==In the Battle of Ashura== Murra b. Munqidh was in the army of 'Umar b. Sa'd in the Battle of [[Ashura]]. He speared Ali al-Akbar, making him fall on the ground. In historical sources, he is mentioned as the murderer of Ali al-Akbar. When Ali al-Akbar recited a paean to the effect that "we deserve the [[Prophet Muhammad]] more than [[Shimr b. Dhi l-Jawshan]], 'Umar b. Sa'd, and [[Obayd-Allah Ibn Ziad|'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]]", Murra b. Munqidh al-Abdi said: "I will be blamed with the biggest sin of Arabs if… I do not make his father mourn for him." He is cursed in [[Ziyarah al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa]] as the murderer of Ali al-Akbar.
