Overview
In the Ridda wars
Al-Baladhuri says he commanded a force of the Banu Sulaym at Jaw Qaraqir, or it is said at al-Nuqra, and fought Khalid ibn al-Walid in the Ridda. One Muslim was killed, and then their force scattered. 1
After his conversion
He then embraced Islam and came to Umar ibn al-Khattab while he was giving to the poor, and asked him for a gift. Umar said to him: "Did you not say: 'I was struck by the wind from Khalid's host, and I hope to live after it'?" and struck him with the whip. He answered: "Islam has erased that, Commander of the Faithful." 1
