Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl (may God be pleased with him) led the only resistance inside Mecca on the day of its conquest, then entered Islam to serve as a soldier under the new banner and fell at Yarmuk.

Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl (may God be pleased with him) inherited his father's fighting — he led the only resistance inside Mecca on the day of the conquest, then fled toward Yemen; his wife Umm Hakim reached him with the Prophet ﷺ's safe-conduct, so he returned and gave allegiance. In Abu Bakr's days he led the troops against Musaylima in the Ridda wars, then marched to Syria and fell at Yarmuk around 636 CE.
