Imam 'Ali (a) had promised Maytham a high level in paradise beside himself for his resistance against the governor of [[Kufa]], [[‘Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]]. The Imam had also informed Maytham of his [[martyrdom]], the name of his killer and the story of his execution on a palm tree. He even showed him the exact tree on which he was going to be hung. It is reported that Maytham prayed beside that tree and talked to it. He told the story of his martyrdom to his friends, but once when he told [[Habib b. Mazahir]] in front of others, people began to mock him. | Imam 'Ali (a) had promised Maytham a high level in paradise beside himself for his resistance against the governor of [[Kufa]], [[‘Ubayd Allah b.
