Among them was:
Abū Dujānah, Simāk (1) ibn Kharashah—some say: Simāk ibn Aws ibn Kharashah ibn Lawdhān ibn ʿAbd Wudd ibn Zayd ibn Thaʿlabah ibn al-Khazraj ibn Sāʿidah ibn Kaʿb ibn al-Khazraj, the Khazrajī Anṣārī. He was present at Badr and distinguished himself at Uḥud, fighting with great valor. On that day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed him a sword, and he fulfilled its right. He would strut when going into battle, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “This is a gait that Allah detests—except on this occasion.” (2) He used to wrap a red head-band around his head as a badge of courage.

He fought at al-Yamāmah, and it is said he was among those who scaled the garden of Banū Ḥanīfah that day; his leg was broken, yet he continued to fight until he was killed. Together with Wahshī ibn Ḥarb he slew Musaylimah: Wahshī cast his spear at him and Abū Dujānah struck him with the sword. Wahshī later said, “Your Lord knows which of us actually killed him.” Another report states that Abū Dujānah lived on to witness Ṣiffīn with ʿAlī, but the first account is sounder. As for the so-called ḥirz (3) attributed to Abū Dujānah, its chain of transmission is weak and unworthy of consideration—Allah knows best.

Among them was:
Shujāʿ (4) ibn Wahb ibn Rabīʿah al-Asadī, an ally of Banū ʿAbd Shams. He embraced Islam early, emigrated, and took part in Badr and every subsequent battle. He served as the envoy of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Shamir al-Ghassānī, who did not accept Islam, though his gatekeeper Saway did. Shujāʿ ibn Wahb was martyred at al-Yamāmah at a little over forty years of age. He was a tall, slender man with a slight stoop. (5)

Among them was:
Al-Tufayl (6) ibn ʿAmr ibn Ṭarīf ibn al-ʿĀṣ ibn Thaʿlabah ibn Sulaym ibn Fahm (7) ibn Ghanm ibn Daws al-Dawsī. He accepted Islam early, before the Hijrah, then returned to his people and called them to Allah, and Allah guided them through him. When the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah, al-Tufayl came to him with ninety Muslim households from Daws. He later set out with the Muslims in the Year of al-Yamāmah, accompanied by his son ʿAmr. Al-Tufayl saw in a dream that his head had been shaved, that a woman had swallowed him into her private part, and that his son was striving to reach him but could not…
