Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh
Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh (عبد الله بن جحش) (c.586–625)[1] was a cousin and companion of Muhammad.
He was the son of Jahsh ibn Riyab, an immigrant to Mecca from the Asad tribe,[2] and Umama bint Abdulmuttalib, a member of the Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe. One of his sisters was Zaynab bint Jahsh, a wife of Muhammad.[3] He is described as "neither tall nor short and had a lot of hair."[4]
He married Fatima bint Abi Hubaysh,[5] who was a cousin of Khadija from the Asad clan of the Quraysh,[6] and they had one son, Muhammad.[7]
Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh embraced Islam under the influence of Abu Bakr.[8] He joined other Muslims in the second emigration to Abyssina in 616.[9] He returned to Mecca in late 619 and was one of the first to emigrate to Medina in 622.[10]
Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh was killed in the battle of Uhud by Akhnas ibn Shariq.[11] According to his family, his opponents mutilated his corpse by cutting off his nose and ears.[12]
