جنادة بن أبي أمية الأزدي

Janada ibn Abi Umayya al-Azdi, whom al-Baladhuri mentions among those from whom hadith is transmitted. He met Abu Bakr, Umar and Mu'adh ibn Jabal, and died in 80 AH. ¹

Mu'awiya sent him to Rhodes, which he took by storm in 53 AH and settled with a group of Muslims. He then took Arwad in 54 AH, and raided Crete. When Mu'awiya died, Yazid wrote to him ordering him to demolish the fortress of Rhodes and return. ²

See the conquest of Rhodes, the conquest of Arwad and the raid on Crete.
