al-Muhajir ibn Abi Umayya al-Makhzumi
المهاجر بن أبي أمية المخزومي
One of the Prophet's agents in Yemen in al-Baladhuri: some say he appointed him over San'a where he died in office, others that Abu Bakr appointed him there, while Hisham ibn al-Kalbi and al-Haytham ibn Adi give him Kinda and al-Sadif from the Prophet; he then appears in Abu Bakr's dispatch among the commanders of the Ridda war in Yemen.
