al-Gharur ibn al-Mundhir

الغرور بن المنذر

Of the Lakhmid house of al-Hira; after the Prophet ﷺ's death those of Abd al-Qays who had converted reverted with him, and al-Jarud rose to call them back to Islam. Al-Suhayli, as the editors report, says his name was al-Mundhir and that he was called al-Gharur, the deceiver, because he deceived his people on the day of the ridda war.

موجز

الغرور بن المنذر بن النعمان بن المنذر، من بيت ملوك الحيرة، رجع معه بعد وفاة النبي من كان أسلم من عبد القيس إلى دينهم الأول. 1

في سيرة ابن هشام

يذكره ابن إسحاق في خبر الجارود: لما رجع من قومه من كان أسلم إلى دينهم الأول مع الغرور بن المنذر، قام الجارود فدعا إلى الإسلام. 1 وينقل المحققون عن السهيلي أن اسمه المنذر، وأنه سُمّي الغرور لأنه غرّ قومه يوم حرب الردة. 1

ملاحظة

العلاقة بينه وبين النعمان بن المنذر مأخوذة من نسبه كما طُبع؛ ولا يذكر الكتاب أكثر من هذا الخبر عنه.

Amr ibn Ma'dikarib's apostasy after the Prophet's death

Amr ibn Ma'dikarib stayed among Banu Zubayd under Farwa ibn Musayk; when the Prophet died he apostatised and said two verses disparaging Farwa's rule, calling him Abu Umayr. He was later captured in the ridda and returned to Islam, as Ibn Hajar reports from Sayf.
