Overview
Abd Allah ibn Khabbab was the agent of Ali over al-Mada'in. Al-Mas'udi says that the Kharijites slaughtered him when they gathered around Abd Allah ibn Wahb al-Rasibi, ripped open the belly of his pregnant wife, and killed other women. 2
This was among the causes of Ali's march to Nahrawan (the Battle of Nahrawan). 2
