'''Salim b. Amr b. Abd Allah''' (Arabic: سالِم بن عَمْرو بن عَبْدالله, martyrdom: 61/681) was martyred in the Battle of [[Karbala]]. He accompanied [[Muslim b. ʿAqil b. Abi Talib|Muslim b. Aqil]] in his uprising, and after Muslim's [[martyrdom]], left Kufa to join [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]]'s army. 
==Helping Muslim b. Aqil==
Salim b. Amr b. Abd Allah was a servant of the Banu l-Madina al-Kalbi tribe. As a [[Shiʿa|Shi'a]], Salim helped Muslim b. Aqil in his uprising, and after Muslim's martyrdom, was arrested by Kathir b. Shahab. He  managed to escape [[Obayd-Allah Ibn Ziad|Obayd-Allah b. Ziyad]]'s prison and hide with his own tribe.
==Joining Imam al-Hussain==
After Imam al-Hussain's caravan reached Karbala, Salim and a number of people from Banu Kalb joined the Imam's army. He was martyred on the Day of Ashura. Ibn Shahrashub writes in the book ''Ibsar al-'ayn'' that Salim was martyred during the first attack on the Day of Ashura. However, the same author does not list Salim among the first martyrs in existing copies of his book ''Manaqib''.
==Doubts About Existence==
Salim is mentioned as martyr of Karbala in the version of Ziyara al-Shuhada  that in the Hadith books ''Iqbal al-a'mal'' and ''[[Bihar al-Anwar|Bihar al-anwar]],'' with the phrase, "peace be upon Salim the servant of Banu l-Madina Kalbi". However, early Shiite sources of history and [http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e1010 rijal] do not mention Salim among martyrs of Karbala. Furthermore, he is not mentioned in the version of [[Ziyarat al-Shuhada]] cited in [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]]'s ''al-Mazar'' or in Ibn Mashhadi's'' Al-Mazar.'' Muhammad Taqi Shushtari has cast doubts over the existence of such a person.
