Islam in Mecca (The Sealed Nectar pp.133-134)
He came to Mecca in the eleventh year of the mission. The people of Mecca warned him about the Prophet ﷺ and said that his speech was like magic. He stuffed his ears with cotton, but then he heard some of his words. The Prophet offered him Islam and recited the Qur'an to him, and he became Muslim. He asked that God give him a sign. His sign was a light on his face, which then moved to his whip. Later his father and his wife became Muslim. He emigrated after the Battle of the Trench with seventy or eighty households of his people, and he was martyred on the day of Yamama. 1 2.
