Summary

An emigrant to Abyssinia who came in the two ships; he was Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him)'s keeper over the Muslims' treasury, and his tie was to the house of Sa'id ibn al-As. 1

In the Abyssinian emigrants chapter

Ibn Ishaq names him fourth of four men of Banu Abd Shams in the two ships. 1 He describes him as Umar ibn al-Khattab's keeper over the Muslims' treasury, and as being "to the house of Sa'id ibn al-As" — that is, in their clientship or tie; the book expressed it with a preposition and said no more. 1

Tribe

He belongs, per Ibn Ishaq, to Banu Abd Shams 1

Source notes and markers of doubt

  • The nature of his tie to the house of Sa'id ibn al-As (ally or client) is not stated in the text; we have not presumed it.
