Abu Jandal ibn Suhayl
أبو جندل بن سهيل
Son of Suhayl ibn Amr who embraced Islam early in Mecca and was imprisoned by his father; at the conclusion of the Hudaybiyya Treaty he escaped in chains to the Muslim camp; honoring the newly signed pact, the Prophet returned him while counseling patience, whereupon Abu Jandal escaped to the coastal enclave at al-Is with Abu Basir.
