Birth of al-Husayn ibn Ali

Al-Husayn, the second grandson of the Prophet ﷺ, was born to Ali and Fatimah. The Prophet performed the aqiqah and named him, as he had done with al-Hasan. The Prophet said of both grandsons: 'These two sons of mine are the leaders of the youth of the people of Paradise.' He once interrupted a sermon, descending from the pulpit to pick up al-Husayn who had stumbled while walking toward him, then returned to the pulpit with al-Husayn in his arms.
