When Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Ayyaash bin Abi Rabee‘ah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, Abu Jahal bin Hishaam and his brother, Haarith bin Hishaam (i.e. Abu Jahal’s brother who later embraced Islam), travelled to Madinah Munawwarah.

They came to Hazrat Ayyaash (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and said to him, “Your mother has vowed that as long as she does not lay eyes on you, she will neither comb her hair nor will she take shade from the sunshine.” Hearing this, the eyes of Hazrat Ayyaash (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) were filled with tears and he agreed to return to Makkah with Abu Jahal.
