There are few reports about his life in the three decades after the demise of the Prophet (s). In the period of the caliphate of Imam 'Ali (a), he accompanied his father and participated in the battles of [[Battle of Siffin|Siffin]], [[Battle of Jamal|Jamal]], and [[Battle of Nahrawan|Nahrawan]] alongside his father. After the demise of Imam 'Ali (a), he followed and supported [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]]. He confirmed the [[treaty between Imam al-Hasan (a) and Mu'awiya]]. Even after the martyrdom of Imam al-Hasan (a), Imam al-Husayn (a) adhered to the treaty until the [[Mu'awiya]]'s death. In response to letters from Kufa which invited him to lead an uprising against Mu'awiya he recommended them to remain patient until the time of Mu'awiya's death. | There are few reports about his life in the three decades after the demise of the Prophet (s).

The imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) coincided with the rule of Mu'awiya, who supposedly respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took pleasure in weakening and subjugating the Shi'a. Imam al-Husayn (a) rebuked Mu'awiya in several cases, he wrote Mu'awiya a letter, condemning him for the murder of [[Hujr b. Adi]]. On another occasion, when Mu'awiya introduced Yazid as his successor, Imam al-Husayn (a) refused to pledge allegiance to him, calling him unfit for leadership and proclaimed himself as the rightful leader of the ummah. The [[sermon of the Imam (a) in Mina]] can also be regarded as a political lecture against the Umayyads. | The imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) coincided with the rule of Mu'awiya, who supposedly respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took pleasure in weakening and subjugating the Shi'a.

After Mu'awiya died, Imam al-Husayn (a) refused to give [[allegiance]] to [[Yazid]] and considered his rise to [[caliphate]] as illegitimate. When al-Walid b. 'Utba, the governor of Medina, was sent to order Imam al-Husayn (a) to either pledge allegiance to Yazid or be killed, Imam al-Husayn (a) made his way from Medina towards [[Mecca]] on [[Rajab 28]], [[60]]/[[May 4]], 680. In the four months he stayed in Mecca, he received [[Letters of People of Kufa to Imam al-Husayn (a)|many letters]] that urged him to assume the leadership of ummah. As Imam (a) and his companions approached Kufa, the army of [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]] intercepted Imam's caravan on Yazid's order. | After Mu'awiya died, Imam al-Husayn (a) refused to give [[allegiance]] to [[Yazid]] and considered his rise to [[caliphate]] as illegitimate.
