Iyas ibn Mu'adh
إياس بن معاذ
A young Awsite lad from Yathrib who came to Mecca in an alliance-seeking delegation before the battle of Bu'ath; when the Prophet presented Islam to the delegation, Iyas declared it better than their tribal cause, but was struck down by his leader Abu al-Haysar; he died shortly thereafter in Yathrib praising God.
