Overview

Murra al-Hamadhani, a transmitter who relates in al-Baladhuri a report from Ali ibn Abi Talib (may God be pleased with him): whoever dislikes fighting with him with Mu'awiya should take his stipend and go out to the Daylam to fight them. Murra says: "I was among the elite; we took our stipends and went out to the Daylam, and we were four or five thousand." 1
