'''Al-Mukhtār b. Abī ʿUbayd al-Thaqafī''' (b. [[1]]/622-623 - d. [[Ramadan 14]], [[67]]/[[April 6]], 687) was from [[Ta'if]], the [[Thaqif]] clan. Along with his father and brothers, he fought in the Battle of Al-Jisr when he was young. He hosted [[Muslim b. 'Aqil]] in [[Kufa]] and was imprisoned by [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]] when the [[Event of Karbala]] was taking place. Al-Mukhtar owes his fame to [[Uprising of al-Mukhtar|his uprising]] in revenge of [[Imam al-Husayn]]'s (a) blood, which resulted in the killing of many of those people who took part in killing Imam al-Husayn (a). There is a disagreement regarding al-Muhktar's rise, his religious sect, and his relation with the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. Some believe his rise was with the permission of [[Imam Zayn al-'Abidin (a)]]. After 18 months of rule in [[Kufa]], al-Mukhtar was killed by [[Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr]] in [[67]]/687. His grave, which is next to the [[Mosque of Kufa]], is respected and visited by the Shi'a. | '''Al-Mukhtār b. Abī ʿUbayd al-Thaqafī''' ({{iarabic|المختار بن أبي عبيد الثقفي}}) (b. [[1]]/622-623 - d.
