When Hussain (ra) entered, the Holy Prophet (saw)’s eyes turned to him. Once, the Holy Prophet (saw) was delivering the Friday Sermon in the Mosque. After completing the prayers, the Holy Prophet (saw) would lift them onto his lap. Sometimes, when the Holy Prophet (saw) was in prostration during prayers, his grandchildren would climb on his back and the Prophet (saw) would remain in prostration for some time. He would enjoy watching them play and would lift them and hold them against his chest with affection. The Holy Prophet (saw) would often go to their house to meet them. ( Al-Nisai).Īmongst the male progeny of the Holy Prophet (saw) none lived to adulthood, hence he naturally loved his young grandchildren, Hussain (ra) and his brother Hassan (ra)1.Ī servant of the Holy Prophet (saw) Hadhrat Anas (ra), said that out of everyone in his household, Hassan (ra) and Hussain (ra) were most loved by the Holy Prophet (saw). The Prophet (saw) himself recited the Adhan (call to prayer) in his ear, as is the custom for newly born Muslim children, and also performed the Aqeeqah ritual (when the baby’s hair is shaved off). ‘Hassan’ means beauty in Arabic, hence ‘Hussain’ means one part of beauty. On 4 th Hijri (four years after the Prophet (saw)’s migration from Makkah to Madinah) he was born to the daughter of the Holy Prophet (saw), Hadhrat Fatimah (ra), and her husband Hadhrat Ali (ra). Hadhrat Imam Hussain (ra) was the blessed grandson of the Holy Prophet (saw).
