Introduction to Sayyidush Shuhada, Hazrat Imam Hussain Radi Allahu Anhu: 

BLESSED BIRTH:

Imam Hussain Radi Allahu Anhu is the beloved son of Hazrat Ali and Bibi Faatima Radi Allahu Anhum and the most beloved grandson of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه و سلم . Imam Hussain was born on the 5th of Shabaanul Muazzam in the year 4 Hijri. After his birth, his milk mother was Ummul Fadhl bint Haaritha, the wife of Hazrat Abbas bin Abdul Mutallib Radi Allahu Anhum.

Rasulullah صلى الله عليه و سلم gave Azaan in his right ear and takbeer in his left ear. Rasulullah صلى الله عليه و سلم then placed his blessed saliva into the mouth of Imam Hussain Radi Allahu Anhu and made dua for him.

On the seventh day, he was named Hussain and his Aqeeqa was made. The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم commanded Bibi Faatima Radi Allahu Anha to remove his hair and to give silver in charity equivalent to the weight of the hair as it had been done for Imam Hassan Radi Allahu Anhu. Hazrat Imam Hussain was groomed in the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صلى الله عليه و سلم .
