Among them was:
ʿAbd Allah (1) ibn Suhayl ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Shams ibn ʿAbd Wudd al-Qurashi al-ʿĀmiri. He embraced Islam early and performed the Hijrah, but was later overpowered in Mecca. On the day of Badr he set out with the Quraysh; yet when the two armies met, he broke away to the Muslims and fought the battle on their side. He was killed at al-Yamāmah. When Abu Bakr went on Hajj he offered condolences to his father, whereupon Suhayl said, “I have heard that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘The martyr will intercede for seventy of his relatives’ (2); I therefore hope that he will begin with me.”
Among them was:
ʿAbd Allah (3) ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Ubayy ibn Salūl al-Ansari al-Khazraji. He was counted among the leading and most virtuous Companions; he fought at Badr and every battle thereafter. His father was the chief of the hypocrites, and he was harsher toward his father than anyone else—had the Messenger of Allah permitted him, he would have struck off his head. His original name was al-Hubāb, but the Messenger of Allah changed it to ʿAbd Allah. He was martyred at al-Yamāmah (may Allah be pleased with him).
Among them was:
ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (4). He entered Islam in its earliest days, and it is said that he was the one who used to bring food, drink, and news to the Messenger of Allah and to Abu Bakr while they were in the Cave of Thawr, spending the night with them and appearing in Mecca at dawn as though he had slept there. Whenever he heard of any plot against them, he informed them. He fought at al-Ṭāʾif, where a man called Abu Mihjan al-Thaqafi shot him with an arrow that caused his flesh to waste away. The wound closed, but the ensuing fever (5) never left him until he died in Shawwal of the year 11 AH.
Among them was:
ʿUkkāshah ibn Miḥṣan (6) ibn Ḥurthān ibn Qays ibn Murrah ibn Kabīr (7) ibn Ghanm ibn Dūdān ibn Asad ibn Khuzaymah al-Asadi.
