3rd Shia Imam, 670–680
04/01/670 AD inherited
According to the Shi'a, Husayn was the third Imam for a period of ten years after the death of his brother Hasan in 669 AD. All of this time except the last six months coincided with the caliphate of Mu'awiya.
In the nine-year period between Hasan's abdication in AH 41 (660 AD) and his death in AH 49 (669 AD), Hasan and Husayn retreated to Medina, trying to keep aloof from political involvement for or against Mu'awiya.
