Hilal]] and with the guidance of Tirimmah joined the caravan of [[Imam Hussain]] in [[Udhayb al-Hijanat]]. [[Horr B.

==Martyrdom==
On the Day of [[Ashura]], Amr and his servant with some others first attacked the army of [[Omar Ibn Sa’d|Umar b. Sa'd,]] then the army of Umar b. Sa'd besieged them. [[Abbas B. Ali B. Abu Taleb|Abbas b. Ali]]  attacked the army of Umar b. Sa'd and rescued them. They attacked once again and fought until they were all martyred in one place.<ref>Abū Mikhnaf, ''Waqʿat al-ṭaff'', p. 238-239.</ref> He is buried in the mass grave of the martyrs of Karbala in the Holy Shrine of [[Imam Hussain]].
