to you, you son of evil! Will you kill my uncle?” So he struck him with the sword, so he feared it. The boy was in his hand, so he brought it down to the skin, and it was hanging. Then the boy called out, “Mother,” and Al-Hussein (peace be upon him) took him and hugged him to him and said, “O son of a brother.” Be patient with what has befallen you and seek good in that, for God will join you with your righteous fathers” (36).

​

The narrator says: Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) asked for a cloth and covered his head with it. He put a turban on his head and tied a turban on it.

​

The enemies hesitated for a while and returned to the Imam (peace be upon him) and surrounded him. At this time, Abd Allah bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace), who was a young teenager and had not yet grown his hair on his face, came out from among the women and hurried to the side of Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). Hazrat Zainab, the daughter of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him), reached out to him to stop him. Abd Allah strongly refused and said: I swear to God, I did not separate from my uncle.

​

Bahr bin Ka'b - or Harmala bin Kahl - aimed at Hazrat Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) with a sword. The teenager said: Woe to you, you wicked son, are you going to kill my uncle?

​

He lowered a sword towards the Imam (peace be upon him). Abdullah (may God be pleased with him) raised his hand to protect his uncle's life. The sword cut the hand of Abdullah (may God be pleased with him) to the skin, and his hand was hanging. The teenager screamed, and Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) took the nephew and pulled him into his arms. He said: "My nephew, be patient with what happened to you and know the best of it because God will join you with your righteous father."

​

Harmala bin Kahl shot an arrow toward Abdullah (may God be pleased with him) and killed him in his uncle's lap (37).

​

Among the Maqatil and historical books that the author has seen about the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan (may God bless him and grant him peace), the books "Muntaha Al-Amal," "Manaqib Al Abi Talib (peace be upon them)" (38), "Bihar Anwar" (39), "Jalaa Al-Uyun" (40), and "Qamqam Zakhar and Samsam Batar" (41) reported the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan (may God bless him and grant him peace) in the battlefield after killing fourteen enemies at the hands of Hani bin Thabit Hazrami (may God curse him).

​

At the end of the death of Abdullah bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace) on the battlefield, the following is said:

Some of the commanders of the fighter said that: Abdullah bin Al-Hassan came out after the killing of Al-Qasim (peace be upon him) and he said:

​

"If you deny me, I am the son of Haidara On the outside, like the wind of a cricket I will attack you with the sword, I will measure against the thorn."

​

He killed fourteen men, and Hani bin Thabit al-Hadrami killed him, causing his face to turn black (42).

​

Some Maqatil said that after the martyrdom of Hazrat Qasim (peace be upon him), Abdullah bin Hassan (may God bless him and grant him peace) went to the battlefield and recited:

​

"If you deny me, I am Ibn Haidara. On the enemies like the wind of a cricket I will attack you with the sword, like against the thorn."

​

He attacked and killed fourteen people, so Hani bin Thabit Hazrami (may his face be blackened) ran over him and martyred him.

​

And Abu Al Faraj said: Hazrat Abu Jafar, Imam Muhammad Baqir (peace be upon him), said that Harmala bin Kahl Asda killed him (43).

In the book "Muntaha Al-Amal," after mentioning the martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hasan (may God bless him and grant him peace) on the battlefield, there is another martyrdom of Abdullah bin Hassan in the manner described (44).

​

The Martyrdom of Bishr bin Al-Hasan

The martyrdom of Bishr bin Hassan, the beloved son of Imam Hassan (peace be upon him), is mentioned in Manaqib Ibn Shahr Ashob, volume forty-five, "Bihar al-Anwar" by Allameh Majlisi, and "Al-Avalam" by Bahrani Zikri. In Al-Manaqib, it is possible that Umar's name was Beshar (45).
