Qasim ibn Hassan was the youngest son of the second Shia Imam Hassan ibn Ali (PBUT). When Imam Hussain prepared to leave Medina in the month of Rajab 60 A.H. Qasim ibn Hassan’s mother (Umme-e-Farwa) asked Imam Hussain to take her and 13-year-old Qasim with him. In battle of Karbala in a loud and a clear voice Qasim ibn Hassan introduced himself to enemies and cried out a challenge for single combat. He killed several famous warriors who came forward.
Qasim ibn Hassan tried to go on fighting but since he was so young and very thirsty, he couldn’t carry on fighting. After a while Qasim ibn Hassan fell from his horse crying out to Hussain ibn Ali, "O uncle, Accept My Last Salaam." Hussain ibn Ali and Abbas ibn Ali rode out. The soldiers tried to stop them, when finally they came to where Qasim ibn Hassan had fallen they saw a dreadful sight. Qasim ibn Hassan's body had been trampled by the horses of the soldiers who had tried to stop Hussain ibn Ali and Abbas ibn Ali. Was Qasim ibn Hassan’s body carried to the camp to his mother? This is not very clear. It is reported, that Hussain ibn Ali took off his abaa, spread it on to the ground, and gathered the pieces from the ground as one gathers flowers from a garden and took them back to the camps.
