Al-Walid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughira (Arabic: الوليد بن الوليد بن المغيرة, romanized: al-Walīd b. al-Walīd b. al-Mughīra) was an early companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
[1] He fought with the Quraysh against Muhammad at the Battle of Badr in 624,[2] during which many of his clansmen were slain.
[2] According to the history of al-Tabari (d. 923), al-Walid and his Makhzumite kinsmen Salama ibn Hisham (a brother of Abu Jahl) and Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'a emigrated from Mecca to join Muhammad and his followers in Medina, where he later died of heart failure.
[4] Muhammad, considering the Makhzum's usage of this name to be excessive, changed the younger al-Walid's name to Abd Allah.
[5] Abd Allah's descendants became a prominent family in Medina and inherited the properties of Khalid ibn al-Walid after the deaths of his last descendants in c. 750 because they were the closest blood relatives of the prominent commander, and continued to be in possession of the properties at least through the late 9th century.
