Biography
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Khunais was the son of Hudhafa ibn Qays from the Sahm clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca. His mother, Da'ida bint Hidhyam, was also from the Sahm clan.[1] He had two brothers, Abdullah and Qays.[2]
He was converted to Islam under the influence of Abu Bakr[3] at an early date "before Allah's Messenger entered the house of Al-Arqam".[4]
He joined the emigration to Abyssinia in 616, along with his two brothers, seven cousins and four other members of the Sahm clan.[5] Khunais was among those who returned to Mecca in 619 "under the protection of a citizen or by stealth."[6] Soon afterwards he married Hafsa bint Umar,[7] who would then have been about fourteen years old.[8]
When Umar emigrated to Medina in 622, Khunais and Hafsa accompanied his party.[9] At first they lodged with Rifa'a ibn Abdalmundhir.[10] When Muhammad instructed each Muslim to take a brother in Islam, he paired Khunais with Abu Abs ibn Jabr,[11] a brother-in-law of Muhammad ibn Maslama.[12]
Khunais was the only member of the Sahm clan who fought at the Battle of Badr in March 624.[13]
He died "at the beginning of twenty-five months after the Prophet emigrated to Madina,"[14] i.e., in late August 624. He was buried at Al-Baqi', where Muhammad personally officiated at his funeral.[15]
He had no descendants.[16] His widow, Hafsa, later married Muhammad.[17]
