Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan al-Mujtaba

Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan belonged to the immediate household of the Prophet through his father, Imam Hasan ibn Ali. Shaykh al-Mufid lists him independently among Imam Hasan's children, and Mus'ab al-Zubayri also records him in the Hasanid genealogy. Both sources identify his mother only as an umm walad and do not preserve her personal name. The blank mother relationship set has therefore been retained rather than completed by conjecture.

The sources preserve very little about his childhood, education, residence, or public activity. No reliable birth year or numerical age is transmitted. Nasab Quraysh states that he left no descendants, and a later genealogical compilation repeats this notice. No securely verified spouse, child, office, teaching role, or written work can be assigned to him.

The clearest event in his life is preserved by Shaykh al-Mufid. Abd al-Rahman accompanied his uncle Imam Husayn on a journey for pilgrimage. He died at al-Abwa while in the state of ihram. The report does not give a year, medical cause, or detailed circumstances, so the profile does not add a chronology that the source itself does not provide.

This report also prevents a major historical confusion. In the same passage, al-Mufid first names other sons of Imam Hasan who were martyred before Imam Husayn at al-Taff, then separately states that Abd al-Rahman died at al-Abwa during pilgrimage. He should therefore not be listed as a Karbala martyr or as one of the captives without different, strong person-specific evidence.

The early source records al-Abwa as his place of death but does not identify an individual grave. No shrine or precise burial marker can be verified for this exact person from the evidence used here. His responsible remembrance rests on accurate genealogy, the report of death in ihram during pilgrimage, and the distinction between his life and the martyrdom narratives of his brothers.
