'''Munjih b. Sahm''' (or Munhij) (Arabic: مُنْجِح أو منحج بن سهم) (d. 61/680) was among martyrs of the battle of [[Karbala]]. Munjih was a slave of [[ʿAli b. al-Hussain|Imam al-Sajjad]] who accompanied the caravan of [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] to Karbala. 

==Biography==
[[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] bought  the mother of Munjih as a slave from Nufil b. Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib. She married another slave named Sahm who was Munjih's father.  Munhij himself became a servant to Imam al-Sajjad.<ref>Al-Shīrāzī, ''Dhakhīra al-dārayn'', p.327.</ref>

When Imam al-Hussain left Medina to Mecca with his supporters and his family, Munjih also left Medina with his mother.<ref>Al-Shīrāzī, ''Dhakhīra al-dārayn'', p.327.</ref> Some sources stated that he accompanied the caravan of Imam al-Hussain.<ref>Samāwī, ''ʾIbsār al-ʿayn'', p.96.</ref>

==In the Battle of Karbala==
Munjih was listed among martyrs of the battle of Karbala on the day [[Ashura]].<ref>Al-Mufīd, ''al-Ikhtiṣāṣ'', p.83; ʾIbn ʾAthīr, ''al-Kāmil'', vol.4, p.93; Ṭabarī, ''Tārīkh al-umam wa al-mulūk'', vol.5, p.469; ʾIbn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', p.478. </ref> However, the exact time of his [[martyrdom]] is not specifically known.

Abi Talib and Imam al-Hussain were martyred according to Ibn Shahr Ashub.<ref>ʾIbn shahrāshūb, ''al-manāqib'', vol.4, p.113.</ref>  The name of  his murderer was Hassan b.
