al-ʿAbbās, and Abān ibn Saʿīd.

Al-Wāqidī said: What we hold to be firmly established is that the battle of Ajnādīn occurred in Jumādā al-Ūlā and that Abū Bakr received the glad tidings of victory when he was at his very last breath.

Ibn Luhayʿah, through Abū al-Aswad from ʿUrwah, relates that the Muslims who fell on the day of Ajnādīn were: ʿAmr, Abān, and Khālid—the three sons of Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ ibn Umayya; al-Tufayl ibn ʿAmr and ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, both of the tribe of Daws; Ḍirār ibn al-Azwar; ʿIkrimah ibn Abī Jahl ibn Hishām; Salamah ibn Hishām ibn al-Mughīrah, the uncle of ʿIkrimah; Habbār ibn Sufyān al-Makhzūmī; Naʿīm ibn al-Nahhām and Ṣakhr ibn Naṣr, the two ʿAdī clansmen; Hishām ibn al-ʿĀṣ al-Sahmī; and Tamīm and Saʿīd, the sons of al-Ḥārith ibn Qays.

Muḥammad ibn Saʿd records that on that same day Tulayb ibn ʿUmayr was killed; his mother, Arwā, was an aunt of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

According to Abū al-Huwayrith: On the day of Ajnādīn a batrīq (Byzantine patrician) came forward for single combat. ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim—may Allah be pleased with him—rode out to meet him and slew him. Another batrīq then emerged, and after a long duel ʿAbd Allāh killed him as well. ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ urged him not to engage in further single combat, but he replied, “By Allah, I cannot restrain myself.” When the fighting turned into a general mêlée, he was found slain.

Al-Wāqidī observes that he lived for thirty years, and we do not know of any report he transmitted from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It is also said that he was among those who stood firm with the Messenger of Allah on the day of Ḥunayn.

Ibn Jarīr adds that those killed at Ajnādīn included al-Ḥārith ibn Aws ibn ʿAtīk and ʿUthmān ibn Ṭalḥah ibn Abī Ṭalḥah al-ʿAbdarī—so says Ibn Jarīr.
