Suhayl ibn Amr

Suhayl ibn ʿAmr (Arabic: سهيل بن عمرو), also known as Abū Yazīd,[1] was a contemporary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and a prominent leader among the Quraysh tribe of Mecca.

Suhayl is described as a tall, fair-skinned, handsome man of pleasant appearance,[4]: 302  though he had a cleft lower lip.

[4]: 206 In 624, Suhayl and his son Abdullah set out with the Quraysh army to meet Abu Sufyan's caravan.

Umar offered to knock out his two front teeth so that "his tongue will stick out and he will never be able to speak against you again;" but Muhammad would not allow it.

Since Mikraz did not have the animals with him, he remained in Medina as security while Suhayl returned to Mecca to arrange the payment.

[4]: 504  Before the writing-up was finished, Suhayl's son Abu Jandal appeared, saying he was a Muslim and wanted to go to Medina.

[4]: 505 Suhayl joined Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl in Mecca's final resistance against Muhammad at Khandama Pass.
