Hisham ibn al-Mughirah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hisham ibn al-Mughirah was from the Banu Makhzum sub-clan of the Quraish tribe and was also one of Muhammads contemporary.

He was the son of Mughirah ibn Abd-Allah, one of the Leaders of Quraish. His brother was Walid ibn al-Mughira, thus, he was the uncle of the famous Muslim general Khalid ibn al-Walid.

He was rumored to have a relation with Layla bint Harmalah, the mother of Amr ibn al-A'as[1]

It is unclear whether he became Muslim.
