Tufayl ibn al-Harith was a companion of Muhammad and stepson of Abu Bakr.
[2] The family migrated to Mecca, where his father became the ally of Abu Bakr.
Soon afterwards, al-Harith died, leaving Tufayl and his widowed mother completely dependent on Abu Bakr.
[1] Tufayl was the owner of the slave Amir ibn Fuhayra, whom he later sold to his stepfather.
[3] When their mother emigrated to Medina in 622, Tufayl and his brother Abdulrahman remained in Mecca.
