However, early Shiite sources of history and 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.
