and he died in Medina during the caliphate of ʿUmar.

• ʿAlqamah ibn ʿAllāthah ibn ʿAwf al-ʿĀmirī al-Kilābī, one of the muʾallafa qulūbuhum (tribal leaders whose allegiance had been won over). He embraced Islam at the Prophet’s own hand—Allah bless him and grant him peace—and was counted among the nobles of his people. He normally dwelt in Tihāmah, travelled to Damascus before its conquest to pursue an inheritance, and later paid a visit to ʿUmar during his caliphate. Anas related hadith from him.

• ʿAlqamah ibn Mujazziz ibn al-Aʿwar al-Mudlijī. The Prophet—Allah bless him and grant him peace—appointed him over one of his detachments, and Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq assigned him to the Palestinian front. He was present with ʿUmar at al-Jābiyah, after which ʿUmar sent him at the head of an army of three hundred to Abyssinia; they all drowned. Another report states that this occurred in the days of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān. His father Mujazziz was famed for qiyāfah (tracking and physiognomy).

Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah transmitted from him the report of Abū ʿUbaydah’s arrival with funds from Bahrain; al-Bukhārī recorded it in his Ṣaḥīḥ. ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with him—led the funeral prayer over him.

• ʿUmārah ibn al-Walīd, brother of Khālid ibn al-Walīd, of the Makhzūm clan. Al-Wāqidī relates, on the authority of ʿAbd Allah ibn Jaʿfar from Ibn Abī ʿAwn, that when the affair of ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ in Abyssinia occurred, the Negus dealt with ʿUmārah ibn al-Walīd as he did, ordering a group of sorceresses to blow upon his genitals, whereupon he went mad and wandered with the wild beasts. During the caliphate of ʿUmar, his cousin ʿAbd Allah ibn Abī Rabīʿah set out after him, lying in wait at a watering place in Abyssinia that he frequented. ʿUmārah came in the midst of a herd of onagers, but when he caught the scent
