Abu Shajara Amr ibn Abd al-Uzza al-Sulami
أبو شجرة عمرو بن عبد العزة السلمي
A Sulami, son of al-Khansa'; he led a gathering of Banu Sulaym at Jaw Quraqir (some say al-Nuqra) and fought Khalid ibn al-Walid (may God be pleased with him) in the Ridda until God scattered their gathering after one Muslim fell a martyr; he later embraced Islam and came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) as he was giving to the poor, begging of him — Umar said 'are you not the one who said: I have healed my spirit from Khalid's squadron, yet I hope to live long after it?' and struck him with the durra, to which he answered 'Islam has erased that, commander of the faithful'.

في حروب الردة
يذكر البلاذري أنه كان على جمع لبني سليم بجو قراقر، وقيل بالنقرة، فقاتل خالد بن الوليد في الردة. قُتل من المسلمين رجل، ثم تفرّق جمعهم. 1
بعد إسلامه
ثم أسلم وقدم على عمر بن الخطاب وهو يعطي المساكين، فاستعطاه. فقال له عمر: «ألست القائل: ودويت ريحي من كتيبة خالد وإني لأزجو بعدها أن أعمرا»، وعلاه بالدرة. فأجابه: «قد محى الإسلام ذلك يا أمير المؤمنين». 1
