Joining Muslim ibn Aqil

Salim ibn Amr ibn Abd Allah was a servant of the Banu l-Madina al-Kalbi tribe.He lived in kufa.[1] Salim helped Muslim ibn Aqil in his uprising, and after Muslim's martyrdom, was arrested by Kathir ibn Shahab. He managed to escape Obayd-Allah ibn Ziyad's prison and hide with his own tribe.[2]

Joining Hussain

After Hussain's caravan reached Karbala, Salim and a number of people from Banu Kalb joined the Hussain's army. He was martyred on the Day of Ashura.[1] Salim was martyred during the first attack on the Day of Ashura.[3] but, in other resource does not list Salim among the first martyrs.[4]

Salim is mentioned as martyr of Karbala[5] in the version of Ziyara al-Shuhada: "peace be upon Salim the servant of Banu l-Madina Kalbi".[6] However, early Shiite sources of history and rijal do not mention Salim among martyrs of Karbala. [5]
