A Person Would Not Forget Two Types Of Faces In Life... | Hussain Ibn Ali | Life Changing Quotes
al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, (born January 626, Medina, Arabia [now in Saudi Arabia]—died October 10, 680, Karbalāʾ, Iraq), grandson of the Prophet Muhammad through his daughter Faṭimah and son-in-law ʿAli (the first imam of the Shiʿah and the fourth of the Sunni Rashidun caliphs). He is revered by Shiʿi Muslims as the third imam (after ʿAlī and Ḥusayn’s elder brother, Ḥasan).
After the assassination of their father, ʿAli, Ḥasan, and Ḥusayn acquiesced to the rule of the first Umayyad caliph, Muʿawiyah, from whom they received pensions. Ḥusayn, however, refused to recognize the legitimacy of Muʿawiyah’s son and successor, Yazid (April 680). Ḥusayn was then invited by the townsmen of Kufah, a city with a Shiʿi majority, to come there and raise the standard of revolt against the Umayyads. After receiving some favorable indications, Ḥusayn set out for Kufah with a small band of relatives and followers. According to traditional accounts, he met the poet al-Farazdaq on the way and was told that the hearts of the Iraqis were for him, but their swords were for the Umayyads. The governor of Iraq, on behalf of the caliph, sent 4,000 men to arrest Ḥusayn and his small band. They trapped Ḥusayn near the banks of the Euphrates River at a place called Karbalaʾ (October 680). When Ḥusayn refused to surrender, he and his escort were slain, and Ḥusayn’s head was sent to Yazid in Damascus (now in Syria)
