ʿAmr ibn al-Jamūḥ (Arabic: عمرو بن الجموح) was an ansari companion of Muhammad, and a chief of Banu Salama.
His son Mu’adh Ibn Amr recited Surah Fatiha to his dad one day, which sparked his interest in Islam.
His sons and their friend, Mu’adh Ibn Jabal, concocted a plan to secretly throw Manaf in the dump.
When Amr Ibn Al Jamuh found his idol in the dump, he got very upset, removed it, cleaned it and returned it back to its place.
He became a devout Muslim and wished to participate in the Battle of Uhud but his sons refused, especially considering Amr was incapacitated in one leg.
