Proud is Imam Jabir the same Imam in this article; Do you know his surname?

Jabir Ibn Abdulla Al-Ansari

Jabir, along with Atiya, were amongst the greatest Shi'as -followers of Imam Ali. They came to Karbala after Imam Hussain's martyrdom. Jabir was born 15 years before the Hijra (journey) of the Prophet in Medeenah. He was originally from the tribe of Khazraj. His father was killed in the battle of Ohod with the Prophet (pbuh&hf). He fought in 18 of the Prophet's battles, and in Sifeeen with the Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib. He was struck with blindness at the end of his life and was killed by Alhajjaj only because of his loyalty to Ahlulbayt in 78 AH at the age of 91.

Law and Proud

Eid Wannaagsan.

Law, why care if he was Shia or Sunni? Most Muslims at that era identified and genuinely accepted that Ali r.a wa the Fourth caliph, and if people want to make a milleage of that, then that is their problem.

It seems to me that this Imam Jabir here to be a person of unknown parentage or lineage.

Did you listen to the tape?
