Rubab bint Imra al-Qais
Rubāb bint Imra’ al-Qays (Arabic: رُبَاب بِنْت ٱمْرِئ ٱلْقَيْس), or Umm Rubāb (Arabic: أُمّ رُبَاب) was a wife of Husayn ibn Ali. She was a daughter of Imra al-Qais, a chief of Banu Kalb, who came to Medina when Umar was Caliph. Ali proposed this marriage, but since Husayn and Qais's daughter were too young at the time, the actual marriage took place later. Husayn had a daughter, Sakinah, and a son, Abd Allah, (or according to recent Shia sources, Ali al-Asghar) from her. Husayn's konya, Abu Abd Allah, is probably refers to this son.[1]
