Muhammad al-Asghar ibn Ali

Muḥammad al-Aṣghar ibn ʿAlī is one of Ali's sons. There are different mentions about who his mother's name is, such as Layla bint Mas'ud, Umama bint Abi al-As, Warha' and Asma bint Umais. Although some sources have not mentioned about his attendance in Karbala, and are actually in doubt about that, there are many sources which consider him among the martyrs of Karbala; and his name is available as martyr in both Shia and Sunni sources.
