Abd al-Rahman ibn Muljam
Abd al-Rahman ibn Amr ibn Muljam al-Muradi (Arabic: عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَن ابْنُ عَمْرِو ابْنُ مُلْجَم الْمُرَادِيّ, romanized: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muljam al-Murādī), commonly known simply as Ibn Muljam, was a Kharijite dissident known primarily for assassinating ‘Alī ibn Abi Talib, the fourth caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate and the first Imam of the Shia Imamate.
After death of Ali ibn Abi Talib , his first son Hasan Ibn Ali caught Ibn Muljam and executed him in Kufa.
There were numerous defections from Ali's camp in the aftermath of the Battle of Siffin. A majority of these defectors gathered under one banner and came to be known as the Kharijites. A number of them met in Mecca and discussed the 659 Battle of Nahrawan, which took place as a consequence of Siffin, wherein most of their men were eradicated while facing Ali's army. They concocted a plot to assassinate three prominent Muslim personalities: Amr ibn Bakr al-Tamimi was to kill Amr ibn al-As, al-Hujjaj al-Tamimi was to kill Mu'awiya ibn Abu Sufyan and ibn Muljam was tasked to kill the caliph, Ali. The assassination attempts were to occur simultaneously as the three Muslims came to lead morning prayer in their respective cities of Fustat, Damascus and Kufa. The method was to come out of the prayer ranks and strike the targets with a sword dipped in poison.[additional citation(s) needed]
Amr ibn Bakr al-Tamimi’s assassination attempt on Amr ibn al-As failed on the 22 of January, when he killed Amr's stand-in for the Friday prayers, Kharija ibn Hudhafa, mistaking the latter for his target. When the Kharijite was apprehended and brought before him, Amr ibn al-As exclaimed "You wanted me, but God wanted Kharija!" and he personally executed him.
On 26 January 661, while Ali was praying in the Great Mosque of Kufa, Ibn Muljam struck him with a poison-coated sword. Athir bin Amr as-Sakuni, a leading physician, treated Ali; however, Ali died from his injuries on 28 January.
Three days later, Ali's son, Hasan ibn Ali, personally performed the execution of Ibn Muljam.
