At the time of his birth, the Prophet (s) foretold his martyrdom and chose al-Husayn as his name. The Prophet (s) introduced him and his brother, [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], as the [[Masters of the Youth of Paradise]]. The Prophet (s) loved the two ([[al-Hasanayn]]) and instructed people to love them. Al-Husayn (a) is one of the [[Ashab al-Kisa']], one of the participants of the [[Mubahala]], and one of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] about whom [[al-Tathir Verse]] is revealed. There are scores of hadiths narrated directly from the Prophet (s) that only add more to the distinctive status of al-Husayn (a).
At his birth, the Prophet (s) foretold the story of his martyrdom and named him al-Husayn. The Prophet (s) introduced him and his older brother, [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], as the [[Masters of the Youth of Paradise]]. The last messenger of Allah (SWT) loved ([[al-Hasanayn]]) and instructed people to love them as well. Al-Husayn (a) is one of the [[Ashab al-Kisa']], one of the participants of the [[Mubahala]], and the last of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] about whom [[al-Tathir Verse]] is revealed. A large number of hadiths narrated directly from the Prophet Muhammad (s) add more to the distinctive status of al-Husayn (a).


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 they remain patient until the time of Mu'awiya's death.
