Overview
Murra Abu Ubayd, the grandfather of Muhammad ibn Zayd ibn Ubayd ibn Murra, and grandfather of Nufay' ibn Muhammad, lord of the castle at al-Harra. Al-Baladhuri says that he was among the captives of Ayn al-Tamr, and that his sons say he was Ubayd ibn Murra ibn al-Mu'alla al-Ansari, then al-Zurqi. 1
He has a connection to the siege of Ayn al-Tamr through the captivity.
The data need an additional source: they record no date of his life, and the attribution to the Ansar is his sons' claim as al-Baladhuri relays it.
