Habib ibn Madhahir

Habīb ibn Madhāhir al-Asadi (Arabic: حَبِيب ٱبْن مُظَاهِر ٱلْأَسَدِيّ‎) was of the Banu Asad clan, and one of the companions of Ali, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali. He was one of the people of Kufa who sent letters to Husayn ibn Ali (grandson of Muhammad) and invited him to Kufa. Though, when he realized that people of Kufa have broken their allegiance to Husayn, he left Kufa, joined Husayn, and was martyred at the age of 75 while fighting in Husayn's army, in Karbala.[1]

Husayn's army was split into 3 sections, the left flank, the right flank and the Ahl al-bayt. Habib was given the duty of being in charge of the left flank of Husayn's army, despite the fact that he was old.[2] His tomb was included in Imam Husayn Shrine and was located in the southern porch.[3][4]

gollark: It's the same. If you say "y = whatever (in terms of x), dy/dx = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)", this is equivalent to saying "f(x) = whatever (still in terms of x), f'(x) = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)".
gollark: Consider what is done to the x to attain your output of e^(x ln a).
gollark: What?
gollark: Differentiate e^(x ln a) using the chain rule™.
gollark: Seriously. You are making a significant and problematic error.
