Amr ibn al-Harith al-Jurhumi

Amr ibn al-Harith ibn Mudad al-Jurhumi, who, at the expulsion of Jurhum from Mecca, took the two gazelles of the Ka'ba and the Black Stone and buried them in the well of Zamzam, and he and those with him of Jurhum went off to Yemen, in the account of Ibn Ishaq that al-Mubarakfuri's "Al-Rahiq al-Makhtum" relates. ^{1 2}

They grieved for what they had left of Mecca and its rule with great grief, and Amr said verses in which he says that between al-Hajun and al-Safa there was no companion and no one told night stories in Mecca, and that they had been its people until the vicissitudes of the nights destroyed them. ^{1 2}

The author relates from al-Mas'udi that the Persians used to give money and jewels to the Ka'ba in early times, and that Sasan ibn Babak gave two gazelles of gold, jewels, swords and much gold, and Amr threw them into the well of Zamzam. ^{1 3} See the re-digging of Zamzam.

The author notes that this is not Mudad al-Jurhumi the Elder, who was mentioned in the story of Isma'il. ¹
