Early Shiite sources of history and [http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e1010 rijal] did not mention Salim among martyrs of Karbala. 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". However, he is not mentioned in the version of [[Ziyarat al-Shuhada]] cited in [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]]'s al-Mazar'' as well as Ibn Mashhadi's Al-Mazar. Muhammad Taqi Shushtari has cast doubts over the existence of such a person. | Early Shiite sources of history and [http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e1010 rijal] did not mention Salim among martyrs of Karbala.
