'Awsaja al-Asadi]], or [[Hilal b. Hajjaj]]. There are different reports about his fight. It is said that he returned to his mother and wife in the middle of the fight and asked his mother if she was satisfied with him? His mother answered that she would be happy of him when he is killed in the way of Husayn (a)." Also, there are reports about his conversation with his wife then.

There are different reports about the way he was martyred which are mixed with the reports about the martyrdom of ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umayr Kalbi; reports including that his wife also went to the battlefield, grasped his clothes and said that, “I would not return until I am killed with you”, and Imam al-Husayn (a) returned her to the tent with the promise of receiving good rewards in the hereafter; so, she returned to other women. It is said that Wahab killed twelve foot soldiers and nineteen horsemen of the army of Ibn Sa’d. Then, he was taken captive and was beheaded by the order of Ibn Sa’d. Then, they threw his head toward the army of Imam al-Husayn (a).
