Shayba ibn Uthman al-Hajabi

Custodian of the Ka'ba of Banu Abd al-Dar; he went out with the Muslim army to Hunayn fresh from the Jahiliyya, harbouring intent to kill the Prophet in revenge for his father and uncle slain at Uhud — then God preserved His prophet, called to him and wiped his chest, and he became Muslim and fought for him ¹.

Ibn Ishaq relates from Shayba ibn Uthman that he said: when I saw the people had scattered from the Messenger of God I said: today I take my revenge on Muhammad — I drew near him from behind to strike him with my sword, but a flame of fire like lightning enveloped me and I recoiled and turned away. The Prophet turned to me and said: "Shayba, come near me" — I came near and he laid his hand on my chest, and he did not lift it until no creature God created was dearer to me than he. Then he said: "fight" — and I went forward fighting before him ¹.

After that he took up the custodianship of the Sacred House and carried its key in Mecca ¹.
