Hussain ibn Ali bought the mother of Munjih as a slave from Nufil ibn Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. She married another slave named Sahm who was Munjih's father. Munhij himself became a servant to al-Sajjad.^[1]

When Hussain left Medina to Mecca with his family, Munjih also left Medina with his mother. ^[1]
