Sulayman b. Kathir
Sulaymān b. Kathīr (Arabic: سليمان بن كثير) was among the martyrs of Karbala[1] whose name is mentioned in al-Ziyara al-Rajabiyya for Imam al-Husayn (a)[2] and al-Ziyara for Ali Akbar (a) and other martyrs of Karbala.[3]
Some have considered it possible that he was, in fact, Muslim b. Kathir al-Azdi.[4] No information is found about his personality, life, lineage, or family.
