Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Karbala Historical Resources Account N. 2: Jabir B. Yazid Al-ju`fi The second account is attributed to Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju`fi. He was a well known Shi’i scholar and follower of the Imam al-Baqir. He died in 128[^13]. His account of the martyrdom of the Imam al-Husayn seems to have been preserved by Nasr b. Muzahim on the authority of Jabir's pupil, `Amr b. Shamir. Extracts from Nasr's work are preserved by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani.
In fact Abu al-Faraj has cited very little of Jabir's account. What little there is are the names of some of the killers of the members of the ahl al-bayt, together with a verse which is included in Abu Mikhnaf's account[^14]. The verse tells that the blood shed by the tribesmen will be reckoned against them. Ibn al-Kalbi also reports one narrative from Jabir. This is also on the authority of Jabir's pupil, `Amr b. Shamir.
