[[Shaykh al-Tusi]] has listed him among the companions of [[Imam Ali]] (a), [[Imam Hasan]] (a) and [[Imam Husayn]] (a), but he does not mention his name among the companions of the Prophet (s).

Habib went to Kufa with Imam Ali (a) and fought alongside him in all of his combats. He was considered one of Imam’s special companions and bearer of his knowledge. [[Imam Ali]] (a) bestowed upon him ‘Ilm al-Balaya wa al-Manaya (the knowledge of calamities and [time of] deaths).

When [[Ibn Ziyad]] came to Kufa, he threatened people and launched crackdown against allegiance to Muslim; so people abandoned their allegiance to Muslim and lift him alone. The tribe of Bani Asad hid Habib and Muslim b. ‘Awsaja to protect them against Ibn Ziyad’s agents. Habib and Muslim b. ‘Awsaja left Kufa to join Imam Husayn (a). They hid themselves from Ibn Ziyad’s spies and agents, so they moved at nights and hid during days. Eventually, they joined Imam Husyan’s camp in [[Karbala]] on [[Muharram]] 7th 61(October 7th 680). | When [[Ibn Ziyad]] came to Kufa, he threatened people and launched crackdown against allegiance to Muslim; so people abandoned their allegiance to Muslim and lift him alone.
