His Name and Lineage
'Amir was son of Muslim from the families of 'Abd al-Qays.[1] According to Mamaqani, Muslim was martyred in the army of Imam Ali (a) in the Battle of Siffin.[2] Some have mentioned that his lineage reached 'Umayra b. Asad.[3] Some contemporary scholars say that, "He was Sa'di and from among the children of Hasan b. Shurayh b. Sa'd."[4] Some others believe that both titles of al-'Abdi and al-Sa'di are descendants of 'Adnan.[5]
Al-Shaykh al-Tusi has mentioned him among the companions of Imam al-Husayn (a) and considers him unknown.[6]
