In the same year (the year that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) invited the Banu Zuhal bin Shaibaan tribe to Islam), Abul Haysar, Anas bin Raafi’, came to Makkah Mukarramah with a few of his young friends in search of an ally among the Quraish against the Khazraj tribe. Among his young friends was a man by the name of Iyaas bin Mu’aaz.
