Ḥujr ibn ʿAdī al-Kindī (Arabic: حُجْر بن عَدِيّ ٱلْكِنْدِيّ) was a supporter of Ali, the fourth Rashidun Caliph for Sunni Muslims and the first Imam for Shia Muslims.
The first title was "al-Kindi", meaning The Person From Kinda, an Arabian tribe.
[6] Hujr, his son Humaam ibn Hajar, and some other companions are buried in Adra, in the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus.
[citation needed] On 2 May 2013, Jabhat al-Nusra attacked the mausoleum and exhumed his remains.
[citation needed] According to a report published in The New York Times, a widely distributed Facebook photo of the desecration of the pilgrimage site gives credit for the exhumation to a man named Abu Anas al-Wazir, or Abu al-Baraa, a leader of a military group called the Islam Brigade of the Free Syrian Army.
