Amr ibn Jarmouz (Arabic: عمر بن جرموز) is the man that killed the famous Muslim Sahaba General Zubayr ibn al-Awwam shortly after the Battle of the Camel, while Zubayr withdrew from the army before the battle began due to a hadith that Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib had reminded him with regards to what Muhammad had said to Zubayr: “You will rise up in a battle against Ali ibn Abi Talib”.[1][2]
Death
When the head of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam was presented to Ali ibn Abi Talib by Amr ibn Jarmouz, the Caliph Ali couldn't help but to sob and condemn the murder of his cousin. This reaction caused Amr ibn Jarmouz resentment and, drawing his sword, stabbed it into his own chest.[3]
