Waqid ibn Abdullah al-Yarbu'i

Waqid ibn Abd Allah al-Tamimi al-Yarbu'i, an ally of the Banu Adi ibn Ka'b ¹. Musa ibn Uqba said in the campaigns: Waqid, also said Waqdan, took part at Badr, and Ibn Ishaq similarly mentions him among those who took part at Badr ¹.

Ibn Ishaq reports, from Urwa, that the Prophet ﷺ sent Abd Allah ibn Jahsh to Nakhla. In it, Waqid ibn Abd Allah came up to them having shaved his head, and they said: "These are umar (pilgrims); there is no harm to you from him." The Muslims then resolved to fight them, and "Waqid ibn Abd Allah shot Amr ibn al-Hadrami with an arrow and killed him". The verse of al-Baqara (2:217) was then revealed ^{1 2}. For details, see the expedition to Nakhla. Abu Nu'aym reports the story, and al-Tabari reports it through al-Suddi ².

Abu Ubayda said: the Banu Yarbu' used to boast that among them was the first who killed a polytheist in Islam. Umar ibn al-Khattab composed verses about this, mentioning the spears that gave Ibn al-Hadrami to drink at Nakhla when Waqid kindled the war ². Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said, from Umayr: "I named my son Waqid after Waqid ibn Abd Allah al-Yarbu'i" ². Ibn Abi Hatim said, from his father: this Waqid died at the beginning of the caliphate of Umar ².
