From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uthman ibn Ali was one of the martyrs in Karbala. He was the brother of Abbas. His mother was Ummul Banin. According to the Shia minority sect of Islam, he said that his father Imam Ali had said: 'I called him Othman because of my brother Othman ibn Madh'oon'. This is highly unlikely because Ali also named his children Abu Bakr and Umar. In Karbala he was hit by an arrow by Khawli ibn Yazid, which made him fall to the ground, then another man came and killed him. He died at the age of 21.[1]
