Kumayl b. Ziyad al-Nakha'i: Difference between revisions

[[Imam Ali (a)]] had foretold Kumayl's demise. Most historians said that he passed away in [[82]]/701, but Tabari said it was in [[83]]/702, and 'Asqalani quoted [[Yahya b. Ma'in]] that it was in [[88]]/707.

He was 70 when he passed away. [[Dhahabi]] narrated from Mada'ini that he was 90.

He was killed by the order of [[Hajjaj .b Yusuf al-Thaqafi]]. Hajjaj summoned him but he fled, so Hajjaj persecuted his relatives and tribe. When he knew that, he went to Hajjaj, and after a conversation between them, Hajjaj gave the order for his execution.

His tomb is located in [[Thuwayya]], on the route of [[Kufa]] to [[Najaf]], near the [[mosque al-Hannana]].
