Hajjiyya, the agent of Rey, Imam Ali imprisoned Yazid and appointed Sa'd to guard him.

About Sa'd, it has been mentioned that he was among the Sahaba|companions of the Prophet (s), but it does not seem that this attribution is correct, since his name has not been mentioned in any sources.


Al-Tustari has cast doubts about him being from Khuza'a tribe and freed by Imam Ali (a).
