ʿAmr b. Ḍubayʿa b. Qays b. Thaʿlaba al-Ḍubaʿī (Arabic:عَمرو بن ضُبَيعَة بن قيس بن ثَعلَبة الضُبَعي) or ʾUmar[1] b. Ḍubayʾa (عُمَر بن ضُبَيعَة) was among the martyrs of Karbala. Some have said that he also met the Prophet (s).[2]

He was a brave horseman from Kufa who came to Karbala with the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd. After he saw that the suggestions of Imam al-Husayn (a) were not accepted by the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd and they did not allow him to return, he and a group of others joined Imam (a).[3] He was martyred in the first attack of the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd.

In the Ziyarah al-Shuhada', he has been blessed, "Peace be upon 'Amr b. Dubay'a al-Duba'i."[4].[5]

In Imam al-Husayn's (a) al-Ziyara al-Rajabiyya, Dubay'a b. 'Amr has also been blessed, "Peace be upon Dubay'a b. 'Amr" who seems to be the same 'Amr b. Dubay'a.
