Overview
Al-Fuja'a, whose name was Bujayr ibn Iyas ibn Abd Allah al-Sulami. 1
His story in al-Baladhuri
He came to Abu Bakr and asked him to carry and strengthen him so he could fight the apostates. Abu Bakr gave him a mount and weapons. 1
He then went out intercepting people, killed Muslims and apostates, and gathered a force. Abu Bakr wrote to Tarifa ibn Hajiza ordering him to fight him, and Tarifa captured him and sent him to Abu Bakr. 1
Abu Bakr ordered him burned in the area of the musalla. In another report, Abu Bakr wrote to Ma'n, and Tarifa sent his brother to capture him. 1
Al-Baladhuri says that Abu Bakr regretted this, and said he wished he had killed him without burning him. 1
His story is connected with the Ridda wars. The date in the museum's data, about 11 AH, is a derived conversion.
