Lineage[]

Abu Bakr was a son of Hasan ibn Ali and his mother was a bondswoman.[1][2] Some believe that he and his broher Qasim were from one mother[1] who is mentioned as Ramla.[3]

On the day of Ashura[]

Abul Faraj considers his martyrdom to have occurred before that of Qasim.[1] He quotes from Madaeni, who through his chain of transmitters quotes from Abu Mikhnaf, from Sulayman bin Rashid that Abu Bakr was martyred by an arrow shot by Abd Allah ibn Uqba al-Ghanawi.[4] But Tabari, Ibn Aseer, Shaikh Mufid and others relate his martyrdom after that of Qasim. [2]

Abu Bakr's name is mentioned in Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa and Ziyarat Rajabiyya and his murderer has been cursed.[5]
