Biography

A member of the Nawfal clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, he was the son of Mut'im ibn 'Adi.[1][2] He was renowned for his knowledge of genealogy, which he claimed to have learned directly from Abu Bakr.[1]

Until 3 BH (620 CE), Jubayr was engaged to Abu Bakr's daughter Aisha. This arrangement was cancelled by mutual consent in May or June 620: Abu Bakr wished to accept Muhammad's proposal for Aisha, while Jubayr's parents did not want him to be influenced into becoming a Muslim.[2]Template:Rp[3]Template:Rp

In September 622, Jubayr was one of those involved in an unsuccessful plot to kill Muhammad.[1]Template:Rp

At the Battle of Uhud Jubayr bribed his slave Wahshy ibn Harb with manumission to kill Hamza ibn 'Abdul Muttalib because Hamza had killed Jubayr's uncle at Badr.[1]Template:Rp

He adopted Islam in the period between the Hudaibiah Treaty (628) and the Conquest of Mecca (630) and then settled in Medina.[4]Template:Rp

He had two sons, Nafi,[5] described as "prolific in relating tradition,"[1]Template:Rp and Muhammad, said to have been "the most learned of the Quraysh".[1]Template:Rp However, his kunya, Abu Abdullah,[4]Template:Rp indicates the possible existence of another son named Abdullah.

Narrations

Jubayr is included in the Isnad of several hadith.

Narrated Jubayr ibn Mut`im: My father said, "I heard Allah's Messenger reciting "at-Tur" (52) in the Maghrib prayer." Bukhari 1:12:732

Narrated Jubayr ibn Mut`im: That he heard the Prophet saying, "The person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Paradise." Bukhari 8:73:13

Jubayr ibn Mut'im narrated from his father who said: "They told me that I was proud, while I rode a donkey, wore a cloak, and I milked the sheep. And the Messenger of Allah said to me: 'Whoever does these, then there is no pride (arrogance) in him.'" Sahih. Tirmidhi 4:1:2001

Narrated Jubayr ibn Mut`im: The Prophet talked about war prisoners of Badr saying, "Had [your father] Al-Mut`im ibn Adi been alive and interceded with me for these mean people, I would have freed them for his sake." Bukhari 4:53:367

Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im reported on the authority of his father that a woman asked Allah's Messenger about something, but he told her to come to him on some other occasion, whereupon she said: "What in your opinion [should I do] if I come to you but do not find you?" and it seemed as if she meant that he might die. Thereupon he said: "If you do not find me, then come to Abu Bakr." This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jubayr ibn Mut'im through another chain of transmitters [and the words are] that a woman came to Allah's Messenger and discussed with him something, and he gave a command as we find in the above-mentioned narration. Muslim 31:5878
