Before the hijra, Muhammad had appointed Masab ibn Umair to carry out Dawah, which he did excellently. Stirrings of change did not leave even the household of Am’r bin Jamooh. All of his three sons Muawwaz ibn Amr, Muaaz ibn Amr, and Khallad ibn Amr entered the fold of Islam. On their initiation, even their mother, Hind the wife of Amr, professed the shahadah. But they kept their faith secret lest it hurt their father.
One day Am’r warned Hind of the ‘danger’ Masa’b was posing to the traditional faith of the people of Madinah and asked her to safeguard the sons, totally oblivious of the fact that Islam had swept them off their ancestral religion.
Abu Jahl was killed in the Battle of Badr by two youth, Muaaz ibn Amr and Muawwaz ibn Amr.
