He was the son of Mut`im ibn `Uday[1]
In 12 BH (610 CE), Abu Bakr had initially engaged his daughter Aisha to Jubayr ibn Mut'im, but when Jubayr's father Mut`im ibn `Uday was informed that Abu Bakr had adopted Islam and rejected polytheism, Mut`im no longer wished his son to marry Aisha[3].
He was especially known for his knowledge of genealogy[1]. He was the owner of Wahshy ibn Harb, the slave who killed Hamza ibn 'Abdul Muttalib. He adopted Islam in the period between the Hudaibiah Treaty and the Conquest of Mecca[1].
He had two sons, Nafi' ibn Jubayr[4] and Muhammad ibn Jubayr[5]. He is included in the Isnad of several hadith[6], among them being the hadith of the two weighty things[2]
