Harb ibn Umayya to govern Najran, or his son (1) Yazīd, and the Prophet died while he was still governing it (2). [The Prophet of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—] (3) also formed marriage ties with the Banū Umayya through his three daughters. He married his eldest daughter, Zaynab, to Abū al-Ās ibn al-Rabī ibn Umayya ibn Abd Shams (4). He praised his son-in-law when Alī wished to marry a daughter (5) of Abū Jahl: he mentioned one of his sons-in-law from the descendants of [Umayya] (6) ibn Abd Shams and spoke highly of his conduct as a son-in-law, saying:
“He spoke to me and was truthful with me (7), and he made me a promise and kept it.” (8)
(1) S, R, and H read: “and his son.”
(2) *Al-Isāba*, 2/172, states: “It is also said that the Prophet—may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace—appointed him governor of Najrān, but this is not established. Al-Wāqidī said: ‘Our authorities reject this and maintain that Abū Sufyān was in Mecca when the Prophet—may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace—died, while 'Amr ibn Hazm was governor of Najrān at that time.’” *Usd al-Ghāba*, 5/491–492 (al-Sha'b ed.), states that Abū Bakr placed Yazīd ibn Abī Sufyān in command of an army and sent him to Syria, and that 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb later appointed him governor of Palestine.
