Historical records show that Muhammad praised Maytham al-Tammar and he would tell Imam Ali that one day your going to have a group of loyal companions (one of whom was Maytham). Umm Salama, a wife of Muhammad, narrates, "There are many nights, I heard Rasullah (Prophet Muhammad) praising (Maytham al-Tammar) in front of Ali ibn abi Talib. In the middle of the night Rasulallah would tell Ali, Ali you know your going to have some loyal companions and of those loyal ones, you'll have Maytham al-Tammar. He will be a loyal companion unlike others."Maytham did not live in Madinah. He (Maytham) was thousands of miles away (in Iraq) and never even met Imam Ali during the lifetime of Muhammad, until his (Imam Ali's) caliphate.
