شبيب الخارجي

Shabib al-Kharijí, one of the Kharijites in the time of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan. al-Tabari reports his death in the year 77 or 78 AH ¹.

In the year 77 AH al-Hajjaj fought Shabib, until Shabib took refuge in the governor's house in Kufa. At dawn Shabib, his mother and his wife Ghazala entered the Kufa mosque. Abd al-Malik sent Sufyan ibn al-Abrad al-Kalbi, Shabib was defeated, and Ghazala and his mother were killed ².

The story tells that his horse shied at the Dujayl bridge and threw him into the water ².

The book al-Dawla al-Umawiyya by al-Salabi reports that the movement of the Kharijite Shawdhab revived at the beginning of the caliphate of Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik, and that he was killed by Maslama in the year 101 AH ³.

A possible confusion between the two names needs an additional source.
