—the first pledge—and he is counted among the six men who embraced Islam in Mecca, the earliest of the Helpers. He fought at Badr and the later engagements, and left no offspring.

Thābit ibn Hizzāl of Banū Sālim ibn ʿAwf is said by a number of authorities to have been at Badr, where he was killed that very day.

Abū ʿAqīl ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Thaʿlabah, of Banū Jahjaba, fought at Badr and every subsequent campaign. He was among the chiefs of the Ansar. An arrow struck him at al-Yamāmah; he pulled it out, girded himself, took up his sword, and fought on until he was killed. When his body was found it bore many wounds.

Among the Ansar who were martyred that day were:
• ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAtīk;
• Rāfiʿ ibn Sahl;
• Ḥājib ibn Yazīd al-Ashhalī;
• Sahl ibn ʿAdī;
• Mālik ibn —or Ibn— ʿAtīk, and his brother ʿUmayr ibn Aws;
• Ṭalḥah ibn ʿUtbah of Banū Jahjaba;
• Rabāḥ, the freedman of al-Ḥārith;
• Muʿbad ibn ʿAdī al-ʿAjlānī—though this is disputed;
• Jarū ibn Mālik ibn ʿĀmir al-Ansārī of Banū Jahjaba—some say the name is Jazʾ with a zayn;
• Wudaqa ibn Iyās ibn ʿAmr al-Khazrajī al-Ansārī, one of those present at Badr;
• Jarūl ibn al-ʿAbbās;
• ʿĀmir ibn Thābit;
• Bishr ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Khazrajī;
• Kulayb ibn Tamīm;
• ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUtban;
• Iyās ibn Wadiʿah;
• Usayd ibn Yarbuʿ;
• Saʿd ibn Ḥārithah;
• Sahl ibn Ḥammān;
• Mukhāshan of Ḥimyar; and
• Salamah ibn Masʿūd—others say it was Masʿūd ibn Sinān.
