Murazim

Murazim b. Hakim al- Azdi al- Mada'ini reported traditions on the authority of al- Sadiq and al- Kazim, peace be on them. He was killed during the days of al- Rida, peace be on him.

Murazim and Musadif, al- Sadiq's servant, went with al- Sadiq to because Hira al- Mansur summoned him to go there. When al- Mansur permitted al- Sadiq to come back to Medina, he left Hira in the evening. On his way to Medina, a man called 'Ashir stopped him and prevented him from .going. So, Murazim and Musadif asked the Imam to allow them to kill 'Ashir, but the Imam refused that. The Imam did his best to convince 'Ashir to allow them to go to Medina. Anyhow, 'Ashir let them go while most of the night passed. This shows us that Murazim was a close companion of the Imam. Heloved the Imam very much, followed him, and carried out his orders.

Al- Najashy and the like said: "Al- Rashid sent for Murazim and his brother(582) frequently. One day, he sent for Murazim, his brother and Abd al- Hamid b. Ghauwas. He killed Abd al- Hamid, while Murazim and his brother were safe.
