Naʿīm b. ʿAjlān al-Anṣārī (Arabic: نعیم بن عجلان الأنصاري) was one of the Martyrs of Karbala.[1] He was a resident of Kufa and, upon receiving news of Imam al-Husayn's (a) departure for Iraq, he joined the Imam's (a) caravan.[2]
His name is listed in Ziyara al-Shuhada, Ziyara al-Nahiya[3] and the Ziyara al-Rajabiyya of Imam al-Husayn (a),[4] confirming his status as a martyr of Karbala.
Na'im and his brothers, Nadr and Nu'man, lived during the era of Prophet Muhammad (s)[5] and were also among the companions of Imam Ali (a). They both participated in the Battle of Siffin and were commended for their bravery.[6]
Historical accounts indicate that Nu'man, Na'im's brother, served as Imam Ali's (a) governor in Bahrain and Oman.[7] While Na'im was martyred in Karbala, reports suggest his brothers passed away earlier, during the caliphate of Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (a).[8] Certain sources record variant readings of his name as "Nu'm" and his father's name as "'Aylan."[9]
