Sakīna bint al-Ḥusayn (Arabic: سكينة بنت الحسين) (between 667 and 671 CE – 8 April 671), also known as Āmina (Arabic: آمنة), was a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She was the daughter of Husayn ibn Ali, the third Shia Imam, and Rubab bint Imra al-Qais. Sakina was a young child in 680 at Karbala, where she witnessed the massacre of her father and his supporters by the forces of the Umayyad caliph Yazid (r. 676–680). The women and children, among them Sakina, were marched to the capital Damascus, where they were paraded in the streets and then imprisoned.
