Who is Ali asghar ?
Ali Asghar , was the youngest child of
Al-Husayn and Rubab bint Imra’ al-Qays . He was martyred during the

quintessence of the innocent victim ."
Rubab and her two children , Sakina and Ali Asghar , accompanied Husayn to Karbala’.
In
hagiography about the Battle , Husayn's camp at one time was cut off
from water supplies and so Husayn went to Yazid's besieging forces to
plead water for the women and children in his camp .
Husayn had brought along Ali Asghar for mercy , but Yazid's soldiers then killed Ali by an arrow to his throat .
Ali Asghar was killed by Hurmala with a three-headed arrow .
At Karbala , Ali Asghar was only six months old . He is honored by Shia as the youngest person killed at the Battle of Karbala .
