Ḥujr ibn ʿAdī al-Kindī (
tabi'i.[3][4] He belonged to the tribe of Kinda. According to some narrations, his last wish was that his son should be executed before him lest death terrify him (his son) and therefore accede to the condition of cursing Ali.[5]
Hujr was given two titles: "al-Kindi" and "al-Adbar". The first title was "al-Kindi", meaning The Person From Syrian capital Damascus. A mosque had been built around his grave which became a pilgrimage site for Muslims.[citation needed]
