جنادة بن أبي أمية الأزدي

In al-Baladhuri: a hadith transmitter who met Abu Bakr, Umar and Mu'adh ibn Jabal and died in year 80; Mu'awiya sent him to Rhodes which he opened by force in year 53, settling Muslims in it, opened Arwad in year 54, and raided Crete — when Mu'awiya died Yazid wrote him ordering the fort's demolition and return.
