Overview
Ayan, a client of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas. Al-Baladhuri attributes to him the "Bath of Ayan" in Kufa. 1
He is the one whom al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf sent to Abd Allah ibn al-Jarud al-Abdi from Rustaqabad when he opposed al-Hajjaj and the people followed him in expelling al-Hajjaj from Iraq. When he had delivered the message, Ibn al-Jarud told him that if he were not a messenger he would have killed him. 1
