Maytham was a non-Arab, and because he was the slave of an Asadi woman, he was ascribed to the tribe of [[Bani Asad]]. Later, he was bought and then freed by [[Imam 'Ali (a) ]]. When Imam 'Ali (a) asked him his name, he answered: "Salim". Imam 'Ali (a) said, "The Prophet informed me that your Persian parents named you Maytham." Imam 'Ali (a) then asked him to return to the name which the Prophet called him and he accepted, and was therefore called Abu Salim. His other title was Abu Salih. | Maytham was a non-Arab, and because he was the slave of an Asadi woman, he was ascribed to the tribe of [[Bani Asad]].<ref>al-Kashshi. ''Rijal''. p. 9; al-Mufid.
