• Salamah ibn Hishām—the brother of Abū Jahl—was one of the earliest believers. He emigrated to Abyssinia, then returned to Mecca, where his brother imprisoned him. The Prophet ﷺ used to pray for him and for ʿAyyāsh ibn Abī Rabīʿah during the qunūt. After the Battle of the Trench he escaped and made the Hijrah.

• ʿIkrimah ibn Abī Jahl was martyred at Yarmūk in the year 15 AH.

• ʿAyyāsh ibn Abī Rabīʿah ibn al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAyyāsh al-Makhzūmī—the one mentioned in the Prophet’s qunūt—was the subject of transmission by his son ʿAbd Allāh, and he was Abū Jahl’s half-brother through their mother.

• ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-ʿAwwām ibn Khuwaylid al-Asadī, the brother of al-Zubayr, was present at Badr as a polytheist; later he embraced Islam, fought, and his Islam was exemplary.

• ʿĀmir ibn Abī Waqqāṣ Mālik ibn Uhayb, the brother of Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ al-Zuhrī, was among the early believers and one of those who emigrated to Abyssinia. He reached Damascus while it was under siege under the command of Abū ʿUbaydah and was martyred at Yarmūk, though some say (1) at Ajnadayn.

• Naḍīr ibn al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAlqamah ibn Kaladah al-ʿAbdarī, one of the Muslims of the Conquest, was counted among the men of wisdom (2). The Prophet ﷺ sought to win his allegiance with a gift of one hundred camels. He was killed on that day.
