 Maytham was a date-seller in the bazaar of [[Kufa]]; therefore, he was given the title of "al-Tammar", "seller of dates". There are also a few accounts that he was a melon-seller in ''Dar al-Rizq'' (probably the name of a locality in Kufa).
-Maytham was a companion of [[Imam 'Ali (a) ]], [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]] and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], but he is best known as a devout follower of Imam 'Ali (a).  He was a devoted and sincere lover of [[the Prophet]] (s) and his [[household (a) ]], and they were also affectionate towards him. As reported by [[Umm Salama]], the Prophet (s) praised Maytham many times during his life.
