Ibrahim al-Mujab

Ibrāhīm Mojāb was the grandson of Musa al-Kadhim, the seventh of the Twelve Imams, and the son of Muhammad (known as Al-Abid).

Ibrahim al-Mujab was a direct descendant of Husayn ibn Ali, it is said whenever he came to visit Husayn and greeted him by salams, he always received a reply from him from within Husayn's shrine, hence the name Mujab, “The one who is Answered”. After his martyrdom Ibrahim al-Mujab was buried in the Imam Husayn Shrine.

Ibrahim al-Mujab was caretaker of the Shrine of Hussain and is buried inside.
