Uthman ibn Ali (647–680)

Born 647 CE, died 680 CE.

ʿUthmān ibn ʿAlī (Arabic: عُثْمان اِبِنْ عَلي) was a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Umm al-Banin. He fought in the Battle of Karbala, in which he was martyred. Uthman is highly honored by Muslims for his sacrifice. According to some sources Uthman was 21 and had no children when he was martyred. Uthman and his brothers Abbas, Abdullah, and Ja'far accompanied Husayn ibn Ali in his journey from Mecca to Kufa and were martyred at the Battle of Karbala. Their graves are in the mausoleum of the collective grave of the martyrs of Karbala in the shrine of Husayn ibn Ali.
