Overview
Al-Musayyib ibn Najaba al-Fazari, one of the notables of the companions of Ali, who took the banner of the Tawwabin after the killing of Sulayman ibn Sard at Ayn al-Warda. 1
In al-Baladhuri
Al-Baladhuri says that Humran ibn Aban al-Tamimi, a captive of Ayn al-Tamr, was in his possession, and Uthman bought him from him and freed him. Then he sent him to Kufa to ask about his governor, and the governor denied him and expelled him from his protection, so he settled in Basra. 2
The banner of the Tawwabin
In al-Mas'udi's account he charged the enemy while reciting verses of war. 1
The relation of this report to the two accounts and the dates of his life are not clear in the data, and need an additional source.
