 ==Joining Imam al-Hussain==
-After Imam al-Hussain's carvan reached Karbala, Salim and a number of people from Banu Kalb joint Imam's army. He was martyred on the Day of Ashura. In the book, Ibsar al-'ayn'', Ibn Shahrashub is quoted as saying that Salim was martyred within the first attack on the Day of Ashura.

However, he is mentioned as martyr of Karbala in Ziyara al-Shuhada as cited in books of hadiths, such as ''Iqbal al-a'mal'' and ''Bihar al-anwar'': "peace be upon Salim the servant of Banu l-Madina Kalbi".

Muhammad Taqi Shushtari has cast doubts over the existence of such a person.''
