Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utba

Companion (Sahabi) of Muhammad

Abū Ḥudhayfa ibn ʿUtba (Arabic: أبو حذيفة بن عتبة; died 633), full name Abū Ḥudhayfa ibn ʿUtba ibn Rabīʿa was an early companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the son of Utba ibn Rabi'a, one of the Leaders of Banu Abd Shams. He was the brother of Walid ibn Utba and Hind bint Utba, the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb.

He had a companion named Salim Mawla Abi Hudhayfa, a notable companion of Muhammad and scholar of the Qur’an, whom he freed and announced him as his adopted son but after the revelation of Qur’anic verses condemning this act, Salim became his close friend.[1]

He died along with his close friend, Salim Mawla Abi Hudhayfa in the battle against Musaylima during the caliphate of Abu Bakr.
