Abstract

Abu Mälik c Abdalläh b. Säm of Kinda, a Jewish Convert to Islam Michael Lecker (Jerusalem) Labid b. al-Ac§am, a Jewish convert to Islam whom the Islamic Tradition associates with the bewitching of the Prophet Muhammad, emigrated from the Yemen to Medina before Islam and became a client of the Barm Zurayq (a subdivision of the Khazraj). His nisba, al-Sahuli, suggests that he was of IJimyar.1) It is possible to trace a similar case of a Jew who emigrated to Medina from the Yemen, or rather from IJacJramawt, on the eve of Islam. He was a Kindite, and since most of the Kinda lived in Hadramawt, it is plausible that he came to Medina from IJacJramawt. The Kindite emigrant was Abu Mälik cAbdalläh b. Säm. He had a son called Tha<laba b. Abi Mälik al-Qura?! al-Madani, who was born at the time of the Prophet. (Consequently, his entitlement to Companion status was disputed.) The nisba alQura?i points to the tribe to which this Kindite and his family were attached.2) Thac laba transmitted Hadlth from prominent figures such as <Umait, cUthman and (Abdalläh b. 'Urnar.
