Overview
Ibn Jawn al-Saksaki, one of the two men who killed Ammar ibn Yasir at Siffin, together with Abu al-Adiya al-Amili. 2
The dispute over the spoils
The two men disputed over Ammar's spoils, until Abdallah ibn Amr ibn al-As (may God be pleased with him) turned them away with a hadith of the Prophet about Ammar. 2
The text of the hadith, the man's lineage and his biography need an additional source.
