huwai

Jawn bin Huwai (Arabic: جَوْن ٱبْن حُوَيّ‎), also spelled Jawn bin Huwayy, was a Christian freedman who died in battle as part of Hussein ibn Ali's army at the Battle of Karbala on Muharram 10, 61 AH (680 AD). Jawn was a former slave of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. When Abu Dharr was exiled from Medina by Uthman ibn Affan, Jawn went to Ali ibn Abi Talib who invited him to stay on as his companion. When Ali ibn Abi Talib was killed, Jawn stayed with Ali's son Hassan ibn Ali and after Hassan's death, he moved in with Husaynn ibn Ali. When Husayn left Medina, Jawn insisted on accompanying him.
