Shabib ibn Abd Allah al-Nahshali al-Basri was born into a family from Banu Nahshal tribe, a branch of Banu Taym. He has been mentioned in some Persian sources as the slave of Harith ibn Sari' al-Hamadani who went to Karbala together with Sayf ibn al-Harith al-Hamdani and Malik ibn Abd Allah ibn Sari'.[1] But, this is incompatible with the reports which suggest that he was with Husayn ibn Ali from Medina. However, Mamaqani believed that he was someone other than Shabib ibn Abd Allah Harith ibn Sari' al-Kufi.[2]
Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din has mentioned that Habib ibn Abd Allah was one of the Martyrs of Karbala[3] and also mentioned this probability that Shabib ibn Abd Allah al-Nahshali would be the one who has also been referred to as Habib ibn Abd Allah[4] or Abu Amr al-Nahshali.[5]
