After an increased amount of praying on Prophet's companion hujur ibn adi's (ra) grave, a group of wahabis from Syria Free Army decided to dig out hujr ibn adi's (ra) grave and relocate his corpse into a remote and hidden place.
Prophet's companion hujr ibn adi's (ra) corpse was dug out and because he was shaheed (martyred) his body seems to be fresh even though hes been dead for about 1400 years and his blood seems to be fresh as well
According to History, Hujr ibn adi was executed because of his support for Hadhrat Ali (r.a)

JNN 03 May 2013 Damascus : Wahhabi extremists have desecrated the shrine & grave of the Companian of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, Hujr idn Adi , and a Loyalist of Hazrat Imam Ali a.s ,near the capital, Damascus.
The militants have reportedly attacked the mausoleum and exhumed the grave of Hujr ibn Adi in the Damascus suburb of Adra, and took his remains to an unknown location.
Hujr – a close companion of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and a staunch supporter of the first Shia Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (PBUH) – led the army of Muslims to victory in several crucial battles.
He and his sons finally fell victim to their loyalty of Imam Ali (PBUH) and were murdered on the orders of the Umayyad Caliph Muawiyah in the year 660 CE.
In addition, several international human rights organizations have accused the militants fighting the Syrian government of committing war crimes.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has condemned the desecration of the ancient grave of a Shia Muslim figure near the Syrian capital by foreign-sponsored militants.
Desecration Condemned by Iraqi P.M Nouri Al Maliki
In a statement issued by his office, Maliki described the attack as a “mean act” that targeted the unity among Muslims, Iraqi media reported on Thursday.
According to reports by online media, anti-Syria militants have attacked the mausoleum and grave of Hujr ibn Adi in the Damascus suburb of Adra, and taken his remains to an unknown location.
“The targeting of the Great Companion’s shrine stands for targeting the Muslims’ cohesion,” the statement added.
Syria has been experiencing a deadly unrest since March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the chaos.
The Syrian government says that the violence is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the insurgents are foreign nationals.
Damascus says the West and its regional allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are supporting the armed groups by financing , funding , training ,and sponsoring these terrorist groups.
Sunni scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi , the founder of the Politiccal Party Jamaat e Islami Pakistan , in his book Caliphs and Kings( Khilafat or Mulookiyat ) writes:“Hajar ibn Adiy was a pious companion of the Prophet (PBUH) and played a vital role in the correction of the Ummah.
During Muawiyah’s reign who introduced the custom of cursing Imam Ali a.s ( Tabarah ) from the pulpit’s of Mosques began, hearts of the Muslims were being bled dry but people bit their tongues fearing death.
In Kufa Hajar ibn Adiy could not remain silent and he began to praise Ali (ra) and condemn Muawiyah. Until Mughira remained the Governor of Kufa, he adopted a lenient attitude towards this, but when Ziyad’s Governorship of Basra was extended to include Kufa, serious altercations arose. He would curse Imam Ali (a.s) during the khutbah and Hajar would refute him.
On one occasion he (Hajar) warned Ziyad for being late for Jummah prayers. Ziyad then arrested him along with twelve of his companions on false accusations of forming an opposition group to overthrow the Khalifa and was cursing the Khalifa. He also gathered witnesses to testify against them alleging that they claimed that khilafath was the exclusive right of the lineage of `Ali ibne Abi Talib and further accused them of creating an uproar, throwing out the commander and of supporting `Abu Turab Imam Ali, of sending blessings upon him and hating his enemies. From amongst these witnesses, Qadi Shudhri’s testimony was used. He later wrote to Muawiyah that the blood and property of people who said they offered Salaah, paid zakaat, and performed Hajj and Umrah, preached right and declared that evil was haram, however if you want to kill them so be it, otherwise forgive them.
The accused were sent to Muawiyah and he sentenced them to death. A condition was placed that if they cursed `Imam Ali (a.s) and showed their hatred to him they would be pardoned. They refused and Hajar ibn Adiy said `I will not say that thing that will displease Allah’.
Finally Hajar ibn Adiy, his son Humaan ibn Hajar and his seven companions were murdered. From amongst them Abdur Rahman bin Hasan was sent back to return with a written instruction that he be murdered in the worst possible manner, Ziyad buried him alive.” chapter 4: “The elimination of freedom of speech”
His mausoleum is in Adra with his son Humaam ibn Hajar’ – a small town just north of Damascus, Syria. A mosque has been built around his grave and is a pilgrimage site for Shī‘a Muslims. His mausoleum was demolished on May 2nd 2013 by the Free Syrian Army.
Hajar or Hijir ia an old Arabic name meaning wisdom (like ‘Aqal’). The name is sometimes incorrectly spelt as; Hajr which means stone or Hujr which means chamber or Hijr which means to migrate. The correct name of the companion of Imam Ali was Hajar or Hijir ibn Adiy.
