al-Abbas ibn Ubada

A zealous leader of the Khazraj who attended both Pledges of Aqaba; at the Second Pledge he stood to impress upon the Yathribites the gravity of their covenant, declaring their readiness to face war against all mankind; after the meeting he offered to strike the Quraysh encampment at Mina if ordered; he was martyred at the battle of Uhud.
