At | 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). | ||
