Abd Allah b. Yaqtar: Difference between revisions

'Abd Allah's father was Yaqtar and his mother was Maymuna. According to some historians, his father was originally from Yemen. Yaqtar was a servant of the Prophet and his wife, Maymuna, worked in the house of [[Ali ibn Abi Talib|Imam Ali]], thus Maymuna took care of Imam al-Hussain in his childhood and became famous as Rida'i mother of Imam. In ''Khulasa al-aqwal fi ma'rifa al-rijal (book)|Khulasa'', al-'Allama al-Hilli mentioned the name of his father as Yaqtar, but al-Tabari mentioned it as Baqtar. Yusufi Gharawi reported al-Tabari's quote and mentioned that, "our sources has recorded Yaqtar."
