'''ʿAbd Allah b. Yaqtar''' (Arabic:عبد الله بن یقطر ) was [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]]'s representative in Kufa along with [[Muslim b. ʿAqil b. Abi Talib|Muslim b. 'Aqil]]. He was captured by Hussain b. Numayr, a commander of [[Obayd-Allah Ibn Ziad|Ibn Ziyad]] in Qadisiyya.  According to some sources, he refused to curse Imam Ali and Imam al-Hussain therefore was thrown off the Dar al-Khilafa. Other sources attribute this event to Qays b. Musahhar and have included 'Abd Allah among the martyrs of Karbala.
