Volume 5, Book 59, Number 286:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
From Sad bin Mu’adh: Sad bin Mu’adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever
Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sad, and whenever Sad went to Mecca, he used
to stay with Umaiya. When Allah’s Apostle arrived at Medina, Sa’d went to perform ‘Umra and stayed
at Umaiya’s home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, “Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is empty so
that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka’ba.” So Umaiya went with him about midday. Abu
Jahl met them and said, “O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?” He said, “He is Sad.”
Abu Jahl addressed Sad saying, “I see you wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of the fact that
you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became Muslims) and
have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the company of
Abu Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely.” Sad, raising his voice, said to him, “By
Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would certainly prevent you
from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage through Medina.” On this,
Umaiya said to him, “O Sad do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief of the people of
the Valley (of Mecca).” Sad said, “O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard Allah’s Apostle predict –
ing that the Muslim will kill you.” Umaiya asked, “In Mecca?” Sad said, “I do not know.” Umaiya was
greatly scared by that news.
When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, “O Um Safwan! Don’t you know what
Sad told me? “She said, “What has he told you?” He replied, “He claims that Muhammad has informed
them (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, ‘In Mecca?’ He replied, ‘I do not know.”
Then Umaiya added, “By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca.” But when the day of (the Ghazwa of)
Badr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, “Go and protect your caravan.” But Umaiya dis –
liked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, “O Abu Safwan! If the people see you stay –
ing behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with

you.” Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, “As you have forced me to change
my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). “O Um
Safwan, prepare what I need (for the journey).” She said to him, “O Abu Safwan! Have you forgotten
what your Yathribi brother told you?” He said, “No, but I do not want to go with them but for a short
distance.” So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He kept on doing
that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.
