A group of scholars argue that there was no person named Wahb b. Wahb who participated in the battle of 'Karbala,<ref>''Maqtal-i jāmiʿ-i Sayyid al-shuhadāʾ'', vol. 1, p. 76.</ref> and that his inclusion among the names is an error and innovation. They argue that Wahb b. Wahb is being confused with  [[ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmayr al-Kalbi|'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr al-Kalbi]], one of the martyrs of Karbala that was among the companions of [[Ali ibn Abi Talib|Imam Ali]] and Imam al-Hussain and was mentioned in [[Ziyarah al-Shuhada]]' and Al-Ziyarah al-Rajabiyya li-l-Imam al-Hussain|al-Ziyarah al-Rajabiyya.<ref>Shūshtarī, ''Qāmūs al-rijāl'', vol. 10, p. 448.</ref>

On the other hand, other scholars argue that while similarities may exist between Wahb and [[Abd Allah b. 'Umayr al-Kalbi|'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr]],  the existence of two separate individuals is still plausible due to several key differences in their narratives. For example, the sources described Wahb as Christian who converted to Islam under the guidance of Imam al-Hussain, while,they describe 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr as one of the oldest companions of Imam al-Hussain (who was never a Christian).<ref>Muḥammadī Riyshahrī, ''Dānishnāma-yi Imām Ḥusayn'', vol. 6, p. 381.</ref>
