Muhsin ibn Ali (Arabic: مُحْسِن ٱبْن عَلِيّ), also spelled Mohsin, was the youngest son of Fatima bint Muhammad and Ali ibn Abi Talib, and thus a maternal grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was a brother of Husayn and Hasan. Controversy surrounds the fate of Muhsin as some canonical Shia sources report that Muhsin died in miscarriage, following a raid on her house led by Umar, a companion of Muhammad.[1] Alternatively, Sunnis hold that Muhsin died in infancy of natural causes.[2][3][4]
