Maytham al-Tammar was a good man. He was one of Imam Ali's companions. From the Imam's knowledge, he learnt a lot. Maytham al-Tammar was in the same prison with Mukhtar . One-day Mukhtar said to him: Ubaidullah bin Ziyad, the unjust man, has killed the grandson of Allah's Apostle. Now he will kill us! Maytham al-Tammar said: My dear Ali has said to me: They will tie you to a date palm trunk. Then they will kill you. They will release Mukhtar from prison. He will kill the unjust tyrant. He will kick his face with his leg.
