LINEAGE

Hazrat Abd Allah (R.A) was born to Imam Hasan (R.A) who was the son of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (R.A). His father, Imam Hasan (R.A), was the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

LIFE

According to some scholars, Abd Allah ibn al-Hasan (R.A) was 11 years old when he was killed in the Battle of Karbala. During the last moments of Imam Hussain ibn Ali’s life, Bahr ibn Ka’ab was about to strike him when Abd Allah (R.A) came running out of the tents. He stood in his way and shouted “O, son of the corrupt woman! Are you going to strike my uncle?” Abd Allah (R.A) shielded Imam Hussain (R.A) from the stroke of the sword, whereby his hand got cut and began to dangle. Abd Allah (R.A) cried “O, uncle”. Imam Hussain (R.A) took hold of his nephew, drew him to his chest, and said “O, son of my brother! Bear patiently what you have suffered, and consider it good because Allah will make you meet your pious forefathers.” At that point Harmala ibn Kahil threw an arrow at Abd Allah (R.A) and killed him in his uncle’s arms. Thus his life came to a tragic end in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

LEGACY

Hazrat Abd Allah ibn Hasan (R.A) inherited the legacy of bravery that characterized his family. He was raised in an environment deeply rooted in Islamic teachings and principles, under the guidance of his father, Imam Hasan (R.A).
