Jubayr ibn Mu'tim (died 677) was a former Quraysh leader who later became a sahabi of Muhammad.
Biography[]
Jubayr was the son of Muhammad's uncle Mut'im ibn 'Adi, and he was a pagan for much of his early years. His father refused to allow him to marry Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, because Aisha and Abu Bakr were Muslim followers of Muhammad, and Jubayr would fight against the Muslims in battle. His slave Wahshi ibn Harb killed Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib with a spear at the 625 Battle of Uhud, slaying Jubayr's own uncle. However, Jubayr would later convert to Islam, and he died in 677, long after the rise of Islam.
