al-Harith ibn Hisham

A noble and chief among the lords of Banu Makhzum, brother of Abu Jahl ibn Hisham; he fought the Muslims at Badr and Uhud, then became Muslim on the day of Mecca's conquest and his Islam was good. The Prophet gave him a hundred camels at al-Ji'rana, and he was martyred striving in the battle of the Yarmuk in Syria ¹.

Al-Harith fled on the day of Badr after his brother Abu Jahl's killing, and remained hostile until the conquest of Mecca, when Umm Hani bint Abi Talib granted him protection; the Prophet gave him security and he became Muslim ². The Prophet gave him a hundred camels at al-Ji'rana in the share of those whose hearts are won over ¹. Then he went out with his family and wealth as a striver to Syria in Abu Bakr's and Umar's caliphates, and was martyred in the Syrian conquests ¹.
