Abū Umayya ibn Al-Mughīra (ابو ٱمية بن المغيرة), whose original name was Suhayl and whose by-name was Zād ar-Rākib ("the Travellers' Provider")[1]: 80 was the chief of Mecca in the early seventh century.
He was known as Zad ar-Rakib because on all his journeys he paid the expenses of every person in the company.
[1]: 80 Abu Umayya was the chief of Mecca at the time when the Kaaba was rebuilt[5]: 24 in 605.
Abu Umayya played a key role in settling the dispute by suggesting that the next man to enter the gate should be appointed umpire.
As it happened, the next man to walk in was the future prophet Muhammad.
