Name and Lineage

Some reports have stated his name as 'Amr.[1] Some also stated his name among the children of Imam al-Husayn (a).[2] But it is famous that he was a child of Imam al-Hasan (a) and his mother was a umm walad (concubine).[3]

The Battle of Karbala

Some historical reports have mentioned that 'Umar b. al-Hasan was martyred in the Battle of Karbala in his young ages.[4] Some have cast doubt on his martyrdom in Karbala.[5] However, most of historians believe he was among the captives of Karbala. In Maqatil al-Talibiyyin, it is said: "The family of Imam al-Husayn (a) were seized as captives, 'Umar, Zayd, and Hasan the children of Imam al-Hasan (a) were among them."[6]

According to al-Tabari: "Yazid brought 'Umar b. al-Hasan and asked him to wrestle with his son, Khalid. 'Umar said not like this; give each of us a knife and we will fight each other. If he kills me, I will join my grandfather, Prophet Muhammad (s) and if I kill him, he will join his ancestors Mu'awiya and Abu Sufyan."[7]

Reliable and well-known historians did not mention the name of 'Umar b. al-Hasan among the Martyrs of Karbala.
