Masʿūd b. al-Ḥajjāj al-Taymī (Arabic: مسعود بن الحَجّاج التَيمي) was among the companions of Imam al-Husayn (a)[1] who was martyred in the Battle of Karbala.[2]
In his book, Ibsar al-'ayn, al-Samawi acknowledges Mas'ud b. Hajjaj and his son, 'Abd al-Rahman, a renowned and courageous Shi'a from Kufa, belong to the Banu Taym tribe. He recounts that Mas'ud b. Hajjaj and his son, along with Umar b. Sa'd departed from Kufa for Karbala.[3] On the seventh day of Muharram, Mas'ud b. Hajjaj joined Imam al-Husayn (a)[4] and remained steadfast by his side until his martyrdom on the Day of 'Ashura, during the initial attack.[5] His age at the time of his martyrdom is documented as fifty years.[6]
His name is mentioned in the Ziyara al-Shuhada[7] and al-Ziyara al-Rajabiyya for Imam al-Husayn (a).[8]
