There is a hadith from Muhammad al-Baqir according to which a man from the Hamdan tribe martyred him.[3] However, some scholars hold that Abu Bakr's corpse was found in a creek, and so it is not known who martyred him.[3] According to some sources, his grave is located in the mass grave of Hashimid martyrs in the Holy Shrine of Imam al-Hussain near his burial place.[4]
