It has been authentically narrated that Al-Husayn is one of the "Asbat" (grandsons/tribes), as in the : "Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. May Allah love whoever loves Husayn. Husayn is a 'sibt' (grandson/tribe) among the 'Asbat'." Likewise, it was common among the early scholars to refer to Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn as "the two Sibṭayn" (the two grandsons).
