Sa'd b. Mas'ud al-Thaqafi: Difference between revisions

In the [[battle of Jamal]], Sa'd was the commander of Qays and 'Abd al-Qays tribes in the army of Imam Ali (a). At the time of his government in Mada'in, he was informed that a group of [[Khawarij]] led by 'Abd Allah b. Wahab wanted to take Mada'in; so, he equipped an army of 500 soldiers and went to fight with them. Due to deficiency of Sa'd's companions in this battle, 'Abd Allah b. Wahab managed to cross Tigris River and enter the land of Jawkhay and joined the camp of Khawarij in [[Nahrawan]].

At the time of Imam al-Hasan (a), Sa'd was the governor in Mada'in. When Imam (a) was assassinated in Sabat of Mada'in and was injured, he (a) stayed in the house of Sa'd to rest.
