Hujr ibn Uday was a notable member of the early Muslim community. He was contemporary both with the Islamic prophet Muhammad and Ali ibn Abu Talib. He was killed by the first Umayyid Caliph, Mu'awiyah and buried in Adra' (a small town close to Damascus, Syria). Today a mosque is built around his grave and is a pilgrimage site for Shi'ite Muslims.
