It is reported that when people paid allegiance to Imam Ali (a), al-Husayn (a) delivered a speech. During the [[Battle of Jamal]], he was the commander of the left part of his father's army. In the [[Battle of Siffin]], he delivered a speech, encouraging people to jihad, and became the commander of the right part of the army. It is reported that in this battle, al-Husayn (a) was present in the successful operation for regaining the water from the enemy. Imam Ali (a) described that operation as the first victory achieved because of the blessing of al-Husayn's presence. Imam Ali (a) prevented the two brothers from fighting in the Battle of Siffin out of fear that the progeny of the Prophet (s) might become extinct. Some sources report that al-Husayn (a) participated in the [[Battle of Nahrawan]] as well.
