Mention of the virtues of Abu Hudhayfah Hushaym bin Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf (may Allah be pleased with him), who was beloved of Allah and the son of the enemy of Allah and of His Messenger (Utbah). He was martyred in the Battle of al-Yamamah in the twelfth year of the Hijrah, at the age of fifty-three or fifty-four.

Muhammad bin Umar states that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) had accepted Islam before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Dar al-Arqam, and he was among those who made both emigrations (to Abyssinia and to Madinah).

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr and challenged his father Utbah to single combat. When he called his father to single combat, his sister Hind bint Utbah said (these verses in condemnation of him): "The squint-eyed one, with a gap in his front teeth and an ill omen, Abu Hudhayfah is the worst of people in the matter of religion. Did you not show gratitude to the father who raised you in childhood, until you grew into a strapping young man?"
