Lives of Sahaba 78 - Suhayl Ibn Amr And His Family

In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the biography of Suhayl Ibn Amr and his family. He was the Khatib or orator and one of the leaders of Makkah at the time of the advent of Islam. His two famous sons with regards to Islam are - Abdullah Ibn Suhayl and Abu Jandal Ibn Suhayl. As we shall learn, we gather his role in the refusal of protection of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on his return from Ta'if. He was also instrumental in concluding the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and we shall see the incidents that transpired during these events. He set the condition for the treaty to be signed from the Muslims as Muhammad ibn Abdullah as opposed to the Prophet Muhammad, which was outright rejection of the Prophethood. He died of the Amawas plague in the 18th year of the Hijra.
