Hubab ibn al-Mundhir (1) ibn al-Jamūḥ ibn Zayd ibn Ḥarām ibn Kaʿb ibn Ghanm ibn Kaʿb ibn Salamah, kunya Abū ʿUmar—some say Abū ʿAmr—al-Anṣārī al-Khazrajī al-Sulamī. He was called Dhū al-Raʾy (“the Man of Sound Counsel”) because, on the day of Badr, he advised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to encamp at the nearest well to the enemy and to stop up the wells lying behind them; his view proved correct, and an angel descended confirming it. As for his remark on the day of the Saqīfah: “I am its polished twig and its well-fenced palm-shoot; a leader from us and a leader from you” (2), this proposal was rejected by Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and the rest of the Companions.
Rabīʿah ibn al-Ḥārith (3) ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib [al-Hāshimī, a cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ].
ʿUtbah ibn Masʿūd (4) al-Hudhalī emigrated with his full brother ʿAbd Allah to Abyssinia and was present at Uḥud and every battle thereafter. Al-Zuhrī (5) said, “ʿAbd Allah was no more learned than he, but ʿUtbah died before him.” The soundest report is that he passed away during the caliphate of ʿUmar; others say during the reign of Muʿāwiyah, in the year 44 AH.
ʿAlqamah ibn ʿUlāthah (6) ibn ʿAwf ibn al-Aḥwaṣ ibn Jaʿfar ibn Kilāb ibn Rabīʿah ibn ʿĀmir ibn Ṣaʿṣaʿah al-ʿĀmirī al-Kilābī accepted Islam in the Year of the Conquest, fought at Ḥunayn, and on that day received one hundred camels as a conciliatory gift. He lived in Tihāmah and was an honoured, obeyed chief among his people. During the caliphate of Abū Bakr he apostatised; a detachment was sent against him and he fled, after which he returned to Islam and his faith became sound. He visited ʿUmar during his caliphate, travelled to Damascus to claim an inheritance there, and it is also said that ʿUmar appointed him over Ḥawrān, where he died. The poet al-Ḥuṭayʾah set out to praise him (7), but ʿAlqamah died a few nights before his arrival, so al-Ḥuṭayʾah said (8):
from the ṭawīl metre
Had I but met you alive and unharmed,
Nothing would have stood between me and riches (9)
Save a handful of fleeting nights.
