Al-Raheeq al-Makhtum counts this clan among the "allies" against whom a man of Zubayd (al-Zubaydi) sought redress when al-As ibn Wa'il withheld his right. They were Abd al-Dar, Makhzum, Jumah, Sahm and Adi, and they paid him no heed. That was the cause of the Pact of al-Fudul, which Banu Hashim, Banu al-Muttalib, Asad, Zuhra and Taym formed 4 5.

Return of the Abyssinian emigrants with Ja'far ibn Abi Talib

After Hudaybiyya, the Prophet sent Amr ibn Umayya al-Damri to the Negus, who transported the remaining Muslim emigrants in two ships to the Prophet at Khaybar after the conquest. The Prophet received Ja'far with a kiss between the eyes, saying 'I do not know which gives me greater joy — the opening of Khaybar or the arrival of Ja'far.' Sixteen men came on the two ships; thirty-four others came later or died in Abyssinia; sixteen women emigrated in all, counting those who came back and those who died there, apart from daughters born there.
