Abd Allah b. Umayr belonged to Banu Ulaym tribe. Some historical reports about [[Wahb b. Wahb]] or Wahb b. Abd Allah al-Kalbi are similar to reports about Abd Allah b. Umayr which have led some scholars to identify these two and reject the existence of a person named Wahb b. Wahb. However, despite the similar historical reports, there are remarkable differences between them as well. Therefore, it is not unlikely that they are, in fact, two persons especially because it is mentioned in some historical resources that Wahb was a Christian which does not apply to Abd Allah b. Umayr who was a renowned companion of Imam Hussain.
