ʿAbd al-Raḥmān (ʿAbd Allāh) b. Abī Khushkāra al-Bajalī (Arabic: عبدالرحمان (عبدالله) بن ابی‌خُشکاره البَجَلی) was in the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd in the Battle of Karbala. He contributed to the martyrdom of Muslim b. 'Awsaja and was killed at the command of al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi in 66/685-6.

Battle of Karbala

'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Khushkara was in the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd in the Battle of Karbala. He martyred Muslim b. 'Awsaja[1] with the help of Muslim b. 'Abd Allah al-Dababi. He is cursed in Ziyarah al-Shuhada' as a murderer.[2]

On the Day of Ashura, Ibn Abi Khushkara, Ziyad b. Malik al-Dab'i, 'Imran b. Khalid al-'Athri, and 'Abd Allah b. Qays al-Khawlani stole mignonettes (a yellow fragrant seed like sesames used to color clothes and hair as well as for therapy) owned by Imam al-Husayn (a).[3]

His name in the Sources

He is variously mentioned in sources as 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Khushkara,[4] 'Abd Allah b. Khushkara,[5] and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Khushkara.[6] Also in some sources, his name is spelled as Khashkara.

Death

Al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi hunted down the murderers of Imam al-Husayn (a) in late 66/686. Sa'r al-Hanafi reported to al-Mukhtar, and he commissioned 'Abd Allah b. Kamil to find him. Ibn Kamil arrested 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Khushkara, Ziyad b. Malik al-Dab'i, 'Imran b. Khalid al-'Athri, and 'Abd Allah b. Qays al-Khawlani, and took them to al-Mukhtar. They were taken to bazaar and decapitated at the command of al-Mukhtar.[7]
