\nNarrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:\n \n\nFrom Sa`d bin Mu`adh: Sa`d bin Mu`adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever \nUmaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sa`d, and whenever Sa`d went to Mecca, he used \nto stay with Umaiya. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Sa`d went to perform `Umra and \nstayed at Umaiya's home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, "Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is \nempty so that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka`ba." So Umaiya went with him about \nmidday. Abu Jahl met them and said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He said, \n"He is Sa`d." Abu Jahl addressed Sa`d saying, "I see you wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of \nthe fact that you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became \nMuslims) and have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the \ncompany of Abu Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely." Sa`d, raising his voice, \nsaid to him, "By Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would \ncertainly prevent you from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage through \nMedina." On this, Umaiya said to him, "O Sa`d do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief \nof the people of the Valley (of Mecca)." Sa`d said, "O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) predicting that the Muslim will kill you." Umaiya asked, "In Mecca?" Sa`d said, "I do \nnot know." Umaiya was greatly scared by that news. \nWhen Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, "O Um Safwan! Don't you know what Sa`d \ntold me? "She said, "What has he told you?" He replied, "He claims that Muhammad has informed \nthem (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, 'In Mecca?' He replied, 'I do not know." \nThen Umaiya added, "By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca." But when the day of (the Ghazwa of) \nBadr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, "Go and protect your caravan." But Umaiya \ndisliked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, "O Abu Safwan! If the people see you \nstaying behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with \nyou." Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, "As you have forced me to \nchange my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). "O \nUm Safwan, prepare what I need (for the journey)." She said to him, "O Abu Safwan! Have you \nforgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?" He said, "No, but I do not want to go with them but \nfor a short distance." So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He \nkept on doing that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.\n
