When did Ali Akbar (AS), Ali Asgar (AS), and Moula Abbas Ghazi get martyred?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

According to famous narrations, the first martyr from Ahlul Bayt (AS) in Karbala was Ali Akbar (AS). Maula Abbas (AS) was martyred when he went to bring water for the children of Imam Husain (AS) .Ali Asghar (AS) was martyred later on.

Is it true that Mola Abbas is not a Syed due to not being from the descendants of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (a)?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah 

NO. 

Sayyed or Sayyeda is an Arabic honorific title denoting descendants of prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a). According to fiqh, it is a title given to the descendants of Hashim b. Abd Manaf (the Prophet's great grandfather).

So all the people from the bloodline of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf are Sayyeds or Hashemites. So is Hazrat Abbas may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and raise us all with him. Ameen
Are those who are descendants of Hazrat Abbas (a) referred to as Sadaat? If so, by which name are they referred?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, there are Sadaat from Bani Hashim and there great grandfather is Ameerul Mo’mineen (AS). They have different families and different names in many countries.

What is the difference in the meaning of the terms آل الله and آل رسول? Is using titles like قمرآل الله for Hazrat Abbas or منتقم آل الله for Imam Mahdi appropriate?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Aal Allah آل الله are in fact same as Aal Al-Rasool آل الرسول because Aal Al-Rasool are the pious Progeny of the Messenger whose obedience is obligatory on every Muslim being part and parcel of the obedience of the Prophet (SAWA) which is in fact the obedience of Allah (SWT).

Aal Allah are in fact Aal Al-Rasool as they are the Most obedient servants of Allah.

Wassalam.
